As many of you know, I've been an avid jailbreaker of my iPhone ever since it was announced that jailbreaking was officially legal.
True, I never really thought the whole "illegal" aspect had a leg to stand on in the first place, but I do my best to play within the rules.
Now that jailbreaking has become a part of my life, a viewer inquires about the possibility of it going away as time moves forward. I consider this prospect, and many other questions in Episode 07 of Ask Jeff...
Even with all of the confusion surrounding Apple's iPhone announcement this year, there are two things we know for certain. The device is going to include a faster processor (presumably the A5 found in the iPad 2), and a better camera.
While we don't know much about the camera just yet, we do have a pretty good idea of what the A5 is capable of. It wouldn't surprise me to see Apple tout the next iPhone as the fastest in the industry. And they're already working on making it faster....
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson recently responded to the rumor that Sprint would be getting the iPhone next month. During the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference, Stephenson described the effect of carriers adding the iPhone as being "always overblown" by the media.
AT&T feels that the iPhone's availability on more carriers does nothing, and will continue to do nothing, to the company's relevancy among its competition. Stephenson said that, "I’m very confident that we’ll do very well with” the new iPhone...

With Apple expected to hold its next iPhone announcement on October 4th, we're all wondering when we'll be able to get our hands on the iPhone 5/iPhone 4S. We can look back at history and guess, but 2011 has proved to be an entirely different roadmap for Apple. Anything could happen.
The first real hint at the next generation iPhone release date may have just been dropped, thanks to AT&T's early upgrade policy...
BGR is reporting that they have obtained images of some next-generation iPhone cases. But these aren't the same iPhone 5 cases we've seen popping up all over Asia for the past month. They are actually for the iPhone 4S.
The tech blog received the images from a source within AT&T's retail chain. The tipster claims they are starting to see accessories come in for the Apple's new smartphone. The proof is in the pictures, as the new cases don't appear to be for the current model...
It was only five days ago that I predicted Sprint would have to put an end to its unlimited data plan, and it seems that I was right. Following Verizon and AT&T's lead, a leaked internal document reveals that Sprint will start capping their unlimited tethering data plan to 5GB/month, starting October 2nd.
