As expected, the Dev Team has released RedSn0w 0.9.14b1 tonight. The new version of the jailbreak tool features the highly-anticipated ability to downgrade the baseband on the iPhone 3G(S).
Unlocked 3G(S) users stuck on baseband 06.15 can now downgrade to 05.13.04. This will restore GPS functionality, as well as allow you to use stock IPSWs again. Full details after the break...
As expected, Apple took the wraps off the latest iteration of its mobile operating system last week. And although it may not be quite the upgrade that its predecessor was, iOS 6 still includes a ton of new features and other enhancements.
We've covered a number of these additions here on iDB already, but it's hard to keep up with each and every new discovery. So, we've decided to put together a census of all of the new changes. Here's iDB's ultimate list of new iOS 6 features...
With the release of the highly-anticipated 06.15 baseband downgrade likely just around the corner, we figured this would be a great time to show off this video.
The clip is of Dev Team's MuscleNerd explaining the evolution of the iPhone baseband, and corresponding unlocks, at this year's Hack In The Box conference...
Digital home control may be the way of the future, but much of the current technology is still out of reach for the average consumer. It's expensive, complicated, and not very user-friendly. But there are companies looking to change that.
Take the Elphi, for example. This new "smart plug" is looking to change the way we look at home automation. Simply plug the Elphi into an AC outlet, plug in any AC-powered device to the Elphi, and open the accompanying iPhone app...
Last week, some amazing renderings of — what much of the tech world is assuming to be — the next generation iPhone surfaced on the net. They looked so good, in fact, that a lot of us wondered if they were the real deal.
But alas, they weren't. As we later found out, the images were just a gorgeous 3D art project by designer Martin Hayjek. And today, he's back with some even better looking renderings of the new iPhone in white...
Still looking for new iOS 6 features? Then you're in luck, because we've just come across one that you might not have seen yet: Government Alerts.
That's right, it looks like the latest iteration of Apple's mobile OS includes built-in support for AMBER alerts, and other emergency notifications...
It's not a typo: I really meant Nokia, not RIM. Look, the writing's on the wall. In the first quarter of 2012, only Apple and Samsung reaped benefits of the 41 percent year-over-year growth in the smartphone biz.
Together, the two frenemies accounted for 55 percent of global smartphone shipments in Q1 and an astounding 90 percent of the profits.
Apple shipped 35 million iPhones in Q1 while Samsung recorded 43 million global shipments. None of this is surprising. What's stunning is how sharp Nokia's decline is. Of all companies, beleaguered RIM, whose Q1 shipments dipped 20 percent, may soon surpass Nokia...
Do you own an iPhone 4S? If so, you and tens of millions of others like yourself in the United States and abroad won't qualify for a fully subsidized upgrade this fall. Blame it on the disparity between yearly iPhone cycles and carriers' policy of locking smartphone buyers with two-year contracts.
Apple's phone is enjoying stellar sales, moving 37.1 million units last holiday and 35.1 million last quarter, thanks partially to last summer's pent up demand.
The question is, will iPhone 4S owners - now locked into wireless service contracts and not eligible for fully subsidized upgrades - be willing to pay extra to obtain an early iPhone 5 upgrade this fall?
If you can't get enough of futuristic mockups like a holographic iPhone, this one's guaranteed to pique your interest.
It's viral now as clearly a lot of work has gone into rendering such a surprisingly realistic-looking depiction of a next-gen iPhone.
The basic premise definitely salivated our mouth and made us wish someone out there paid notice and engineered a device like this. Not like it's happening anytime soon, mind you, but perhaps Samsung's collective brain trust is crazy enough to take a shot at it?
After all, the South Korean conglomerate is working on phones and tablets featuring flexible displays so...

Two weeks ago, Finnish developer Rovio updated Angry Birds Space, the latest installment of its addictive pig-pounding series, with a bunch of food-themed levels. Today, Angry Birds Seasons gets some love as Rovio issues a free summer update which brings thirty new underwater levels.
Building upon the concept of gravity first introduced in Angry Birds Space, Rovio has now brought gravity-defying action to the Seasons. You can fling the birds underwater and, yes - pigs sink to the bottom of the ocean...
With Apple's next-generation iPhone a no show at San Francisco's WWDC conference, a new report from Apple's supply chain in Asia has emerged, claiming that silicon providers left and right are lining up to supply the California-based company with various chips for the next iPhone...
If you told me that you had an app that would improve the battery life of my iPhone, or other device, I'd probably laugh. How could third-party software, especially in Apple's walled garden, substantially affect battery life?
Well Carat, a new application by AMP Lab, is promising to do just that...
