When Apple dropped iOS 5.0.1 yesterday, the hope amongst many was that it may help to fix the battery issue that was introduced with iOS 5.0.
It is becoming apparent that iOS 5.0.1 may not have actually fixed the battery bug we told you about before, with our own location-based fix still appearing to be the best way of saving precious battery life...
Ever since jailbreaking began with the original iPhone, Apple has opposed it. Even with all the community has done for iOS, the Cupertino company has continued to fight the process by frequently updating its mobile software with exploit patches.
Given this information, it would seem impossible for anyone to believe that Apple would actually allow a jailbreak utility into its App Store. But apparently it's not. Several folks seem to have fallen for the hoax, and their pockets are lighter because of it...
Apple released iOS 5.0.1 to the public today, and with it comes the need to jailbreak. Fortunately, we've got that need covered using the latest version of RedSn0w 0.9.9b8.
Keep in mind that many are warning those wishing to jailbreak to stay away from iOS 5.0.1 — especially iPhone 4S owners and those who have no way to downgrade firmware back to a prior version.
This is a tethered jailbreak, so those wanting untethered only need not apply. But if you're happy to use tethered to hold you over until then and if you've read all of the warning labels, check out our video tutorial that shows your how to jailbreak iOS 5.0.1 inside...
Apparently I'm not alone in my thoughts about Apple's stock weather theme for Notification Center — it's a bit lacking in style.
NC weather widgets is a jailbreak tweak that adds custom Notification Center themes to iOS 5 via WinterBoard with just a few steps.
Step right inside to see how the improved weather icons look like on video...
After multiple developer betas, and a series of customer tests, Apple has finally released iOS 5.0.1 to the masses. The update comes just under a month after Apple released iOS 5.0, which included over 200 new features.
Unfortunately, iOS 5 brought with it serious battery problems. And after weeks of complaints, Apple gave an official statement last week that confirmed both the presence of the bugs and the existence of a fix...
The iPhone's camera is becoming so good that you can arguably do without a 'real' camera these days. Packing a 8 megapixel camera, the iPhone 4S outperforms most point-and-shoot cameras, and it also kicks out some impressive 1080p video.
Unfortunately, your iPhone can't track your movements, all the while keeping you perfectly framed.
With Swivl, any iPhone can be turned into an auto-tracking camera, and it looks great...
An interesting story in The Telegraph this morning features the voiceover artist behind the British version of Siri. The actor was recently contacted by Apple and told to not talk publicly about Siri, but the real kicker is that he didn't know that he was the voice of Siri in the first place!
In an interview with the actor, Jon Briggs, you get a look into the world of voiceover recordings and some of the history behind how Siri's voices came to be.
It's easy to venture into Cydia and download your favorite apps and tweaks, but what if you want to save the files that you download for backup or later use?
There are tools like PKGBackup that save the links to the apps and tweaks that you have on your device, but it's not as straightforward to backup and save the actual .deb files responsible for installing the packages that we use.
What to do? In the following video tutorial, I'll show you how to easily download deb files using OpenSSH and a handy FTP client...
In the months leading up to Apple's iPhone 4S announcement, the rumor mill had T-Mobile pegged as getting the handset. And with the country's number three carrier slated to receive the device, it made sense that number 4 would as well.
But on October 4, when Apple unveiled its latest smartphone, there was no mention of the operator. It isn't that T-Mobile isn't interested in carrying the smartphone, it's that Apple has yet to extend the offer. And the carrier will bleed customers because of it...
If you're a jailbreaker, then you realize how important OpenSSH is to the jailbreak community and you likely use it often.
But if you're new to the world of jailbreaking, you might not see the benefit right off hand.
This video tutorial not only shows you how to install OpenSSH onto your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but why it's beneficial as well...
There's no doubt that Apple's mobile operating system is becoming a major gaming platform. Yesterday, we pointed to a report that forecasted gaming revenues from iOS and Android to exceed that of the handheld divisions of both Nintendo and Sony.
Every major gaming platform has to have at least one standout title, and for iOS, that might just be Infinity Blade. With its sharp graphics and epic gameplay, the original version of the game raked in $1.6 million dollars in just 5 days. And now it's time for round two...
On paper, pico projectors seem like the perfect smartphone accessory. Even handsets with 4-inch displays prove to be a bit small when sharing media with multiple people, so a miniature portable projector makes sense.
But who wants to lug around an extra device? Isn't that a major reason people own smartphones — so they don't have to carry around multiple gadgets? Popular retailer Brookstone looks to solve this dilemma with its new Pocket Projector...
