How to Update Your iPhone to iOS 4.1 Without Updating the Baseband

Sébastien Page ∙ October 11, 2010

This step by step guide/tutorial will show you how to update your iPhone 4 to iOS 4.1 while preserving the baseband. Because we will not update the baseband, you will still be able to run the latest iOS version available, you will be able to jailbreak using LimeRa1n, and you will be able to unlock your iPhone using UltraSn0w.

This method works for both Windows and Mac. It is pretty simple but it does require you to read the steps carefully. As usual when hacking your iPhone, you are proceeding at your own risks. This being said, this is how to upgrade to iOS 4.1 without upgrading the baseband...

Netflix iPhone App Now Gets Video Out

Guest Author ∙ October 4, 2010

The latest update for the Netflix iPhone app just hit the App Store. It now boasts video-out capabilities for the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4th generation. This update is huge for those of us who use out iDevice for everything.

I'm a little curious if this will make any difference in quality for those on the 3G/3GS using DisplayOut, TVOut2, or Resupported. Regardless, I'm excited to test out the new functionality, and may opt for some extension cables to make my iPhone AV cable reach the TV from the couch.

Angry Birds iPhone App Gets A Massive Update

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

I rarely if ever write about iPhone apps updates but today I felt compelled to do it for 2 reasons. One, Angry Birds is freaking awesome. Two, this game is a good example of what every iPhone developer should do.

Unless you've been under a rock for the last few months, you most likely have heard of Angry Birds, a game where you have to throw birds at evil pigs. Sounds terrible, doesn't it? It is however as addictive as heroin, so play with care...

Apple Releases iTunes 10.0.1 [Jailbreak Safe]

Sébastien Page ∙ September 25, 2010

Apple just released the first update to iTunes 10 with this version 10.0.1. This is a just a minor update that fixes the usual bugs but also brings Ping to the sidebar. The Ping Sidebar basically gives you a quick glance at your Ping activity. Nothing earth shattering here.

It's worth noting that iTunes 10.0.1 is safe for jailbroken iPhones. More info about the update below...

What Features Will Never Come to the iPhone?

Guest Author ∙ September 20, 2010

Reality can suck sometimes. As bad as the truth can be however it is usually almost always best to come to terms with certain aspects of reality. As far as this piece is concerned it's iPhone's reality.

We always spend lots of time trying to dig through the rumors when a new iPhone or version of iOS is released and pinpoint the newest features. What we spend comparatively less time on is coming clean on what features we know the iPhone will never get..

iPhone iOS 4.2 improving YouTube & CoreMIDI Support?

Guest Author ∙ Updated March 27, 2018

Every time there is an update in the iPhone's operating system the leaks start pouring in when the betas start getting passed out. This time with 4.2 it is no different. An improvement or adjustment I took notice in was the supposed tweaks to the YouTube experience and CoreMIDI support.

iLounge reports that the YouTube additions start and (apparently) end with adding of "Like" and "Dislike" buttons. If this is true it obviously offers no solace to those who've fallen in love with jailbreak app, YourTube 2...

How to Update Your iPhone to iOS 4.1 Without Updating the Baseband

Sébastien Page ∙ September 9, 2010

iOS 4.1 came out a couple days ago, and with it came a new baseband update, going from version 01.59.00 to 02.10.04. The baseband is a critical part of the iPhone unlock and UltraSn0w isn't currently compatible with baseband 02.10.04.

Many people are eager to update to iOS 4.1 and try the new features that come with it. Obviously if you rely on a jailbreak/unlock, you should hold on to it. If you don't care about unlocking options at the time but you think you might in the near future, then updating to iOS 4.1 while preserving your baseband is your best bet...

Sébastien Page ∙ September 1, 2010

iTunes 10 is finally available for download. As we reported this morning, not only iTunes 10 comes with a new logo, but it also brings a bunch of exciting new features, like Ping, a music social network.

As always when there is a new update, you should hold on to it if you are on an unlocked or jailbroken iPhone, at least until the Dev Team gives us the go.

iPad to Get iOS 4.2 in November

Sébastien Page ∙ September 1, 2010

I hope you're not holding your breath on multitasking and folders for iPad because according to Steve Jobs, it won't be available until November of this year.

When Apple introduced iOS 4, they made it clear that it wouldn't be available for iPad until "this fall", so technically we're on schedule. Still, I would have expected something sooner than that.

During a live event today, Steve Jobs made a demo of iOS 4.2 for iPad. It looks good but nothing groundbreaking.

Among the new features expected in iOS 4.2, we have:

Multitasking Folders Printing - on a wireless network AirPlay - streams content to the new Apple TV Game Center Better email - unified inbox, threaded emails And more...

Underwhelming?

iPhone Proximity Sensor & Other Features in iOS 4.1 Update?

Guest Author ∙ August 21, 2010

Earlier this Month the 3rd round of Beta was handed out to developers and the list of fixes doesn't technically include some of the biggest issues people have had with the iPhone's operating system. The proximity sensor or Bluetooth Connectivity don't make the list, but I have beliefs that Apple is working on them secretly to keep the issues asleep.

Neil Hughes from Apple Insider mentions increased performance in both of these important areas and points out a few obscure fixes as well. Steve Jobs said in July that the proximity sensor issue would be dealt with in an update but hasn't said a word about the topic since. Again I say to keep the issue quiet.
