The images show a tapered edge design similar to the leaked case designs, though it’s not exact. This “iPhone 5″ doesn’t have the mute switch moved to the opposite side as seen on the case designs. It also retains the usual look of the (more…)

Maybe the “4” in the iPhone 4 name gives iPhone owners (34%) the false impression that they already own a 4G phone but the fact is Apple doesn’t offer a 4G phone at the moment. Coincidentally, a suspiciously large percentage of Android and BlackBerry owners may be suffering from the (more…)

In case of Redsn0w, the trick is to point it to iOS 4.3.1 when it prompts you to select the corresponding firmware file instead of iOS 4.3.2. It looks like PwnageTool 4.3 that was released for iOS 4.3.1 can be used to create custom iOS 4.3.2 firmware file.

Today Apple released to developers the GM seed for 4.2. Tinkerers will find that yesterday’s redsn0w jailbreaks today’s 4.2 GM seed, simply by pointing redsn0w at the 4.1 IPSW (rather than the 4.2 one). Right now it mostly only makes sense for JB app developers to do that because many apps (including Cydia itself) need to be updated for 4.2. However, if all you want to do is enable afc2 (to use iFunBox or other file browsers), or to tweak settings (more…)

iPhone hacking experts planetbeing, chpwn and MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team have managed to get root access on iPhone 4 using comex’s userland jailbreak.
Think I’m the first one I know about to get a root shell (and SSH) on iPhone 4, using poor @comex’s code (since he has no iPhone 4)
