You could see the writing on the wall when Apple announced iPhone OS 4. Apple said most of the features will run on the iPhone 3G, and all would run on the iPhone 3GS. At no point did they mention the first generation iPhone. Steve Jobs has now confirmed what many assumed. Read more…

Let me start off by saying that these have been some of the wildest and craziest months I could possibly imagine. So many new things have happened; I’m really not sure where to begin. But I think I’ll start by clearing up a couple of common questions and misunderstandings. Read more…
As expected, Apple didn’t introduce any new iPhone hardware today; knowing Steve Jobs & co., they still want to save some surprises when they unveil the 4G iPhone later this summer. Could one of those surprises be a front-facing camera with iChat support? Read more…
This is very smooth and with all of the new features coming on OS 4.0 this is going to make our iphone run a lot smoother since we will be using native apple programming such as homescreen background wallpaper, multitasking, folders, multiple exchange accounts. The list can go on forever but here is a quick list on what apple’s OS 4.0 software will be replacing for us jailbreakers.
Backgrounder – Replaced by native Apple multitasking
Categories/Stacks – Replaced by native Apple Folders
Multiexchange Cydia – Native Apple unified mailbox with multiple exchange accounts.
With all deference to the Violent Femmes, there’s nothing upbeat about the cases of overheating that some iPad users are facing in the early days with the device. We’ve heard directly from two readers about the dreaded ‘iPad needs to cool down before you can use it’ message; Henry in Colorado and John in Tampa Bay both reported that their units went into thermal standby after being used outside. John noted that his iPad was in the (black, heat-collecting) Apple case… perhaps there’s a market for reflective or liquid-cooled models. Read more…
Well, we didn’t really expect this to come so soon after the iPad release, but sure enough, Apple is going to show us the iPhone 4.0 this Thursday. That doesn’t give us a lot of time for speculation, but I’m sure we’ll squeeze it in. As per our reader expectations, various rumors and leaks, and other random news and scuttlebutt, what can we expect to see in a new iPhone OS? Read more…
Apple is sending out invites “for a sneak peek of the next generation of iPhone OS software” on April 8 at 10AM Pacific.
It’s been rumored that the new OS will support Expose-like multi-tasking…
Those familiar with the design of iPhone 4.0 said that the user interface will resemble Apple’s desktop Expose feature, in that a key combination — reportedly hitting the Home button twice — will trigger an expose-like interface that brings up a series of icons representing the currently running apps, allowing users to quickly select the one they want to switch to directly. When a selection is made, the iPhone OS zooms out of the Expose task manager and transitions to that app.

A couple of months form now, it will be 1 year since the iPhone 3Gs was introduced to the public. If Apple follows their usual refresh pattern, soon, we will see… not one but two iPhones according to WSJ. Engadget is reporting that the next-generation iPhone would be announced on June 22nd (a Tuesday, naturally) and would be dubbed the iPhone HD (a name that has been tossed around before). Read more…
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple is working on a new iPhone to debut in the summer and a second model for Verizon Wireless.
The people briefed on the matter said one of the new iPhones is being manufactured by Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which produced Apple’s previous iPhones. Read more…
Geo Hot’s Response : “Welcome to proper challenge response, guess someone at Apple finally read a book on security. At least it’s not in the bootroms yet.”
The firmwareumbrella published in his blog that he found a new key named APTicket that might be a means for Apple to stop us jailbreakers from restoring to versions of firmwares that are not signed anymore.
This would mean Apple would get complete control over what you restore and when you restore it. While jailbroken devices are able to accept custom firmwares, the new bootroom 3gs and the ipt3g and MC can’t Read more…
