iOS 4 brought multitasking, folders, unified inbox, threaded email conversations and note syncing to the iPhone. For these reasons, some people think that jailbreaking a device running iOS 4 is now pointless, considering that two of the biggest features of jailbreak (multitasking and folders) are now developed by Apple itself.
Did I jailbreak my iOS 4 iPhone 3GS? Yes. Do I think is still worth it? Yes.
9to5mac posted a video of Sky News, showing people in UK Apple Stores trying a white iPhone 4. Wasn’t it supposed to ship by second half of July? Could it be that some stores have already got demo units?
We’ve embedded the video after the break. If you’ve seen a white iPhone 4 too, please let us know in the comments.
iOS 4 was released 5 days ago, but that didn’t stop Cydia developers who immediately started working on compatibility fixes for their apps and tweaks. Yes, iOS 4 is jailbreakable, in case you’re still wondering.
iOS has come to unify Apple’s mobile space with a single name branding, but that could change to envelop the Mac OS X name-ology as Apple continues desktop development. MacRumors reports that Apple is considering rebranding OS X under the new iOS monicker, and that separate versions of the OS – for iPhone, for iPad, for Mac – could be considered as flavors.
So what’s happening to all those old iPhone 3G and 3GS models - are they ending up in landfills or are they finding an appropriate home? CNN Money’s Jennifer Lawinski reports that a ton of phones are finding their way to the secondhand phone market, where resellers like Gazelle, NextWorth, and CashforiPhones are having a field day with all these used devices.
Apple is estimated to have sold between 1 and 1.5 million iPhone 4s on launch day. You heard me right - between 1 and 1.5 million people waited in line just so they can say, “First!”
Expect a remix of Depeche Mode’s “Wrong” soon.
9to5mac posted a picture of an iPhone 4 with reversed volume buttons. The - button is on top and increases volume, + is below it and decreases it.
Have you got this problem too? I hope mine will be ok.
This has been the main topic on the internet all day: the iPhone 4 has reception issues. Many people are reporting that when holding the phone in the bottom-left corner, the signal drops. Bars go down, you get No Service on your iPhone.
We haven’t had the chance to test this issue (because we haven’t got an iPhone 4…yet) but we’ve read many reports of users either frustrated or surprised that they haven’t been able to replicate the issue.
Now the interesting part: Engadget has got an official statement from Apple, and published an email Steve Jobs sent to a new iPhone 4 customer.
