New Exploit for Untethered Jailbreak of iOS 4.3 Will Be Released Next Week

Posted: 25 Feb 2011 12:17 AM PST

iPhone hacker Stefan Esser has claimed that he has a new exploit for Jailbreaking iOS 4.3 untethered which will ultimately lead to the unlocking of the device on iOS 4.3.

I heard @securetips will release a iOS 4.3 untether exploit after next weekend. Follow him for news.

@bojill @securetips is an anonymous hacker who works for Apple, go figure…

It shows that the Jailbreak for iOS 4.3 would be released before or right after its official release from Apple.

According to Stefan Esser, SecureTips would be an anonymous hacker who works for Apple . Therefore it is easy to assume that the person in question has already been able to thoroughly study the new firmware 4.3 which will be released later this month we remember, so having a way to work on new vulnerabilities that allow even the jailbreak of the upcoming version of iOS.

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 11:48 PM PST

According to BGR, Apple has finalized the code of iOS 4.3 internally for iPhone, iPod, iPad, AppleTV and iPad 2. The announcement is expected in the March 2nd iPad event. The build number for iOS 4.3 is 8F190.

One of our Apple sources has just informed us that it looks like Apple has finalized the code for its upcoming iOS 4.3 release. The build, we're told, is 8F190 for those keeping track. Maybe we'll see this release unify the Verizon iPhone OS-wise as well? We'll probably see this in the wild next week if we had to bet…

In addition to bug fixes and performance improvements, iOS 4.3 will also bring some new features like personal WiFi hotspot, enhanced support for AirPlay video streaming etc.

iOS 4.3 final version will also include the patches for all existing jailbreak exploits. So if you rely on unlock or want to keep your iPhone/iPad jailbroken, don't upgrade your device to this version until iPhone Dev Team or Chronic Dev Team comes up with new working jailbreak.

Apple Removes MobileMe

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 11:38 PM PST

Apple removes MobileMe from online store and discontinues retail boxes.MobileMe is End of Life and Apple notified resellers that once their current inventory of boxed copies is depleted they won't be able order any more……

MobileMe single license and family pack are no longer available on Apple’s online store. In addition, resellers have indicated to AppleInsider that both the MobileMe Single User product (identified as MC660Z/A) and Family Pack (MC661Z/A) have been declared “End of Life” by Apple.Apple notified resellers that it has discontinued the retail box version of MobileMe, shifting entirely to digital sales. Existing stocks of boxed MobileMe can continue to be sold while their supplies last.Users of MobileMe were also notified of scheduled maintenance for the me.com website. The service’s Web-based applications may not be accessible to some users for about a half-hour tonight, after which normal service is expected to be restored.Since the boxed MobileMe products contain only an activation code and promotional materials, the offering of a physical MobileMe product has primarily been used to provide in-store visibility for the service.

The changes come as Apple is rumored to be revamping the MobileMe service and is also said to be considering making the product free. The New York Times reported this month that Apple plans to turn MobileMe into a free service that would serve as a digital locker where users could store photos, music and videos.Consequently, the discontinuation of boxed MobileMe products could be paving the way for a sell-off of existing stock and a brief period of digital-only sales before transitioning to a free service.Apple‘s North Carolina data center has been the subject of considerable speculation regarding potential cloud-based offerings. Apple acknowledged atshareholder meeting that the center is not yet open, but should be opening soon to support MobileMe and iTunes. Five times larger than Apple’s existing primary data center in Newark, California, the North Carolina center will offer significantly expanded infrastructure for the company.

Apple has been rumored to be pursuing a cloud-based iTunes service, particularly for music streaming, for years. The Times said that such a move would negate the need for a large amount of local storage on mobile devices like the iPhone.Apple also appears to have entirely removed MobileMe from its online store, both as a standalone product and as bundled with new Macs. Apple had previously offered a $30 discount on MobileMe when purchased with a new Mac, but that offer is no longer available.Apple continues to offer a 60-day free trial of MobileMe, but given that it has just become substantially more difficult to actually purchase MobileMe directly from Apple, it appears that Apple may indeed be shifting it to a free service sometime within the next two months.Apple executives revealed at the company’s annual shareholder meeting that its massive $1 billion data center in North Carolina is set to open this spring. The usually tight-lipped company also let slip that the data center will be used to support iTunes and MobileMe.

Report: Early Preview of iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch on March 2nd

Posted: 24 Feb 2011 11:35 PM PST

According to a report by Engadget, Early preview of iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch is expected to launch on Wednesday, March 2nd at iPad press event at the famous Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.

No such feature or anything special has been revealed about iOS 5 yet but a new revamped notification system is expected to announce.

It's also almost guaranteed that we'll see the next version of iOS (number 5 in all likelihood, along with its SDK for devs), and an expansion of Apple's cloud services (that part is a little… foggy right now). Of course, that will perfectly set up Apple's announcement of the iPhone 5 in June, which is when iPad owners can likely expect to be using the new software. Regardless, we'll have the goods come next week, so stay tuned!

Apple is expected to release iOS 5 with the next-gen iPhone 5 in summer this year.

The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is available in two models: one with a 2.0 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon HD 6490M and 500GB hard drive starting at $1,799 and one with a 2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon HD 6750M and 750GB hard drive starting at $2,199. The new 17-inch MacBook Pro features a 2.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon HD 6750M and 750GB hard drive and is priced at $2,499.

Apple did give engadget a quick demo on the new system with a prototype Promise RAID unit and a stock Cinema Display connected over Thunderbolt.Thunderbolt just uses a Mini DisplayPort connector, so displays can be daisy-chained right in. Apple’s demo was a variation of the same thing Intel’s been doing for a while  they played four uncompressed HD video streams off the RAID simultaneously, which pegged the Thunderbolt throughput meter at 600-700MBps. Apple also told that Thunderbolt is running on copper and not optical cables (like the Light Peak protoypes) so that it can support bus-powered devices there’s 10 watts of power available on the bus, up slightly from FireWire‘s 8 watts. Up to six devices can be daisy-chained from one port, and since Thunderbolt is based on PCI Express, it can even support FireWire and USB adapters.
