No Jailbreaking and Jailbreaks App Store on iOS 5

An interesting debate is going on the Internet and jailbreak community right now. A rumor says that Apple is going to end jailbreaking and jailbreak community with the announcement of iOS 5. We decided to share what we think about this. Technically its not possible and seems like its just a rumor.

 On the other hand, Apple is expected to bring a lot of cool features in the upcoming iOS 5 that were previously only available when you use Cydia tweaks and application. Of course they can not bring all of them but imagine if the most common jailbreak app functionalities to be already there in the iOS 5 ? Will you still jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or  iPod Touch device ?? Are you still going to love Cydia ?

Revamped Notifications, voicemail to text, new widget system, more network carriers (unlocked on many carriers), over the air auto updates, expose style iOS multi tasking etc etc. are the expected features in the upcoming iOS 5. Seems like there is a lot more than we are expecting. Imagine if they have implemented 25 of the most famous functionalities in iOS 5 that are currently present only in thejailbreak  app store Cydia ?? So are you going to ditch jailbreaking ??

Samsung Asks Apple To See iPhone 5 and iPad 2 Protypes

Last month, Apple filed suit against Samsung, claiming patent and trademark infringement from Samsung having allegedly copied Apple's "technology, user interface and innovative style" in its Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets.

Courthouse News Service now reports that a federal judge has given Samsung 30 days in which to provide Apple with samples of a number of unreleased hardware models in order to assist Apple with determining whether it would like to request an early injunction to halt the claimed infringement.

Samsung Electronics was told Wednesday to fork over five of its not-yet-released mobile phones to Apple. Sitting in Federal Court in San Jose, Judge Lucy Koh ruled that Apple deserves the quick production of cell phone samples three months earlier than usual in the litigation process, though she drew the line at requiring testimony from Samsung executives.

"Apple has demonstrated good cause for some, limited expedited discovery," said Koh. "While Apple has not yet filed a motion for preliminary injunction, courts have found that expedited discovery may be justified to allow a plaintiff to determine whether to seek an early injunction," said Koh.

The Samsung models in question include the Galaxy S2, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Infuse 4G, and Droid Charge.

While the models have yet to be officially released to the public and Samsung has argued that examination of production samples that may not necessarily reflect final shipping versions is inappropriate, Koh noted that the argument is undermined by Samsung's publicity efforts that have seen images and even demo units handed out to members of the media. In one noteworthy example, 5,000 Galaxy Tab 10.1s were given away to attendees at the Google I/O conference earlier this month.

iOS 5 Another Notification System [Video]

At WWDC we may see iOS 5, with a complete rework of the existing iOS notification system, as well as widgets.

It might be possible that there is coming new release of iOS and Mac OS Lion, but I think saying that there is coming a new iPhone and it will be named iPhone 4S is something unexpected.

But lets come back to the notification system. iOS 5 notification system should look then like a Cydia Tweak called LockInfo or Intelliscreen. 

It will bring together Spotlight and your push notifications. You will also be able to but Widgets on your sites or in folders.

iOS 5 still Powered with Google Maps

9To5Google reports that Google Maps will still be present in iOS. Apple’s efforts in breaking geo-localization ties with Google have yet to produce a working product.

“Sources have told 9To5Google that although Apple is working to improve the iOS Maps application, iOS 5 will not bring an Apple developed maps service and Google Maps is still in.”

The muse that Apple has been building their own maps service to replace Google Maps started a long time ago. In July 2009, Apple surprised us by acquiring Placebase, their first mapping company. One year later, after hearing nothing from Apple regarding the development of their own maps service, Apple purchased a second mapping firm, Poly9.

Back in March, it seemed that Apple was getting serious about this speculate ‘Apple Maps.’ They advertised job listings for map engineers and navigation experts to take Maps for iOS “to the next level.” Apple recently mentioned in their location tracking Q&A that they

“are now collecting anonymous traffic data to build a crowd-sourced traffic database with the goal of providing iPhone users an improved traffic service in the next couple of years.”

The WWDC is coming up in a few days, and Apple is gathering the worlds most prominent journalists for an event they know will be big. There so much speculation about going on about what Apple will announce at the WWDC, but the truth is we won’t know for sure until the conference is over. This year, the conference is going to be all about the software- massive OS X and iOS updates are due.

In addition to the Maps Service, Apple could announce three other major iOS improvements, or additions : a cloud locker which will include an online music streaming service, a fully revamped notification system, and some sort of voice recognition integration. Apple has been seriously active in the development of all three features for a long time.

[WARNING] Dont Trust Scams Claiming iPhone 5 Launch

Scams are spreading like the wildfire via emails. Many readers are claiming that they are receiving fraudulent emails that look a lot like official Apple emails. These emails are structured like Apple's promotional offers, that tries to lure unsuspecting customers by getting their Apple's account details.

Sample of these Fake emails

Reports of compromised App Store and Apple ID accounts have generated a lot of press in the past due to the scale of the iTunes Stores. It was believed that account details were stolen using these sort of techniques rather than any sort of vulnerability in iTunes itself.

64GB iPhone 4 To Be Released Soon?

According to a tip received by the folks over at Thisismynext, Apple may release a 64GB iPhone 4 in the summer. We had heard rumors about the 64GB iPhone 4 when the iPhone 4 was originally launched, but a 64GB variant was never released. However, according to this recent development, a 64GB iPhone 4 release may be possible soon enough.

A third party Verizon reseller called Russell Cellular has circulated a memo in which a 64GB iPhone 4 is mentioned. Now it could have merely been a typing mistake, but the source thinks otherwise.

Apple wouldn't have to go through much hassle in order to produce a 64GB iPhone 4, as a 64GB iPod touch 4G already exists in the market. One of the reasons why Apple may release an iPhone with 64GB of storage capacity may be because there is no confirmed launch date as yet of the next-generation iPhone. Some say that the next iPhone won't be released as late as 2012, so its only logical for Apple to offer a refreshed version of its signature smartphone to iPhone lovers this summer.

We've also heard reports about some rather secretive happenings at Apple Retail Stores. Could Apple be announcing a 64GB iPhone 4 in its 10th anniversary of Apple Retail? That, time will tell.

Apple Would Be Giving With 4 Majors: Music Incoming Service Cloud

CNet published some reports that Apple would have almost completed arrangements with the top four majors in order to launch the new service expected of Cloud Music .

Apple is working hard these days to obtain the necessary arrangements to start the service, it would have almost reached the final signature with the top four record companies.

Both Amazon that Google recently launched services Cloud Music and Apple does not want to lose a significant slice of the market in favor of competition.Soon we shall probably have the ability to stream a lot of music also by IOS.

Apple Planning for Something Big on 10th Retail Anniversary ?

According to BGR -which has a good track on Apple iOS rumors- that they received some information from a solid Apple source, which claimed that Apple may be planning for something huge for its 10th retail anniversary by next Thursday May 19th. Let's check out details after the jump.

• There’s an overnight shift planned for around 10-15 individuals at each Apple Store to work from late Saturday all the way through mid-Sunday.
• During the overnight shift, it’s going to be required that employees lock cell phones in the main office. They will also have to sign an NDA with Apple.
• There are a wide variety of roles, we’re told, for the overnight shift. This includes all visuals staff, a manager, a business team member, a few Genius team members, one back-of-house employee, and a few generic Apple specialists.
• Apple stores have apparently already received hardware to install, and are expecting more hardware to come on Friday or Saturday. All materials that Apple stores have received have been instructed to be under lock and key until after close on Saturday night.
• Apple employees will be putting up black curtains at all stores so that people walking outside cannot see inside.
• Employees have had to download gigabytes of data from Apple corporate labeled, “training” in a password-protected zipped folder that won’t accessible to managers or anyone else until Saturday afternoon.
• Lastly, all Apple retail stores have mandatory meetings on Sunday, May 22nd. Most meeting are scheduled for the morning, but there are evening meetings as well.

What are your expectations about Apple's surprise ? Do you think this will be really big ? Do you think this will be a major product release ? Let's wait and see.

iPhone 5 Expected Release Date [21st November]

I have caught the hotest rumor regarding iPhone 5. According to T3, that iPhone 5 is expected to hit sotres across the UK on November 21st.

 

Source of this rumor is a representative of retailer Phones4U :

Speaking exclusively with T3.com, a customer sales representative at the St Albans branch of Phones4u has confirmed that the "iPhone 5 has been delayed until November following an issue with the handset's software."

Most recent rumors talked about expected release date of iPhone 5 pointed to last quarter of the current year, so we can say that this is reasonable expectation, but I don't think that such level of information could come from such representative. Anyway this is good news.

iPhone Coming to Sprint ?

As noted by Stop it, At&T, that Apple has posted a job listing seeking for a "Carrier Engineer" located in the Kansas City, Missouri area specially to be involved with carriers on technical issues.

Member of the Carrier Engineering team that supports taking products through technical approval at the carriers. A Carrier Engineer team is responsible for day-to-day technical interactions with the one or more carriers to track down issues reported by the carrier, assist the carrier with testing they might be conducting and working with program management, software development and test teams to get products approved by the carriers.

While Kansas City is not a staffing location for Apple's engineers, we can speculate that the position is related to work with Sprint for porting iPhone, as its headquarters in the Kansas City.

I0n1c: The Next Could Be Charged For Jailbreak

"After several years of research, anyone would understand that it would be pointless to grant bug free" . With these words, blunt and probably sincere, I0n1c, author of the exploit used in the latest versions of Redsn0w, PwnageTool and Sn0wbreeze iOS to run the jailbreak on 4.3.1 and higher, suggesting that its next tools may only be distributed paid or otherwise subject to the same donation to the author.

News that if it is confirmed - as it seems from the initial responses of authoritative figures such as the scene of the jailbreak Veeence - could be a real problem for the entire community interest in this type of procedure. However, this stance seems to have been taken only by I0n1c, not many teams from other hackers.

iPhone 5 Front / Rear Camera Parts Leaked - Relocate Camera Flash

The series of iPhone 5 rumors continue. According to Apple Pro which considered as a trusted-source and has a good track regarding Apple rumors, that Apple repositioning the iPhone LED flash to the top-right site of iPhone 4S / 5. 

The below leaked image shows iPhone 5's front-facing camera sensor and rear-camera sensor.

Front-facing camera:

The above image shows that iPhone 5's front-facing camera piece is re-designed, nothing more to tell.

Rear-facing camera:

The back camera sensor also appears to have a re-design but is lacking two critical elements from the iPhone 4′s piece: the LED camera flash and the piece that blocks camera/flash interference. This works perfectly with the apparent fifth-generation iPhone case leak from today – and it seems possible that Apple is actually relocating the iPhone’s camera flash for their next iPhone.

iPhone 5G Case Design

According to Macrumors that the case features will be a very thin bezel and a distinct camera design, And the flash actually seems to be on the other side of the camera, compared to the iPhone 4 which features it right next to the camera. The next iPhone has been rumored to feature only littel changes, and should be announced  in September.

A new case design found on Alibaba claims to be the next iPhone, or "iPhone 5G."
