So here’s some good news: The Chronic Dev Team has released the untethered jailbreak tools for all of the post-A4 Apple devices. That means your iPhone 4S, 2012 iPad, iPad 2 and other, older devices can be jailbroken without having to boot into “tethered” mode (connecting to your computer) every time you restart.
Apple’s wireless Bluetooth keyboard plays wonderfully with all of the company’s hardware, from laptops to iOS devices. But for whatever reason, Apple has limited its lovely aluminium remote to IR, so it won’t work with your iPhone or iPad. So Satechi has stepped in to save the lazy day.
It’s a little behind schedule, but Sony’s released an iOS app for its Music Unlimited service, expanding its range beyond Android and Sony’s own Bravia and Playstation devices.
The Meta Watch was designed with hopes of breaking the curse of consumer apathy when it comes to smart watches. An Android-friendly version has actually been available to developers since the middle of last year, but thanks to a Bluetooth update, it’s now compatible with iOS too. But is that enough to make you care?
With my loved ones long away from me, I have missed the ability to use my iPhone’s FaceTime over 3G a few times. Even if the quality would have been bad. Well, it seems that Apple may be testing it or getting ready for it, according to this screenshot.
Apple hasn’t really needed Google maps for a while now, but until now it’s continued to lean on the service to power iOS’s Maps app. 9to5mac is reporting that Apple will drop Google’s mapping service in iOS 6 in favour of an entirely in-house system.
Considering that the Notes and Reminders apps on iOS will soon appear on OS X Mountain Lion, it probably shouldn’t come as a huge shock that they’ll probably be part of iCloud’s suite of web apps. Today, the two utilities have popped up in screens for the beta version of iCloud, which nobody can seem to login to.
Ok, so packing two cameras onto a single phone to snap 3D pictures was kind of a bad idea. But what if you could just double the phone-count and do the same? The new SynchroCam app does just that.
iOS 5.1.1 is out now. While it’s mostly usability upgrades and bug fixes, you may as well upgrade if you can. As usual, the Redsn0w jailbreak tool is ready pretty much simultaneously, and Redmond Pie has a walkthrough for how to install it.
