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.
Our friends at The Loop found a pretty interesting survey that finds 34 per cent of all iPhone owners think their phones have 4G. Of course, the actual number of people with 4G iPhones is zero.
You think you’re a real smooth criminal, don’t you, using the Cydia app MyWi to tether your jailbroken iPhone free of charge? Well, it looks like your joy ride might be over. AT&T has apparently been sending MyFi users texts telling them to pay up or fall back:
AT&T’s got new data plans to go with the wireless hotspot feature debuting in its first 4G Android phones – which they’re “working with Apple to bring it to iPhone” – and they’re actually a better deal than before.
Ultrasn0w, the iPhone Dev Team’s iOS unlocking tool, was broken recently by Apple’s “aggressive compiler optimization.” Whatever. It works again, sort of, but only for iPhone 3G and 3GS. The iPhone 4 uses a different baseband so that version will have to wait. [iPhone Dev Team via BGR]
Apple artificially limits the use of Facetime – their video conferencing software for the iPhone 4 – to Wi-Fi use. Good thing we have independent developers to make it work under 3G too. This is how to do it:
JailbreakMe 2.0, a browser-based jailbreak app for iPhones and iPads, has just gone live and pretty much opens up any iOS device you have handy, all the way back to the iPhone 3G.
