iPhone 5 Jailbreak is here

iOS 6 users have been waiting for an untethered jailbreak for some time now, but it seems that there’s finally a set date for it. A hacker by the name of “Dream JB” has announced that he’ll be releasing an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.0.1 on December 22, and it will be compatible with newer iOS devices like the iPhone 5, iPad mini, the 4th-gen iPad, and the new iPod Touch.

However, what’s mysterious about this whole thing is that the jailbreak won’t come from the iPhone-Dev Team, which has been the go-to hacker team for iOS jailbreaks in the past. Instead, it comes from this new guy, Dream JB.

if you are skeptical about this, Dream JB has promised that he’ll post up a video proving that the untethered iOS 6 jailbreak is real. “the video will be a single-take shot of the entire jailbreak process, including a restart and usage of the device to prove it is untethered.” - Dream JB

You can follow DreamJB on his twitter page for any questions.

Apple iPad Mini and iPad 4 delivery delays

According to reports, delivery on white and silver versions of the iPad Mini are subject to delays, as are Wi-Fi only versions of the model. These are expected to ship in two weeks from now, as opposed to 2 November.

However, black and slate models in both 32GB (£349) and 64GB (£429) sizes are said to be on track for 2 November.

Those users who are looking for iPad Mini or iPad 4 with cellular data, i.e. with 4G, will have to wait until ‘late November’. iPad 4, or iPad with Retina display, models are unaffected so far.

Reviews of the iPad Mini have said that its A5 processor-powered apps, games and websites run along ‘very smoothly’, while also praising features such as the iPad Mini LED-backlit screen, which help to ensure that “colours are vivid, text is pin sharp,[and] web pages render quickly”.


In a recent statement EE, which is set to roll out 4G in the UK next week, gave the fourth-generation iPad the thumbs up.

It said that the Apple-designed A6X chip offers “blazing fast performance” while its Retina display was “gorgeous”.

The fact that EE is set to offer a “range of attractive data plans” for the iPad Mini and iPad 4, could help sales of the iPad Mini could reach between 4 and 6 million by the end of the year – as some analysts have predicted.

What we learned from the iPad mini event launch

The iPad Mini
The Apple iPad mini fits in one hand. So said Tim Cook and so shows the publicity pictures of a hand, holding the iPad mini within its tight grasp.

With a 7.9inch screen on the diagonal, it’s got more display room than its biggest rival the Google Nexus 7 and other seven inch tablets – 35% more say Apple. But it costs more too, £60 extra for the comparable 16GB device, which is priced at £259 for the iPad mini against £199 for the Nexus 7.

No Retina Display

It is spec’d up to the max. With the same 10 hours of battery life as the iPad, it also has a Multi-Touch display, a front FaceTime HD camera and a 5 megapixel iSight camera that shoots 1080p HD video, iOS 6 software, 275,000 apps designed especially for iPad and the same A5 processing chip that was found in the iPad 2.It has a slightly new design and is just 7.2mm thin and weighs only 0.68 pounds. But there is no Retina Display as on the current iPad and the new fourth-gen one.

The iPad 4

The shock of the night was the announcing the launch of the fourth generation iPad, barely six months after the third version came out.

It now has a faster A6X processor, with double the performance, and crucially will work with EE’s 4G service.There’s also the FaceTime HD camera and Apple’s new Lightning power connector, first shown off on the iPhone 5 and new range of iPods. It starts at £399 for the 16GB version.

Ultra-thin iMacs

One of the biggest and most excited gasps of the night came as Apple revealed re-designed iMac machines.

With the disc drive removed, it has allowed its designers to create a machine with an ultra-thin screen – just 5mm at the edge and 40% thinner than the previous versions.

Featuring the latest Intel quad-core i5 or i7 processors, everything inside has been overhauled with a display that reduces reflection by 75% and NVIDIA graphics cards that are 60% faster – along with 8GB of RAM and a massive 1TB hard drive as standard.You can even specially order machines with 768GB of super fast and reliable flash storage. Prices start at £1099.

Mac Mini

Apple’s Mac mini range was also not forgotten. They now have the latest i5 and i7 processors and 65% faster integrated graphics.

There are also four USB 3.0 ports and Thunderbolt and HDMI. Prices start at £499 for a machine with 4GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive.

13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display

The other big news of the night, aside from the iPad mini, was the expected unveiling of a 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Now 20% thinner and a pound lighter than the current generation, they come with flash storage as standard for faster performance. Having the same kind of display as the iPad and iPhone means an intense graphical experience and nearly twice the number of pixels on board than found in an HD TV.

That’s also four times as many as in the former 13 inch MacBook Pro. Prices start at £1449 for a dual-core i5 model with 8GB of memory and 128GB of flash storage.

iBooks and Author

Apple has also updated its iBooks Author software which lets anyone create eBooks and textbooks, now offering more designs, fonts, diagrams and video.
