iOS 5.1 Beta 3


Apple released iOS 5.1 Beta 2 on December 12 with Build number 9B5127a. The current beta now uses build number 9B5141a.


iOS 5.1 B3 OTA


iOS 5.1 beta 3 restores a sought after feature by many users, Enable 3G. The Enable 3G toggle allows users to completely shut off their cellular data, something that is currently unavailable. iOS users who use WiFi at work and home, experience heavy battery loss due to the fact that 3G and WiFi are running simultaneously. With this new feature, users can simply switch off 3G and use WiFi and can switch on WiFi just as easily. Apple noted under the toggle feature, that "3G offers faster data speeds but uses more battery power than EDGE".

iPhone4s


The ChronicDevTeam has a video showcasing an untethered jailbreak on an iPhone 4S, running on iOS 5.0.1.


The video seems real. We are demonstrated a reboot after which Cydia is still functional and last but not least we are shown the different antenna design and a running Siri version.


This sort of a jailbreak solution has been available on A4-powered iDevices but, up until now, it had its ups and downs on the A5-powered iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

 

Demo Below!

Apple OLED


A high-ranking source with a major electronics retailer has told TechnoBuffalo to expect the long-rumored Apple TV set this April, or possibly May at the latest. Speaking on conditions of anonymity, the source said they have seen "gorgeous, very thin" pre-production versions of the set in person, and that they employ OLED panels at various sizes up to 42-inches. If true, Apple set will debut as the largest OLED based HDTV on the consumer market. LG and Samsung debuted 55-inch OLED sets at CES earlier this month, but neither is set to launch as soon as April.


Apple TV


While there is no info if the set will be running its own version of iOS, we do know that will have deep integration with devices based on the popular operating system. The set will also sport Siri style voice controls as well as facial recognition software, and plans for the TV voice control system are said to far exceed what's currently in use on the iPhone 4S.

Anonymously uploading contact data to servers without the users permission is a common practice among a lot of popular apps such as Path, Instagram, Facebook, Foursquare... etc, which use this data to find other people you know who may also be using that service.


But even though Path later apologized and deleted the data from their servers, and also issued an update that explicitly asks for your permission before uploading your contacts, the issue continued to escalate until it eventually reached Apple. Apple announced that it improve iOS privacy so it will ask user permission to share contacts with Apps, Apple said:

 

"We are working to make this even better for our customers, and as we have done with location services, any app wishing to access contact data will require explicit user approval in a future software release."

Photo Spy


Another Day, Another iOS vulnerability, A security issue has been identified in iOS which gives 3d party applications and its developers secretly access to your photos without permissions.


According to The New York Times who uncovered this issue, an application that has the permission to use your location can also access your photos. They demonstrated this by commissioning a developer to create a dummy app (which was not submitted to the App Store) that popped up a notification asking the user for location (as seen above) and when provided had complete access to the photos stored on the device.


When contacted, Apple declined to comment about this issue.

iOS 5.1.1


Apple released iOS 5.1.1 today for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It is just a minor update that fix some previously reported bugs, The update didn't add any new feature but was carrying some Camera HRD enhancements to the iPhone 4s and the New iPad. Here is the change-log


iOS


As you can tell from the screenshot above, the update was also released as an OTA download for devices running iOS 5 and above and weighs in at just 54MB.



iOS 6

 

Apple iOS is still not fully into social sharing and SNS Integration, but sources are saying that the next version of iOS "iOS 6" is going to also bring an update to iCloud which will allow for user sharing of photos and videos. WSJ reported today that this functionality may be coming, at least according to "people familiar with the matter".

 

iCloud


The report says that iCloud will be adding the ability to share photos and videos with others via iCloud, and also allow for commenting on shared items, but it's still unclear, in the Upcoming iOS 6, if photos and videos would be able to be shared on Social Networks like Twitter, Facebook & Google+... You can ignore the last one though (Google+), it may never happen!

Apple 3D Maps iOS

Today, BGR has obtained screenshots of Apple's 3D maps app, which is expected to debut in iOS 6 and will presumably be announced at WWDC during the June 11th keynote address.


3d maps ios6


Lately, We reported that Apple is interested in creating their very own mapping solution for a while now with the success of Google's Android operating system Apple became concerned about how much they relied on Google's iOS apps for supplying basic features. Apple has always made the front end of the Maps app, but until now they've relied on the Google Maps backend for the data.



Skydrive app

 

Microsoft SkyDrive for Apple's iPad got bumped up to version 2.1. The App's update brings support for the Retina Display of the popular slate's latest incarnation.

You will now be able to open multimedia files from within the app at a rather eye-pleasing 264ppi.

Malware App

 

It is just that no platform is immune to hacker attacks and Apple's iOS is no exception. Take this report from Kaspersky as proof: "a malicious application has been discovered at the Apple App Store, supposedly the very first to be discovered there."

 

Malware app


Called "Find and Call", its purpose is to steal the user's address book and to send spam to their contacts in the form of a text message containing a link to the app's download page. And before Android fans hit the comments section, allow us to note that the same mischievous application has been found on the Google Play store as well.


Thankfully, the malware has been taken down already from both Google Play and the Apple App store. There are no reports of any major damage caused by it, and since the app was oriented towards Russian-speaking users, it is not likely that it has affected many outside of that part of the world. Besides, there were plenty of 1-star reviews submitted by those who downloaded it, which should have been enough to make potential victims aware of what the app truly does.

Sparrow CEO Dom Leca announced that they were acquired by Google. Sparrow's 3rd party email clients and apps are very popular on Apple's platforms, and were widely considered to be among the best email UIs available.


Sparrow will continue to be made available for the time being, and current customers will still be given support, but Leca indicated that there will be no new features added to the software from here on out. The good news is that this was a talent acquisition by Google, and Leca and his team will be joining Google's Gmail team to create more elegant and effective email UIs for Gmail, and to better tie together the Gmail experience across all of its many platforms.

It seems that Tim Cook may have looked around at services like Pandora, Slacker, or Spotify radio, and thought, "Apple could do that. We've got iTunes, so why not?" And, that's all it would take for the idea to start. Now, it looks like Apple may be about to launch its own streaming radio service.

As it seems most Apple leaks go, this information comes via the Wall Street Journal, which has broken far too many Apple news stories to be coincidence. At this point it feels like the WSJ is really part of the PR team with Apple, sending out interesting "leaked" info whenever the news turns too far towards competitors.

iPhone

 

One of the most important applications on the original iPhone was the Maps application that Steve Jobs demoed with a prank call to Starbucks (we added the crank call video below). But it has now come to light that about a month before the phone was announced, no such application even existed on the device.


According to a story by The New York Times, the maps application was not at all part of the original plans for the phone.

 

Steve Jobs thought of having the application on the phone just weeks before the announcement because he thought it would help show off the multi-touch display better.

 


iTunes 11


Today, after a serious delay, the iTunes 11 is finally ready to download. This New iTunes was suppose to be launched with the iOS 6.0.1 and the iPhone 5. Apple has a pretty long list of what's new in this version. There's even a promo video.

 

iTunes 11

 

iTunes 11 is quicker and smoother, it's got a simpler user interface with the navigation bar on the left gone. The iTunes store (accessible via the application itself) looks a lot nicer and generally, accessing it seems faster. In the past it has always been so darn slow.

itunes porn


Apple's iTunes store launched in Russia yesterday and this was huge news for Apple users in russia, but the launch was not without its flaws. The biggest flaw... When launching iTunes in Russia, Apple allegedly used the placeholder link xxx.xxx which turned out to be a real... porn site!

 

The porn bomb blew in the Russian iTunes more films in different languages section, where a giant banner of an "escort" service popped up and within minutes users on Twitter started posting pictures of the new Russian iTunes.

The store was down for a while and now the issue seems to be fixed, bringing back movies like Amelie instead of escort services.

Apple iOS6

 

When Steve Jobs first Introduced the iPhone in 2007, he said "Who needs a stylus ?... you gonna use your fingers". Well, Today Apple received a patent for a stylus technology called the "Active Stylus".


The "Active Stylus" is a stylus that does more than just help you input a touch on a screen. Your regular everyday stylus works by blocking electric lines. Instead of being passive, like the current stylus, Apple's tool would have the capability to create its own electronic field and couple signals with the main device.

 

active stylus

 

This could increase the speed and accuracy of the stylus and eliminate the lag that some S Pen users have complained about. Despite the lag, the S Pen has become extremely popular, so much so that speculation has Samsung including it with the Samsung Galaxy S IV. And we would say that the popularity of the S Pen comes from its ability to be more like a marker or a crayon rather than a touch input like Steve Jobs was thinking about when he dissed the stylus in 2007.

Android vs. iOS


According to a study by Crittercism on Android and iOS, both platforms have their share of apps that crash and it shows that iOS apps crash more often. The company which specializes in providing real-time crash reports for mobile apps evaluated reports over a period of one month and found that iOS apps crash quite a lot more than their Android counterparts.


Report


In the first of the three quartiles we got data for, iOS apps crashed after 0.51% of all launches, whereas Android apps only crashed in 0.15%. In the second quartile the picture is similar with iOS apps crashing in 1.47% of the cases, whereas Android apps did so 0.73% of the time. Things are much closer in the third quartile 2.97% crashes for Android vs 3.66% for iOS.


iOS and Android All versions


Crittercism even gave us a detailed breakdown of the most problematic releases by OS. As it turns out, iOS 5.0.1 generates more than a third of all iOS crashes 33.93%, while iOS 4.3.5 is the second most problematic with 10.62%. That sounds quite believable as these two software versions are the two latest releases of iOS4 and iOS5.

Today Google is officially announcing the Chrome browser for the iPhone and iPad. There had been some question as to whether or not Google would bring their popular browser to iOS, since they would be unable to implement some of their secret sauce, like their customer javascript engine.

It appears that Google does indeed want to bring Chrome to your iOS devices, and they demonstrated what they expect will be their killer feature the ability to sync across devices.

The iOS version was updated yesterday to version 2.5, and today the much younger Android variant received most of the same features as it reached version 1.1.4.

The big question for many users is, has Facebook sunk its claws into Instagram in a way that will hurt the user experience? After all, they presumably didn't drop a billion dollars just for kicks. The answer to that is sort of the updates introduce a Facebook heart feature that you tap on to show you like it. By default this only shows up for other Instagram users, but in the options menu you can choose to share your likes to Facebook automatically.
