When will Apple release iPhone 5 and iOS 5 ?

Apple’s new version of iOS will probably be not available before the fall. But on the other side this surely wont delay traditional release of new iPhone model every summer. Some analysts even claim that a new iPad would be available next fall.

Until now Apple had usually presented their new iOS during early spring in order to give software developers enough time to work on their apps and prepare them for the iOS launch in summer. So far Apple has not followed this pattern and there are no reliable news about iOS 5 so far.

iOS 4.3 for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 released!

Apple has just released th 4.3.1 iOS update. This update is made for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and as we previously wrote it is mainly a bug solving upgrade. How can you upgrade if you cant wait to do so? Quite easy, just fire up your iTunes ( check that it is upgraded to latest version itself) then click Check Updates and you are done!

So this update is unfortunately not eligible for iPhone 3G as its hardware would be to slow for this iOS version (many users claim so since after the introduction of 4.x iOS). It also isn’t meant for Verizon iPhone 4.

sim iphone unlock review

During the last two years no significant sim unlocks were made by manufacturers available to the unlocker community. Even the manufacturers themselves concluded that the sim unlock is not attractive to most users. This is the reason why most of the analysts were confused by the recent announcement that Gevey sim has an unlock solution for iPhone 4.

The main reason Gevey did not publicize earlier their solution were quite logical as the cost of producing the sim card are initially quit high and they obviously were worried that any software unlock made by iPhone Dev team or some other group would make their product obsolete causing them significant financial loses. The exploit which Gevey uses for the unlock has its own issues.

iPhone 4 unlock for baseband 02.10.04 and 3.10.01 now possible with Sim unlock

There are two ways to unlock an iPhone. The first way being complicated and appropriate only to gadget wizards among us who play with soldering electronic devices and an much easier way which is the software unlock.

Changing the hardware in the iPhone is not only complicated, but it is also risky as you can easily damage permanently your iPhone. Besides there is another problem: you lose your warranty. The other way which is using the jailbreak and the software unlock is more known and widely used. In most cases it is completely safe, and what is great is that you don’t lose your warranty. If you need to go to Apple store, just virginize your iPhone by restoring it with original firmware and you have deleted any trace of the modification. Iphone jailbreaks include such software tools like Sn0wBreeze, Pwnage tools, RedSn0w and carrier unlock is known as UltraSn0w.
