Only the GSM iPhone 4S Can Be Unlocked

Following the news earlier that the iPhone 4S won't be available as an unlocked device until November, it's also worth noting that only customers on GSM carriers will be able to unlock the 4S.

Apple touted the iPhone 4S as a "world phone" capable of running on both GSM and CDMA networks, but as usual there seems to be more involved when it comes to the fine print. Unfortunately, an unlocked iPhone 4S will only work on GSM networks...

MuscleNerd, frontman for the Dev Team, has warned jailbreakers to stay clear of JailbreakMe.com from now on...

The iPhone 4S Sucks

Look at that piece of crap. The "iPhone 4S." What was Apple thinking? I waited 16 months for this?

Look at it. Sitting there. Looking exactly like the iPhone 4. It's glaring at me like I'm supposed to welcome it with open arms. I hate you, iPhone 4S! You suck.

The iPhone 4S Camera is Incredible, Here’s the Evidence

Apple announced a 8 megapixel camera for the iPhone 4S yesterday, and full-res photos taken on the 4S have been provided on Apple's website for comparison.

Needless to say, the quality of the camera on the 4S is absolutely stunning. The photos you are about to see have allegedly not been tampered with, and it's obvious that the 4S competes with most point-and-shoot cameras on the market. Some would even say that DSLRs have a new competitor...

You Don’t Have to Be a Developer to Install the iOS 5 GM

Yesterday Apple released the iOS 5 GM to developers. This is the final iOS 5 "beta" version to come out before the software's public launch, and in most cases the GM is identical to what gets publicly seeded.

In classic GM fashion, you don't actually have to be a registered developer to install the iOS 5 GM. That doesn't mean that it's not still discouraged, it just means that Apple doesn't check developer UDIDs when installing the iOS 5 GM...
