How to install iPhoto and iMovie on iOS 5.0.1

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated May 30, 2017

iPhoto was the big new app release that Apple touted at its new iPad media event, but the bad news is that it requires iOS 5.1.

For those of us with jailbroken iPhone 4S' and iPad 2's, this places us in an interesting predicament.

Since there is no way to jailbreak iOS 5.1 on these devices, updating now would not only prevent us from jailbreaking, but it would also prevent us from downgrading back to iOS 5.0.1 now that Apple has closed the signing window for that firmware.

So, what to do? Fortunately, there's an easy workaround to this problem, and we're going to walk you through the process on video...

iMovie App Violates Apple’s Own Guidelines

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

In the wake of an FTC investigation, Apple decided yesterday to loosen its restrictions on iOS app development and published full guidelines about applications submitted for review in the App Store.

These guidelines aim at helping developers understand how Apple reviews applications. To quote Apple, "we hope it will make us more transparent and help our developers create even more successful apps for the App Store."

Well, speaking of transparency, can someone at Apple explain to me why Apple's iMovie application for iPhone violates their own guidelines?

iMovie for iPhone Will Only Run on the iPhone 4

Sébastien Page ∙ June 12, 2010

When Apple revealed the iPhone 4 last week, they also announced iMovie for iPhone, a video editing application that goes beyond the trimming option of the iPhone 3GS. Much was left unknown about iMovie, with many people asking about the capabilities of this soon-to-be-released application.

Jeff Carlson of TiBits got a bit more information about iMovie from one of his sources at Apple:

iMovie for iPhone will be for the iPhone 4 only. It will not be compatible with the 3GS or older models because it requires the A4 chip iMovie will not be able to run on the iPad Edited movies can be transferred to iTunes but they can't be further edited on iMovie on the Mac.

At $4.99, that is an application I will make sure to download as soon as I get my hands on the iPhone 4.
