Despite the fact that Apple continues to receive praise for the security in iOS, hackers continue to discover vulnerabilities. Just look at all of the exploits that have been used in past jailbreaks.
Today, Pod2g adds another one to that list with his newly discovered SMS flaw. It has to do with the way the iPhone handles SMS, and could open the doors for text message spoofing...
Now that the dust has settled from the revelation that Apple has done away with the stock YouTube app, what are your thoughts?
We've polled you about your YouTube app usage, but now we want some in-depth insight on your feelings about YouTube's removal from iOS 6...
As we told you yesterday, Apple has incorporated a new Wi-Fi Plus Cellular option in iOS 6 beta 4. This new setting allows apps to use cellular data when there are issues with the Wi-Fi connection.
You can find the Wi-Fi Plus Cellular toggle in the General > Cellular panel, which is within the Settings app.
Once iOS 6 is formally released to the public, should you enable this option? Is there a risk involved when it comes to racking up extra cellular data charges with your wireless provider? We'll answer these, and other questions inside...
The latest beta of iOS 6 was released this week with a handful of changes. We've already mentioned a few of these differences like the new Bluetooth Sharing menu, and the missing YouTube app. But another one has been discovered.
In beta 4, a new option can be found deep in the Settings application, under the Cellular tab, called Wi-Fi Plus Cellular. When enabled, it allows apps that are having trouble with Wi-Fi to automatically switch over to cellular data...
For months, rumors have been bouncing around that Apple was finally going to give its iPhone a larger display this fall. And these rumors have been all-but-confirmed by industry insiders and claimed leaked components.
Then earlier this week, it was reaffirmed when it was discovered that iOS 6 is capable of running on such a display, at a resolution of 640 x 1136. And we've got some images of what apps will look like if the speculation holds true...
iOS 6 brings a new app called Passbook that Apple argues isn't a direct payment product (yet). Instead, the program lets you collect and organize discount coupons, gift cards and some such. Patents, however, reveal that Apple is actively thinking about leveraging NFC technology to turn Passbook into a comprehensive mobile shopping solution, referred to as the iWallet.
You could create fake coupons to play around with in the Passbook app, but I'd bet my shirt that you'd still be scratching your head as to how exactly Passbook is supposed to work in real-life. A nice two-minute clip embedded below will help clear up the confusion by showing some interesting possibilities for Passbook through real-life examples...
It's widely believed that the new iPhone will, for the first time, feature a larger screen. It seems like it's been all but confirmed with reports from major news outlets and leaked next-gen iPhone parts.
But if you're still skeptical about Apple enlarging the screen on its smartphone, you might want to check this out. iOS 6 has been discovered to be completely scaleable to fit a taller, 640 x 1136 display...
Yesterday's release of iOS 6 Beta 4 has brought another proof of the de-Googlification of iOS, with Apple unexpectedyl removing the native YouTube app because "our license to include the YouTube app in iOS has ended". Google, of course, was quick to point out that it will be releasing its own YouTube client on the App Store shortly.
It's much ado about nothing, really: the vast majority of videos embedded in web pages play in-line in the mobile Safari browser and users can always browse a much larger selection of clips via the mobile YouTube site.
That didn't stop Twitter and Techmeme from lighting up yesterday with hysteric reports over Apple's move. Heck, it apparently rattled one guy so much that he announced switching to Android...
Earlier today, Apple released iOS 6 beta 4 to developers. We've discovered a handful of new features and other changes in the update, but there's one thing that stayed the same.
Dev Team frontman MuscleNerd has just confirmed that beta 4 is still jailbreakable with the latest version of RedSn0w (0.9.13 dev 3). There's just a few things to remember...
We've been combing through iOS 6 beta 4, which Apple released to developers this morning, for any differences in the update, and so far, we've managed to spot a handful of them.
In addition to the removal of the native YouTube application, we've also discovered a new Bluetooth Sharing option in the Privacy settings, as well as some other minor changes...
Earlier today, Apple pushed out iOS 6 beta 4 to developers. It's the fourth update to Apple's latest mobile software, which is expected to become available to the public sometime in September.
Judging by the lengthy change log we've been reading through all morning, beta 4 is full of bug fixes and other improvements, and not much else. But we have noticed one notable change...
Apple has seeded the fourth beta of its new iOS 6 software to developers this morning. The release comes just three weeks after the previous update.
As usual, the new beta is currently only available as an over-the-air update, but the full version should come up on the iOS developer center soon.
Update: iOS 6 beta 4 is now available in the dev center, and we have the full change log after the break...
