If you’re the owner of an iOS device and you’ve been installing Apple’s latest software updates, you’ve probably been waiting for the latest untethered jailbreak for many, many months. But thankfully that wait is nearly over. Chronic Dev Team member Pod2g has confirmed on Twitter that the latest iOS 5.1.1 untethered jailbreak is “near ready

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to snap up a cheap iPad directly from Apple, then wait no more. The Cupertino company has now slashed between $20 and $50 off its first- and second-generation refurbished iPads, with prices starting at just $349 for an original Wi-Fi iPad with 32GB of storage. If you want a

You may want to look towards Apple’s new 32nm-based iPad 2 if you want the best battery life an iPad can offer. According to new tests, which compared the battery life of the 32nm iPad 2 and the new iPad, the iPad 2 actually lasts longer. The tests were performed by AnandTech, a site that

The Brydge iPad Keyboard This product looks like it took a page right out of Asus’ book (keyboard dock, anyone?), which certainly isn’t a bad thing. Aptly named the Brydge, this accessory is the closest the iPad will ever be to the MacBook Air. Not only does it match Apple’s famous aesthetics, but the Brydge

Residents in some of America’s more rural locations can finally get their hands on the iPhone 4S. As of today regional carriers: Alaska Communications, Appalachian Wireless, GCL, Cellcom, and nTelos now offer the iPhone 4S to their customers for $50 less than the major carriers that have carried the device since its launch. In addition to the

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and Apple are still at a disagreement over whether or not it’s appropriate for Apple to use “4G” in the iPad’s marketing within Australia. The major issue concerning the ACCC is that Apple’s third-generation tablet is referred to as the “iPad Wi-Fi + 4G,” even though the device is

iOS users are starting to encounter a set of new mobile security features that began to quietly roll out to iOS and iTunes customers yesterday. Apple is reportedly asking iTunes account holders to set three new security questions and set a backup email address on their iPhones and iPads, CNET said. The measures should help users regain access

Technology research firm Gartner reported on Tuesday that there will be 665 million tablets in use by 2016, and 45 percent of them are expected to be Apple devices. The projection is based off of declining PC sales. Gartner also expects that 118.9 million tablets will be sold this year. Even though tablet market continues

A recent report from Stenvall Skoeld & Co. stated that, as of 2011, there was a combined total of 21 million iPhones and iPads in China. The firm’s report also notes that the majority of China’s iOS ownership is focused on the more affluent areas, such as Beijing and Shanghai. We’re not surprised, considering the iPhone costs around

During a recent podcast for The Talk Show, host John Gruber made the claim that Apple currently has a 7.85-inch iPad in its labs. Gruber stated that he was uncertain if the device would ever see a retail release, but also noted that Apple could possibly announce the new tablet as early as WWDC. There has

Additional information has been revealed about Micro Systemation’s XRY application, and it turns out the tool isn’t as effective as previously thought. In fact, XRY is reportedly useless against newer iOS devices such as the iPhone 4S, the iPad 2 and the new iPad. According to Will Strafach, who is better known by his @chronic

Finding the right words to describe Apple’s new iPad is difficult. For one, it’s hard not to tread over what’s already been said about its predecessor. The device is fast, beautiful and still offers an experience unrivaled by any other tablet out there — just like the iPad 2. Secondly, you have to actually see

British Prime Minister David Cameron has already proclaimed his love for the iPad, and next week Commons authorities will decide whether or not all British MPs should be issued with Apple’s tablet following a recommendation from the Commons Administration Committee, which believes the device will save taxpayer money. MPs are already issued with three (yes,

The last time I worked in a school we had a lab stocked with 30 Apple eMacs, and each classroom had one or two older iMacs of their own. New, those machines cost roughly $800-1,000 each and sported 17-inch CRT displays with 1280 x 960, 24-bit color resolution. Wi-Fi connectivity was optional thanks to an

After Apple’s event ended on March 7, I wondered, “Did Apple just pull another iPhone 4S?” Well, kind of, but that’s really not such a bad thing. Yes, the design is largely the same, save for a slight increase in thickness. But there are additions here that hugely improve upon what is already an amazing

Apple’s latest iPad improves upon its predecessor with a number of new features like a stunning Retina display, quad-core graphics, a 5-megapixel iSight camera, and 4G LTE connectivity. But what about the improvements you can’t see? Both devices look identical, but is the new iPad stronger than its predecessor? SquareTrade, a provider of third-party warranties

Apple’s third-generation Apple TV is almost identical to its predecessor — both inside and out — but it’s now capable of playing full, high-definition video in 1080p. So what does it have that the second-generation set-top box doesn’t? Well, according to a teardown performed by one XBMC.org forum member, the new Apple TV has double

The new iPad has arrived, and somewhere out there, in the shadow of Apple’s growing profile, lies the competition. Competition that, quite frankly, has been unable to challenge the iPad’s dominance. Some are comparable in specs, like the Transformer Prime, while some are not, like the 7-inch Kindle Fire. Apple has introduced a “Resolutionary” upgrade

If you purchased a new iPad today you may be looking to get rid of your old first or second generation iPad. eBay is running its own trade-in program and it’s actually offering some pretty solid payments — even for broken iPads. eBay reached out to TechnoBuffalo and confirmed that it’s offering the following prices depending

It was inevitable that we’d have to do a camera shootout between the iPad 2 and the new iPad. I think we can all agree that the rear camera on the iPad 2 was less than spectacular.  The new iPad is boasting a camera with a higher resolution and ups the video capture from 720p to 1080p,

Namco took to the stage at Apple’s iPad media event earlier this month to show off a new iOS game that’s been tailored to take advantage of the new tablet’s high-resolution Retina display. It’s called Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy, and according to Namco, “this is the ultimate air combat game.” Now you can check out

With the third generation iPad getting ready to land in our office tomorrow, it seemed fitting that we send the iPad 2 off with one last tour of what apps are currently on my tablet. As you’ll see, not much changes for me as I tend to only keep apps on my devices that I

Apple’s new iPad is the first of its iOS devices to adopt super speedy 4G LTE connectivity. But it still won’t let you make FaceTime calls on-the-go without finding a Wi-Fi hotspot first. Attempt to make a FaceTime call over 4G — or even 3G — and it will fail, just like it does on

British carrier Three has revealed its data plans for Apple’s new iPad ahead of its U.K. launch on Friday, March 16. The tablet will be subsidized if you’re willing to sign up to a two-year commitment, with prices starting at just £99 (approx. $155). In addition to the £99 fee up-front, the 16GB 4G iPad

Apple’s iPad is the overwhelming favorite for businesses. Data collected by ChangeWave Research revealed that 84% of the 1,604 IT buyers surveyed last month said they intended on going with the iPad – that’s more than ten times the nearest competitor. And businesses aren’t the only ones pining over the iPad, either. According to PCWorld,
