Here is what the iPhone 5 will (probably) look like: two-tone, taller screen, smaller dock and unibody design. Soak it in, because you, your friends and millions of people around the world will carry it in their pockets. Ever since the first part leaked for Apple's upcoming handset, the Internet has chimed in as to why it sucks, why it's not innovative, "I'm never buying an Apple...
A hacker has uncovered a bug in Apple's new iOS 5 firmware which allows certain iPhones locked to AT&T to be unlocked for use on T-Mobile.

In my previous post, I called out some of the best stand-out features of Apple's iOS 5. But along with those pros, there are also some cons here as well. Most of these have more to do with holes in the operating system, but there are definitely some missed opportunities here.

The Basics There are two main types of jailbreaks — tethered and untethered. Tethered...
Are all A5 processors the same as another? Not so, says AnandTech, which looked into the iPhone 4S‘ processor compared to others, including the A5 chip in the iPad 2. The site compiled known benchmarks and “compared them to our existing database of tests.” Bottom line?
