Now I know we get rumors in on the iPhone in the dozen, but when it comes to carriers, it’s generally related to Verizon, and while we have had some relating to T-Mobile in the past, this is the first time we’ve had one from a fairly reliable source. According to Wired Magazines editor in chief, Chris Anderson, T-Mobile will be getting the iPhone 3GS (not the iPhone 4) on their network [...]

Yesterday we were warned by the dev team not to update to iOS 4.1 as it prevents users from jailbreaking their devices. But alas, we don’t have to worry about that minor inconvenience any more. iPhone hacker pod2g of Chronic Dev Team has found yet another exploit in the iPhones boot rom which allows you to jailbreak your device yet again. And since it’s in the bootrom, it also means that [...]

I know the whole antenna hooray with the iPhone 4 has somewhat subsided, even though the problem itself is still there, it appears that consumers are more interested in the carrier, rather than the hardware issue. A recent survey carried out shows that 69% of users are aware of the iPhone 4 issues, but only 20% of these said that it affected wheter or not they bought the device. The other 80% said [...]

As you know, iOS 4.1 will be coming out at some stage today, so when your iTunes prompts you to update just hold back for a second. According to the dev team, iOS 4.1 has a new baseband which breaks the current jailbreak and unlock, there’s no known way to get around it as yet This means you many not be able to jailbreak/unlock your device ever again! Now the chances are the dev team and other [...]

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 4 is its incredible Retina Display which is unmatched by any other smartphone or device to date. That was until, or at least we thought, the iPod Touch 4G when Steve Jobs announced it last week. We were impressed by the front and rear cameras, gyroscope, a new processor and a retina display like the iPhone 4′s, however it seems that iPhone 4′s [...]

Now we’ve had our fair share of outrageous iPhone 4 camera accessories, but here’s a new one for you now. To be honest I don’t see why some many people are intent on turning their iPhone 4′s into SLR cameras, because it’s just not practical. The latest group of individuals who are having a stab at it are Aniebres, who have actually built something that looks like it [...]

Apple have gone ahead and confirmed with us that the iOS 4.1 software update for the iPhone will be coming out on September 8th, for UK customers at least. The US website still says “Coming Soon” and hasn’t committed to a date as of yet, but I don’t see why Apple would do a staggered roll out of this. What this also means is Apple’s new line of iPods will also become [...]

The iPhone 4 has been locked to T-Mobile ever since its release as they had exclusivity of the device. However it looks like that exclusivity is about to run out as the Wall Street Journal is reporting that the giant carrier is preparing for the loss of its iPhone 4 monopoly. Their citing several sources that O2 and Vodafone will be carrying the iPhone and their at “advanced stages of negotiations” So [...]

Contrary to a rumor that appeared yesterday, it seems that iOS4.1 will be providing a fix for the proximity sensor issue that users are experiencing with the iPhone 4. Not only that, but it will also fix issues with Bluetooth and speed up performance on the iPhone 3G which has been very poor. The new features? Well we have High Dynamic Range photos (allows you to take 3 images and combine them to form [...]

Apple are set to hold a press conference tomorrow, and while it’s set to be mainly focused on music, rumors are circulating that a possible new model of the iPhone 4 could be announced, with a new antenna to prevent any more of the antennagate problems. A recent report by Mexican Tech site Canal MX suggests a hardware fix could arrive by the end of September. Marco Quatorze, Director of Value [...]
