Thanks, No probs

Well that didn't take long now did it? http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/07/ios-5-jailbroken/

I almost think that apple is starting to warm to the jailbreakers if existing exploits are going un-patched.

Very good times Although iOS5 is great - it still doesn't have a few things that I will still want to use

The thing is, the only reason I will jailbreak now is to get the teathering crack, everything else has been fixed by iOS 5.

It will be interesting to see if anything else gets added to iOS 5 by the time it's released in September. I guess that's when the new iPhone will be out also, and I'm sure the new iPhone will need software to support it's new features.

Don't count on a new iPhone this year - I seriously don't think we can expect to see one until early next year...

Apparently that LED flash uses the actual flash of the camera. However that's kinda pointless since most people leave the phone face up so you couldn't see it. Hmm.

Yeah my 3GS gets a new lease of life. I want a retina display though, but sod's law says if I get an iPhone 4 then the next one will come out shortly after.

What?! That would be plain stupid.

What other LED is there on the iPhone to use? Of course it would be the flash...

 

[Marky]

I don't see that they will do that (I still don't get the advantage of having that on a blackberry) - but I guess we'll have to see.

It is VERY useful and greatly adds to its function as a phone.

I am genuinely intrigued - how do you find it so helpful?

 

[Marky]

A notification LED? Being able to glance at your phone and know if you have a message/missed call is very useful. I can't think of anyone that wouldn't want it.

Seems just as easy for me to press the power or home button and see my list of notifications on the lock screen. I wouldn't want an LED blinking at me all the time (At least they give you the option to turn it off).

But the idea that they have given you the option to turn it off, says to me they won't include a seperate LED. Otherwise, then if you turn it off, you have an LED on your phone which then becomes useless. Just not Apples style.

Quick question,

My friend is a has developer access, could I give him my UDID code and he can registrar my phone under his license?
Will this allow me access to the beta?

Thanks

Fairly sure that won't work unfortunately

 

[Marky]

loads of people on macrumours forum doing it so im guessing it does work. few people with developer accounts activating udid's

Wow really? Awesome

Anyone wanna sign me up?

I can't see them not updating the iPhone, it brings in too much money to let it slip to the competition too much and they always get a massive boost in sales whenever a new version is released. I think they are just trying to get WWDC back to concentrating on software, so postponing the launch of the next iPhone is only logical as they released the CDMA version earlier on in the year to extend the life of the 4 a little bit longer in the US.

The next iPhone will probably be announced mid to late august to be released with the iOS 5 software update and iCloud release.

No way. Can't disagree with you more

If the iPhone 5 (or whatever they will call it) was going to be released mid to late August, we would have either:

A. Heard it mentioned at the WWDC

or

B. Had at least a small leak by now

The coming months up to a new iPhone launch, we've always had a leak of some sort (Even if it's some new cases for the new hardware...). There hasn't even been any news of any new screens or component modules being order. And I know you'll probably say "But because of the iPhone 4 leak they would have stepped up security" - Whilst that will probably be true, you can never hide things such as when electronics companies are having millions of pounds worth of components ordered by Apple.

IF Apple were to launch this year, it would be later this year, definitely after their September media event.
