Apple confirms that iOS 7 will be at the WWDC conference

I'm sure you all have heard countless rumors about apples iOS 7 that will be unveiled next month during the WWDC Conference. The conference will start with Apple's confirmation that they will lead the pack unveiling it's new design first. Jonathan Ive has completely changed the look of Scott Forstall's software most of us have become more than comfortable with.

So far what I've come to understand about the new design are more like the Windows phone than I would have ever thought Apple would come to a Windows product. The changes that are said to take place are features like flat icons that have individual colors, lose their shine, shadow and have flat white textures. In addition to the change of icons there are changes such as the linen and leather backgrounds of the calendar and Notification Center to go with once again a more flat look. Some wishes have been answered from jailbreakers like what sounds like an easy toggle for bluetooth, Wifi and airplane mode. We may even see a weather Widget show up in the new iOS as well. Even though there will be all these massive changes to the iOS looks the overall functionality of the device sounds like it will be the same all the changes will be for the most part cosmetic but that doesn't mean more wont change.

The general consensus is that the new iOS will release alongside the new iPhone this coming Fall with no official release date announced. Things could be getting more interesting when the look of what seems to be most of the Apple line up may be getting a revamp for this new iOS release. 


The thing we can all look forward to is with a brand new iOS releasing along with new hardware on the devices we can count on lots of bugs and an easy jailbreak for Apples new setup.


Are you ready for the new iOS? What do you think about the revamp?

Jailbreak your iDevice! IOS 6.0.1 - 6.1.2

 I've had my iPhone jailbroken using this method for a few months now and it is by far the easiest jailbreak method I've ever used. If you're familiar with my old videos I had to do two separate videos for the iPod touch 2G because there were multiple programs used and they were sketchy at best installing them LibUSB caused many problems to peoples computers when they didn't install it with administrative privileges.
Anyway here's the process to jailbreaking your iOS 6x device using the Evasi0n method.

First things first

Download Evasi0n software: http://www.evasionjailbreak.com/download-evasion-1.5.3-update-to-jailbreak-6.1.2-untethered/

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:

- MacOSX 10.5/10.6/10.7/10.8
- Windows (XP minimum)
- Linux x86/x86_64 (Kernel >= 2.6.24, libgtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.13)

SUPPORTED FIRMWARES:
- iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.1.2.

SUPPORTED DEVICES:
  • iPhone 5
  • iPhone 4S
  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 3Gs
  • iPad 4
  • iPad mini
  • iPad 3
  • iPad 2
  • iPod touch 5th Gen
  • iPod touch 4th Gen

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Backup your device through apple before using evasi0n. If you need to fully reset you can restore data.

2. Disable the backup password as well as your lock screen password there have been issues if these are on during the jailbreak. After the jailbreak you can always add them again.

3. Launch evasi0n (pic below), plug in your device, and click "Jailbreak". This is by far the easiest part letting the software crack your device.
4. This may take awhile so leave your idevice alone grab a drink and let it do it's job don't touch your device if an apple message comes up.

5. This process is safe for your device but if it freezes go ahead and restart it hold down both the power and home buttons if necessary.




Seriously, it's that easy now enjoy your new jailbroken device

iPhone IOS 7 Jailbreak

Hey guys looks like Apple will be releasing their new IOS 7 sometime around September. Unfortunately for you guys who have the 4s device or later (or the 4 who don't want to go tethered) you'll have to wait till the next generation of IOS comes out to jailbreak your new device.

So what's to come of IOS 7? I've heard rumors of a new design which could be anything from an IOS with both Windows phone and Android features or a simpler design in other aspects. I believe apple should take a page or two out of the jailbreaker handbook and make a couple features more accessible as well as make some changes app wise. Here's my thoughts.

1. Hide apps
 It's no secret apple has put a few junk apps on everyone's device (newsstand, passbook, and their maps app) and most people have a junk folder because of it. So why not allow us to hide some apps we don't want to see.

2. Widgets
 Android has made lots of use of widgets on their devices and it's a nice touch to some degree, I'm not saying go overboard but would a weather widget be out of the question on the lockscreen or in the NC center?

3. System prefs shortcuts
 As jailbreakers we like things easier than apple has laid out for us we like our cake to not only to come to us but to be specially designed and come with a fork that feeds us. So why not add a couple quick access system controls in the notification center or one flick over from the volume control in the multi-tasking tray. Just toggles like airplane mode, wi-fi, bluetooth, and the backlight.

4. Active Dock
 This little hack on jailbroken devices is one of my favorite simple, but gives your device that extra flare. Seriously Apple you're already using it on your computers, just bring it to your other products.

Anyway that does it for my IOS 7 info for now tell me what you think, what should Apple do to their new IOS?
Finally, What do you guys want to see in this blog? More tutorials, more reviews. Let me know if there's something you want to see or know more about.
