Dream Jailbreak (DreamJB) Claims He has the Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 6

Published on December 11, 2012 by Richard Ker

Is this going to be a nice Christmas present for iPhone owners or is it just someone looking for a quick fame?

UPDATE: He’s just another scammer. :) It’s time to ‘unfollow’ him on Twitter.

A few months after iOS 6 was released, there’s still no untethered jailbreak available. However, an unknown person (I won’t call him a hacker for now) called DreamJB claims to have the untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 and it’s planned for release on December 22, 2012.

He also claims that his jailbreak will work on all iDevices including the latest iPhone 5.

Everyone should exercise caution and not to easily trust jailbreaks from anyone other than the iPhone Dev Team, Chronic Dev Team and pod2g.

They can contain malware/spyware or may permanently brick your device.

According to DreamJB:

My identity will remain an obscurity. I am not affiliated with any known dev team. This project is individual and solely run by me alone. I am here to show the world that the source of an exploit or jailbreak can be from outside the norm.

It may sound to be too good to be true but let’s keep our eyes and ears opened. Who knows this is probably the one that everyone’s been waiting for, or not.

Fast and Easy Way to Check if Your AT&T iPhone Can Make FaceTime Calls

Published on December 7, 2012 by Richard Ker

FaceTime over cell data has been available to some AT&T unlimited data customers since late November. There’s a quick and easy way to find out.

Normally, FaceTime over cellular requires LTE on AT&T’s network, but some have reported they can FaceTime calls even without LTE service enabled.

Here’s how to check:

1. Go to Settings > scroll down to FaceTime.

2. Toggle Facetime OFF or ON, sign in with your Apple ID.

3. Toggle the “Use Cellular Data” to ON, and observe. If it stays ON, AT&T allows you to use Facetime, otherwise you’ll see the message as shown in the screenshot above.

In some cases you may have to reboot your iPhone for the feature to take effect. The roll-out is gradual so you may want to try from time to time.

Most iPhone 5 users with unlimited data plan will have this feature without any problem and some iPhone 4S users have reported to be successful as well.

Easy, huh?

Will The iPhone be “Made” or “Assembled in USA” Someday?

Published on December 6, 2012 by Richard Ker

Will Apple move its factories or production lines “back” to USA someday?

Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that production of one of the existing Mac lines will move to the US in 2013.

The news was just published on Bloomberg Business week, and the TV interview will be aired on NBC tonight.

Excerpt of the interview with Cook:

“It’s not known well that the engine for the iPhone and iPad is made in the U.S., and many of these are also exported-the engine, the processor. The glass is made in Kentucky. And next year we are going to bring some production to the U.S. on the Mac. We’ve been working on this for a long time, and we were getting closer to it. It will happen in 2013. We’re really proud of it. We could have quickly maybe done just assembly, but it’s broader because we wanted to do something more substantial. So we’ll literally invest over $100 million. This doesn’t mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we’ll be working with people, and we’ll be investing our money.”

But that’s just the Mac lines.  9to5mac has recently discovered that Apple may have a “secret plant” in Fremont, California.

The folks at iFixit revealed that some 2012 iMacs are already “Assembled in USA”. How about iPhones or iPads? Apple may have already considered this before but no one knows for sure if it will become a reality.

Would you prefer if iPhones are fully made and assembled in USA?

How to Fix Mobile Service Provider AT&T Icon that Suddenly Changed to DAN 3G

Published on December 5, 2012 by Richard Ker

If out of the blue your iPhone’s wireless provider icon AT&T changed to “Dan 3G”, don’t worry, your iPhone isn’t hacked by anyone. Here’s how to fix that.

If this happened to you, you’re not alone. Many people are concerned that their iPhones  have been hacked or compromised.

Your first reaction would be calling AT&T or visiting your nearest AT&T store, which is the right thing to do.

AT&T’s Level 2 Tech support have confirmed that this is occurring in the Philly market and only with iPhone 4 models. Some folks who live in Atlanta who maintain a 717 area code for central PA were affected as well.

Some explanation by a user on Apple’s support forum:

It is the older SIM cards that are affected. It is isolated to older SIM cards associated to 717 numbers. It has to do with technicalities related to some testing /upgrading of AT&T towers. Whatever the technical reason, there is a newer SIM card for the traditional SIM and there is a newer micro SIM as well. The new SIMs came when AT&T got LTE in some markets.

No one with the newer SIMs are affected. If you don’t believe me and you have an iPhone 4, take it out and compare it to the SIM of someone’s iPhone that doesn’t say Dan on it. Their SIMs are different colors and you’ll understand that the non LTE SIMs are the ones affected. The iPhone 4S and 5 ship with a new SIM in them and have since they came out.

There is a newer regular SIM that will work that’s LTE capable, it’s what the first Samsung note uses. Peace out people, stop debating the issue. Even apple care manager thanked me for figuring this one out and said they will share with other areas if arts issue starts popping up in other markets.

So yeah, just head out to your nearest AT&T store to get a replacement SIM card.

Apple Now Allows You to Buy Up to 10 Factory Unlocked iPhone 5 Per Order

Published on December 5, 2012 by Richard Ker

Since Apple is now able to catch up with demands, they have lifted the policy of purchasing 2 units of iPhone 5 per transaction and 10 units per lifetime.

iPhone 5 factory unlock order from Apple Store

The change in policy may be due to factories in China are able to ramp up production and catching up with the high demand. Shipping time has also been reduced to 2-4 business days.

Customers can now buy 10 units per order and unlimited units per lifetime. Apple’s online store has reflected the new policy changes as well.

You can enter 999 units of unlocked iPhone 5 to your cart which gives you a grand total of $648,351, but the online Store will only process 10 units per order. If you’re a retailer then this may be a good news for you.

iPhone 5 is also launching in many countries in the coming weeks including China which sees a huge number of pre-orders.
