Permanent iPhone Unlock (seems a bit creepy)

illegal unlock

Great news for the pals, who are waiting for a safe way to unlock their iPhones. The two websites Cut Your Sim and Negri Electronics have revealed a permanent unlock without jailbreaking. The best part is that these unlocks are independent from firmware or baseband version and it will remain permanent once applied. Besides they offer %100 money back guarantee if the unlock does not work.

I can hear what you are grumbling. It seems impossible, isn’t it ? But thousands of people have signed up for the services for a one time payment of $170, also Negri Electronics has stopped taking new sign ups due to huge number of requests, and they will continue after all the requests have been processed. There may be a single question itching your head, we know that jailbreaking is accepted as legal by U.S government, however the situation is not clear for unlocking, thus it remains questionable and also whether the guarantee is nulled or not by this unlocking operation is still unknown.

MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team has recently twitted that “they are not hacking the software, they are accessing Apple database”, which seems like an illegal thing, hmm, that’s why the unlock operation is realized within iTunes. Can it be true ? If so, Apple is knowing IMEI numbers of those who unlock their iPhones with these services, since the IMEI numbers must be recorded by the unlocking service, and there may occur a legal situation. Even though Muscle Nerd stated, the unlocking process may not be occurring through illegal ways, since Apple will response with the hardest possible way if there is such thing, and both users and providers of these unlocks might face with law and terrible consequences.

iPhone 5 and iPad 3 Rumor Roundup

iPhone 5 and iPad 3

Normally in this time of year, we usually be in an exciting wait for a new iPhone or iPad, because starting from 2007, Apple has revealed a new product on June or July in WWDC. However things are a bit different this year, we might see Apple break the unveiling cycle for its new products.

Verizon users got their iPhone 4 nearly 4 months ago, there is a little chance that new iPhone 5 is coming just 4 months after, also Phil Schiller insisted on a new white iPhone is coming. That is probably white iPhone 4, so why would Apple instantly unveil iPhone 5 just after white iPhone 4? So all these points that we won’t be seeing iPhone 5 before September and iPad 3 before 2012. Generally a new iPad with the same specs as the new iPhone launches 3-4 months after the launch of new iPhone. John Paczowski from Now All Things has confirmed with his sources that no iPhone 5 before September. Also Digitimes said that component makers are claiming that they haven’t heard anything about iPad 3 in September.

Briefly, iPhone 4 will stay as the newest iPhone for a while, and we won’t be seeing iPad 3 before 2012, to those among you who plans to buy iPad 3 as a christmas gift we suggest you consider new iMacs, because recently Apple has released brand new iMacs, yummy.!

iPhone 5 delayed until 2012 ? or Late 2011

iphone 5

Folks, a fresh news about release date of iPhone 5 says that Apple won’t be starting to ship iPhone 5 before the end of 2011 or even before the end of 2012. On the other hand, Apple is targeting the lower end smart phone market, so ready to launch a low cost and low spec iPhone.

Also Some important iPhone component supplier from Asia stated that iPhone 5 production will not be starting before September. This statement is fully consistent with what Avian findings told about the supply chain stated last months. Also the supplier stated that a lower price/lower spec iPhone to come in the market. However they do not give a date about this lower spec iPhone.

Briefly, if we sum up all these rumors with the previous ones, we believe the launch date for iPhone is somewhere between late2011 and early 2012.

E-Ink and Hybrid Retina Display, maybe on iPhone 5 and iPad 3

e-ink

Recently, Apple was applying for new patents (E-Ink and Retina Display Hybrid), and some of them were published on the net, which were very interesting, though not probable. E-Ink and Retina Display Hybrid are thought to be used in the iPhone 5 and iPad 3.

The latter one is about switching between LCD and e-Paper display. The screen is said to be smart, so it can divide itself into the groups according to the content user browsing. For instance, an image displayed through Retina Display and text based contents are displayed through E-Ink.

They stay as conceptual works for now, maybe we could see such features after iPhone 5 and iPad 3. However Apple can still surprise us.

iPhone 5 and Carrier Wars

carriers

While iPhone 5 release date is approaching, or at least the rumors are finally cut off, we can just wait for it. Some of the 4 major U.S carriers are preparing themselves for the battle, and some others appear less willingly to confront an approaching combat. AT&T being reclined upon iPhone privilege, was able to got some attention, and that attention now tends to diminish. Since Apple appears to be prepare fair schedule for iPhone 5 launch dates for carriers. Verizon having a very late iPhone 4 launch may be a reason for that. Verizon might close the ranks if the iPhone 5 will be 4G enabled. Because Verizon is more associated with 4G, even if it barely supports 4G. On the other hand, T-Mobile and Spring had their lesson, no matter how many Android based phone they offer, they didn’t get the success as they hoped.
Yet, they didn’t admit it.

AT&T should continue to offer iPhone with acceptable prices and increased network quality if it wants to retain its growth. iPhone is the essential component in its growth, but for the sake of variation, it should also offer a broad-range of Android based phones. But it must be remembered that How Droid wasn’t enough for Verizon to compete.

Verizon should broaden its 4G network and continue to advertise about 4G networking, since it is more associated with 4G than any other carrier. If iPhone 5 is to launch with 4G support, this becomes a serious advantage to balance the score. Since many of the Verizon customers decided to wait for iPhone 5 , because of the late launch of iPhone 4.

Albeit the ridiculous explanations, saying iPhone isn’t coming to the carrier, customers are pretty sure that after being sold to AT&T, T-Mobile will offer iPhone sooner or later.

In the Sprint’s aspect, there are not too many options, it should certainly stick to iPhone 5, if it doesn’t want to continue shrinking, since it is the only major carrier without iPhone, and it is far behind the giants, and should better be offering iPhone 5 to close the gap.

iPhone is more than 10 times popular than Android

iphone love

Soon, in a few months, we’ll be welcoming the next gen smartphone, iPhone 5. On the other hand, Android based smartphones getting increasingly popular against iPhone. What’s your guess ? If Android and iPhone were put in equal conditions for a popularity contest. Which one would be more popular ? Recently one company, has gathered its employees who owned a BlackBerry phone, and then asked them to choose among iPhone, Android phone or a Windows Phone 7. iPhone has preferred 15 times more than the Android based phone and 40 times more than the Windows Phone 7. Android being more quickly developing than iOS and becoming increasingly popular nowadays, how it fell far behind the iPhone ?

There is a logical reason for this, In U.S people first choose their carrier then the phone. We already know that before 2 months ago  iPhone 4 was only available for AT&T users. Then Verizon has welcomed the iPhone 4, at this time most of the Verizon users has decided to wait for iPhone 5, which is likely to be available in the following months. Whereas Android was focused on Verizon, Spring and T-Mobile and built its market on these carriers. The fact is that Android is currently being eagerly chosed by geeks, but not the non-geek individuals. Non-geek individuals are confessing that they would definitely have been preferred iPhone, if it had been available for their carriers. The latest research applied on thousands of employees is just revealing this fact, and Apple is certainly aware of this. Now the task for Apple is to convert this iPhone eagerness/passion to sales by making iPhone available on the carriers at the same time.

Android may be another reason for the iPhone 5 delay

iphone 5

Latest rumors suggest iPhone delayed due to the increasing pressure from the rivals and the delay date should be as far as August or September. Introduction of the new advanced Android phones may have been a rigid reason why iPhone is losing share from the pie.

A fresh news from Boys Genius Report claims, nearly in the %30 of the stores HTC 4G Thunderbolt outsold the iPhone. Besides, Android owns %35 of the smartphone market, and the competition is getting warm, thus Android phones are becoming a serious threat.

So the assumption is that the delay for the iPhone’s release date has been caused by the increase in the sales of Android based phones, if there will be a delay.

White iPhone 4 is a white lie

white iphone 4

Maybe it is one of the most desired white iPhone, at the same time it is the only white iPhone that never existed. Although one of the company executives has twitted that it will be out in this spring, rumors say that White iPhone 4 has been abandoned. Why ? Because Apple has been removing iPhone 4 displays from the website. On the contrast what Phil Schiller said in his twitter account, neither white iPhone 4 nor white iPhone 5 seems to be available in this summer. So Apple fans looking for a white iPhone should have to use a white bumper accessory from the Apple store, that’s all they can do for now…

Verizon iPhone 5 to wipe out the dirty past

Verizon iPhone 5

Apple didn’t catch the sales success with Verizon iPhone 4 as with AT&T iPhone 4. Although Verizon iPhone 4 became the most anticipated phone after the original iPhone. So will it be the same for Verizon iPhone 5 ? Yes, definitely. We know that Verizon customers said hello to iPhone 4 six months after the AT&T customers had theirs. It can easily be considered as a punishment to loyal customers. And this made many customers to decide to wait for iPhone 5. But why Verizon still wanted to provide iPhone 4 to its customers after such an enormous delay instead of waiting iPhone 5? Maybe this can be considered as an effort to correct the big mistake. Even Verizon Droid wasn’t enough to prevent Verizon customers from migrating to AT&T. Also Apple remain silent during the launch of Verizon iPhone 4. Hmm, maybe Apple didn’t want to be seen with the losing side.

However, we will see that all will be changed with iPhone 5, since Apple is more precise this time, arranging launch dates to prevent same thing happening, so Verizon customers will have their iPhone 5 at the sametime with AT&T customers. But one thing is sure that such big mistake will be always remembered…
