Apple’s iPhone 3G had some very big performance issues after the iOS 4 update first came out. While many of the problems have been fixed with the version 4.1 update, let’s be honest here. The iPhone 3G is never going to run iOS 4.x as quickly as it ran 3.x. Why? The new operating system ...

Apple’s 4.0.2 patch for iOS 4 arrived yesterday and it breaks the Jailbreakme.com jailbreak. A similar patch was released for Apple’s iPad, upgrading its operating system to 3.2.2 and also breaking the same jailbreak. While I am certain that a lot of you are disappointed that the jailbreak has been broken, it worked through a ...

Earlier this week I mentioned that you should probably not upgrade your iPhone 3G to the new iOS 4 operating system. The problem lies mostly with the iPhone 3G’s debilitating 128MB of RAM, in comparison to the new iPhone 4’s 512MB of RAM, which iOS 4 was designed for. After the ‘Antennagate’ beating that Apple ...

If you were pondering whether or not you should upgrade your iPhone 3G to iOS 4, do not. While the device is capable of running Apple’s new operating system, the 128MB of RAM in the 3G is not up to the task. The smartphone runs sluggish, apps freeze up and sometimes crashes. While it was ...

Apple is building a location information database and if you use the company’s products then you might be helping. The company sent a 13 page letter recently to two concerned congressmen to explain exactly what information that their database collects and what it does with the information. In a digital world where personal information is ...

Verizon just got the all new Motorola Droid X and you may be wondering how it stacks up against Apple’s new iPhone 4 in the smartphone battle arena. Personally, I like to imagine an ancient Roman gladiator event for the two phones to battle to the death in, but since they are just phones, I ...

For anyone keeping track of the iOS hacking scene, a carrier unlock exploit has finally been found for the iPhone 4. Carrier unlocks allow owners of phones to use them on networks other than what they were issued for. Layman’s terms? Carrier unlocks let iPhones work on T-Mobile and other GSM networks despite Apple and ...

Apple may be delaying the release of the first update to its iOS 4 software, version 4.0.1, that is expected to fix the ‘grip of death’ reception problems plaguing its newest smartphones because it wants to prevent the anticipated arrival of the first iPhone 4 jailbreak and unlock options available.

I talked recently about all of the problems that Apple’s new iPhone 4 and iOS 4 has been having. One of these problems was purely software based (gasp!) and it looks like Apple has already started rolling out a fix. The problem in question was synchronizing the popular smartphone to Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync after upgrading ...
