The iPhone 5 is Actually Clocked at 1.3GHz

Primate Labs' John Poole has released a new version of Geekbench for iPhone that features a dramatically improved processor frequency detection algorithm, reports Engadget.

The new algorithm "consistently reports the A6's frequency as 1.3GHz." Poole confirmed to Engadget that "earlier versions of Geekbench had trouble determining the A6's frequency, which lead to people claiming the A6's frequency as 1.0GHz as it was the most common value Geekbench reported."

The site asked him if the A6 chip was capable of dynamically overclocking to which Poole answered, "I don't believe the A6 has any form of processor boost. In our testing, we found the 1.3GHz was constant regardless of whether one core or both cores were busy."

Pod2g Says He is Not Working on a Jailbreak for iOS 6

Pod2g, the hacker who released an untethered jailbreak of iOS 5.1.1, says he is not currently working on a jailbreak of iOS 6.

About the iOS 6 JB : I'm not working on it ATM, sorry. I'm focusing on my job. Maybe discussions at #WWJC will generate ideas (?).

Notably, chpwn, a popular iOS developer, has already been successful in jailbreaking iOS 6. However, it's unclear when of if he intends to release it publicly.

This is the first jailbroken iPhone 5

Unless Mossberg or Pogue knocked it last week, @Chpwn (Grant Paul) has the first jailbroken iPhone 5 which he posted to his Twitter account a few minutes ago. It is usually common courtesy to give Apple devices 24 hours before Jailbreaking but someone apparently couldn’t help themselves. More below:

Here’s the Cydia homepage on the iPhone 5:

Taller screens like Cydia too. :)

Jailbreakers Warned Not to Update to iOS 6

BigBoss, of the BigBoss Cydia Repository, has warned jailbreakers not to update to iOS 6 until a jailbreak is released.

"iOS 6 is a total dud. I think it's by far the worst major upgrade Apple has ever provided. It's more like a 5.1.2 than a 6.0," said BigBoss.

He notes the major differences moving to iOS6 from iOS 5:
1) Removes youtube
2) Removes google maps.
3) Adds apple maps. No street view, no transit directions. Remember, google has been doing maps a long time. No way apple is doing it as well in a few months.
4) Adds what? Facebook integration, ViP mail, do not disturb? iOS 5 users, you can get "do not disturb" functionality with "ringerx vip" in cydia.

This is definitely not worth an upgrade. And if you are jailbroken on iOS5 definitely do not upgrade to this. You will lose your jailbreak and that's definitely not worth it for this.

We are hopeful that an untethered jailbreak will be found for iOS 6; however, before updating please take into consideration that only a tethered jailbreak is available at the moment.

Video Beautifully Summarizes Expected Features of the New iPhone 5 [Watch]

A video by Sam Beckett summarizes the new features expected for the iPhone 5 which will likely be unveiled by Apple tomorrow.

The phone is drawn as accurately as possible, based on leaked dimensions. Some features such as the new dock connector and larger screen size are almost definitely likely to appear in the new iPhone 5. Other features are included only for concept purposes, such as 'Fingerprint Scan to Unlock'.

Everything has been drawn and animated from scratch; from the icons, to the user interfaces and of course the hardware itself. I used a combination of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and Apple's Final Cut Pro X.

Beckett includes a long shot fingerprint scanner and a concept Mission Control but otherwise it's very close to what most are expecting from Apple tomorrow.

Take a look below...

Chinese Company Used Leaked iPhone 5 Specs to Build Knockoff and Hopes to Sue Apple for Patent Infringement in China

Just the other day, we were hearing about Samsung getting in legal trouble over patent violations with Apple. A federal court decision ruled that Samsung owes Apple more than $1 billion in restitution. Samsung plans to appeal the decision, saying it never attempted to steal anything from Apple's iPhone.
Next week, on September 12, Apple is expected to introduce its highly anticipated iPhone 5, but the company may find itself on the receiving end of a patent-infringement battle. Chinese tech companyGoophone is launching the Goophone I5, which looks suspiciously like an iPhone in the company's video on YouTube.
In recent months, tech blogs all over the world have released leaked photos and videos of what is rumored to be Apple's iPhone 5. The pictures show what appears to be a longer, thinner, but altogether similar version of previous models of the best-selling smartphone in the world. The Goophone I5 will run a version of the Android operating system that mimics the look of Apple's IOS. Goophone claims to have already patented its phone in China and vows to sue for patent infringement should Apple try to release the iPhone 5 in China as well.
One commenter on Goophone's YouTube account wrote, "the clone wants to sue the original...THIS IS THE FUTURE!" Of course, since the new iPhone 5 does not technically exist for the public yet, we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks Yahoo


Tell us what you think about this interesting turn of events. What do you think Apple should do.

Video Claims to Show 'iPhone 5' Booting Up

M.I.C Gadget has posted a video found on Vgooo that supposedly shows an 'iPhone 5' prototype booting up.

--
According to the Chinese tipster, he "accidentally" discovered an iPhone 5 prototype at Foxconn's factory in Jincheng, and when he got his hands-on with it, he could feel the phone is thinner, and it is indeed taller. He quickly took some photos, and a video. Well, is the boot up video real or fake? We are not sure, but it's still interesting to see the device in the video could not be activated, where it says,

"This device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program. If you are a member of the program, please register your device in the @@url@@."

Take a look at the video below...
