WSJ reports :-

Apple, which is expected to launch its next-generation iPhone later this year, has ordered screens from its Asian suppliers that are bigger than the ones used in iPhones since they debuted in 2007, people familiar with the situation said.

Production is set to begin next month for the screens, which measure at least 4 inches diagonally compared with 3.5 inches on the iPhone 4S, the latest phone from Apple, the people said.

According to the Journal report, Apple is partnering with multiple companies this time for the production of the screen for the next iPhone. Those companies include : Sharp, LG and Japan Display, a new company born last month out of the partnership between the Japanese government and Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba.

Despite the fact being that Apple is the biggest client of the Korean electronics giant Samsung, the report makes no mention regarding Apple contacting Samsung for production of their next flagship smartphone’s display screen.

Many iPhone users are getting tired by looking at their smartphone which has been looking the same for so many years. It’s small screen has been the most irritating part when compared with those giant Samsung displays which attracts everybody. Looks like iPhone users prayers are likely to be positively answered with those big screens. Apple is still declining to comment on any speculations, when something official comes in, we’ll let you know exactly how much Apple cares regarding its users wishes.

The previous version of RedSnow was only able to downgrade A4 devices to lower iOS version and now those A5 iOS users who have saves SHSH blobs for their previous iOS firmware version 5.0.1 can enjoy the benefit of jailbreak as well.

DevTeam :-

• You cannot downgrade without the personalized SHSH blobs for your device at that lower firmware. You need to have fetched those blobs while the signing window was open, using either Cydia’s built-in TSS@Home feature, or with TinyUmbrella. The new Restore screen of redsn0w lets you choose either remote blobs or local ones (for the earlier firmware). If you don’t know where TinyUmbrella put your blobs, TinyUmbrella has a button that will show you (copy them out of that folder and feed them to redsn0w).

• The A5 downgrade method actually updates to the latests firmware before downgrading to the earlier one. This process updates your baseband to whatever is newest. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD IF YOU RELY ON UNOFFICIAL UNLOCKS of your iPhone 4S. Those who used the temporary SAM technique to unlock their iPhones to specific SIMs shouldn’t be affected by this baseband update.

• This method can be fixed by Apple with a firmware update. It’s a (pleasant) mystery why they haven’t fixed it yet, because reverse-engineering of the restore ramdisk indicates they do know about it. It’s possibly too niche to bother to fix right now.

• The least-tested devices with this method are the iPad2,3 and iPad 3,2 (because we don’t have those models). If you do and feel like experimenting, please let us know how it turns out in the comment section below!

• This update involves a bunch of new redsn0w code. We recommend sticking to the previous 0.9.10b8b unless you’re specifically using this new feature, until all the bugs are worked out! (Note: If redsn0w gets stuck at the “Waiting for device” stage for more than 30 seconds, you’ve hit a pesky GUI bug…that will be fixed in an upcoming version!)

FireCore :-

Seas0nPass 0.8.4 released. Adds [tethered] support for ver. 5.0.1 (iOS 5.1.1) on ATV2. ATV3 update still in progress

Yup, at the moment jailbreak solution for third gen AppleTV devices is yet to be released and as FireCore themselves stated above, they are in progress for adding the compatibility for 3rd gen AppleTV devices which may or may not take a long time.

Considering the fact that there are no exploits that could work for the third-gen AppleTV devices, it might take a very long time which might account for several months. Like the A5 iOS devices, third-gen AppleTV device users would have to remain calm for a long time.

As you might notice, the jailbreak solution for AppleTV devices running the latest iOS version is in Tethered state so you would have to appley the jailbreak procedure everytime on your device upon reboot.

Following are the download links :-

• Seas0nPass  For Tethered Jailbreak on Mac

Airplay bug Fixes :

Fixes an issue that caused some iOS apps to have trouble connecting via AirPlay.

Home Sharing Feature Improvement :

Improves the reliability of Home Sharing connections.

NetFlix :

At the moment there is no concrete jailbreak solution available (i.e untethered jailbreak). However, you can perform tethered jailbreak using the latest version of SeasonPass on second-gen Apple TV device, which is almost as good as the untethered jailbreak solution but you will have to perform the procedure for jailbreak every time you  reset your second-generation Apple TV device.

No jailbreak solution exists for the third-gen devices.

pod2g via Twitter :-

Hey. iPad 3,1 running iOS 5.1 untethered. Next on the list: stabilizing the payload, then trying 5.1.1.

Just after one week hearing the good news regarding iPhone 4 jailbreak, pod2g strikes again with a pleasant surprise. This surely is a very big relief for those who haven’t saved their SHSH blobs for the previous versions and are unable to downgrade. In the case of the third gen iPad however, there was no way to downgrade since it came with iOS 5.1.

The hacker seems pretty much confident about his work judging by the fact that he’s stepping forward towards iOS 5.1.1 jailbreak. Even though no ETA is mentioned but since the coding is finished, the process that remains only contains the packaging part which shouldn’t take much long and by this month, expect the jailbreak to be ready for masses.

Stay tuned for more updates.
