Apple Sends Out Invites For 23rd October Event, “We’ve Got A Little More To Show You”

It has been perhaps the most rumored and probably the most anticipated event of 2012. But surprisingly, it was predicted earlier that Apple would be holding an event on 23rd of October because finally, Apple has started sending out invites for an event on 23rd October with the title, “ We’ve Got A Little More To Show You” and perhaps no person who has even a little interest in technology has a doubt of what is the “little More” thing that Apple is about to show the tech world on that event: The iPad Mini Is Finally Here

It looks like this event was planned since a long time, back since Amazon unveiled the Kindle Fire in 2011 showing that there was a niche in the market for small portable tablets as well. And after Google followed the same line with its 7 inch Nexus 7 tablet, it looked like it was only a matter of time before Apple did the same. Apple is the only one who has enjoyed success in the tablet market, and if it manages to introduce a middle specification little brother of the iPad at a moderate price, then it’s Apple all the way.

The iPad Mini is rumored to have a 7.85 Inch(Non-Retina) display, an A5 processor, the usual connectivity options of Wi-Fi, 3G, and possibly, even 4G LTE connectivity. All in all, it looks like a worthy competitor to the Nexus 7 and the recently announced Kindle Fire HD, but the main question is the price point. Personally, I think Apple would do great even if the iPad Mini is priced at around $249-299 because people expect Apple products to be of high quality and don’t usually mind paying $50-100 more for an Apple branded product.

Perhaps Apple’s new stance of “doubling down on secrecy” isn’t working that well, because just like the iPhone 5, the iPad Mini doesn’t looks like it would be surprising us with anything we don’t know already. Rumors and leaks have told us all we wanted to know(or did we?). Wouldn’t it have been better to have just remained in dark and be surprise by the iPad Mini?

5th Generation iPod Touch Benchmarks Start Coming: Beats Previous Gen, But Does It Beat iPhone 5?

Apple announced the 5^th Generation iPod along with the all-popular iPhone 5, making a remarkable upgrade from the previous Gen as it is the first time Apple has thought of upgrading the 3.5 inch screen which had become an identity of the iPhone and iPod touch in a world of giant sized smartphones. It also introduced the new 5 Mega Pixel iSight camera to the iPod touch along with the new A5 chip which seemed like a much needed upgrade as the camera and processors on the old iPod touch were simply pathetic. We know that the new iPod touch is a great step up from the 4^th Gen one, but how does it compare to the iPhone 5 in terms of performance?

Finally, the first Geekbench benchmarks are starting to come so we can have a look at a performance comparison between the new iPod Touch and the new iPhone.

The iPod Touch 5G managed a score of 619 which is nearly twice the size of the iPod Touch 4G which just got a score of 378. The iPhone 4S is just ahead of the iPod Touch 5G with a benchmark score of 654, but wait till you hear what the iPhone 5 got:

The iPhone 5 hit a score of 1573 which is just seems like a GIANT! The second best in performance is the iPad 3 with a score of 823 which doesn’t even comes close to the 1573 the iPhone 5 managed. That will clear up any doubt in those people who think that the iPod Touch is identical to the iPhone, minus the camera and the phone capabilities.

You can have a look at the chart of performance of all the iOS devices below:

Leaked Photos of iPad mini Battery [Images]

No doubt has been left in the fact that on October 23, the long rumored iPad mini will be finally launched. It is quite obvious that unless the rumored device is launched, we will be guessing about its features just like we got hold of the photos of iPad mini battery today.

These images have been collected from Macrumors who claim these to be part of new iPad mini. If you look at the labeling of these batteries, you will see that the battery is of 4490 mAh capacity. The photos have been received by Macrumors and you can also see that the model number on batteries is A1445 and Apple part number 616-0641 is also printed on these photos. This battery can operate on 3.72 volts to produce 16.7 Whr of energy and the charge of 4490 mAh.

It is also speculated that Apple is aiming its device to be used for media purposes so it better come equipped with a long battery life. Looking at the power ratings of battery, one can say that it will last longer than most tablets available in the market.

It will be difficult to say if the photos are actually of batteries that are going to be used in iPad mini but if you look at the labeling, it is the same way how Apple labels all its batteries.

The event invitations for launch of new iPad mini having 7.85-inch display will be sent out sometime in the next week by Apple. Let’s wait for another spectacular device from the Apple. Excited?

Download Redsn0w iOS 6 Jailbreak – Windows / Mac

iOS 6 was released last month along with iPhone 5, we saw the Jailbreak of iPhone 5 on the very same day. However, it is far away from being released because it is highly unstable and developers have to work hard to get it working properly. We have already posted that users with A4 devices and 3GS was able to jailbreak their devices using developers’ version of Redsn0w. it was not stable and also not too easy to install Cydia.

However, we have a good news for all those who were waiting for an updated version of Redsn0w. The iPhone Dev-team has released Redsn0w 0.9.15b1 with most awaited features such as ability to restore iPhone 4S and new iPad on iOS 5.x, Jailbreaking iPhone 3GS, 4 and iPod Touch 4 using the simplest method. Moreover, those users who want to update their iPhone 3GS and 4 without updating the basebands are also in luck.

You can read the complete details posted by Dev-team:

• restore from any 5.x iOS to any other (up, down or the same) 5.x iOS on all devices as long as you have the correct blobs (see more below)
• Cydia now included in the tethered 6.0 jailbreak on A4 devices
• automatically “Just Boot” tethered when qualifying A4 device connects in DFU mode
• untethered 6.0 jailbreak on old-bootrom 3GS
• untethered 6.0 hactivation on any 3GS or iPhone4
• directly restore pre-A5 devices to earlier firmware — no more complicated 15-step how-to’s with stitching, iTunes errors, and “hosts file” concerns
• fetch new signed blobs for any IPSW (present or future — no redsn0w update required) using Extras->SHSH Blobs->New
• block the BB update for any 3GS or iPhone4 restore (past, present, or future — no redsn0w update required) using Extras->Even More->Restore
• deactivate any iPhone, useful for testing your “official” unlock status through iTunes.  (Please only deactivate your own iPhone!)
• activation status shown on “Even more” page
• significantly more (very nerdy) info returned by “Identify” button when device is in Normal mode
• tethered jailbreak of ATV2 supported (but the only thing available for it is the SSH2 custom bundle available here — no Cydia yet.  Must use “Select IPSW” for tethered boot of ATV2 for now).
• auto-exit WTF mode for older devices with broken buttons
• any time a set of blobs is fetched remotely (from Apple or Cydia), redsn0w also saves them locally (and will check there first if you click “Local”)
• for your future restoring convenience, you should also submit all of your past and present TinyUmbrella blobs to Cydia if you haven’t done so yet.  Resubmitting is okay and won’t cause conflicts.

Here are more details on the iOS5-to-iOS5 restores for A5+ devices.  (Note: pre-A5 devices don’t have these restrictions — just follow the redsn0w prompts during the restore).

1. redsn0w now lets you restore an A5+ device from any iOS5 to any other iOS5 as long as you have correct 5.x blobs for the starting (current) and ending points of the restore

• APtickets eliminated “higher-version only” comparison of firmware restores (just like BBtickets did for the baseband)
• example restores supported by redsn0w if you have the correct blobs: 5.1.1-to-5.0.1, 5.0.1-to-5.1.1, 5.1.1-to-5.1.1, 5.0.1-to-5.0.1
• if you don’t have the blobs locally, let redsn0w try to fetch them remotely (redsn0w always tries both Apple and Cydia).  Any succesful remote fetch also saves a local copy too.

2. You DO NOT QUALIFY for iOS5-to-iOS5 restores if you got to your current 5.x via an OTA update

• the tickets saved by Cydia, redsn0w, and TinyUmbrella do not cover OTA update ramdisk images
• even if they did, it’s the “wrong kind” of ramdisk (you’d need to start at that earlier pre-OTA FW)
• devices fresh from factory or refurb may fall in the “does not qualify” category (your results will vary)
• it’s okay if you previously got to 5.x via an OTA update, as long as your current 5.x was installed via a normal iTunes restore.  All that matters is how you got to your current 5.x most recently
• redsn0w detects an OTA/normal-restore APticket mismatch very early, so if you don’t know your status there should be no harm in trying.  Any device in recovery mode after such a mismatch can boot normally again just by going back to “Even More” screen from the “Restore” screen (or use “Recovery Fix” if you quit redsn0w before doing that).

3. Unlike the A4 devices, redsn0w can’t (usefully) prevent the baseband updates of A5+ iPhones and iPads.

• and so, redsn0w automatically flashes the currently signed baseband when it does A5+ restores, even if those basebands didn’t come with the original firmware
• stay away from this if you have an unofficial unlock that isn’t supported by the newest baseband
• the least-tested baseband update code in redsn0w is for iPad2,3 and iPad3,2.  Please give any feedback on those iOS5 restores in the comments section below.

4. iPad2 owners (all three models) with saved 4.x blobs can use those instead, even from 6.x

• if you have both 4.x and 5.x iPad2 blobs, you can always get to 5.x via the 4.x blobs, even if you’re currently on 6.x
• you cannot get to 5.x from 6.x without the 4.x blobs (but you may still qualify for the iOS5-to-iOS5 restore described above)
• if somehow you have 4.x blobs but no 5.x blobs, you can still go down to 4.x from 6.x
• this only applies to iPad2 owners (they’re the only A5+ devices that ever had a public 4.x FW)
• redsn0w still supports (but doesn’t require) jailbreaking A5+ devices at 5.0.1 and 5.1.1.  Just head back to the first page after re-restoring to 5.x.  It’s always much faster to jailbreak those FW versions with a freshly-restored device, before letting iTunes restore from a saved userland backup.

And finally, some random details:

5. ultrasn0w isn’t yet updated for 6.x

• by now you probably should be taking advantage of the extremely cheap IMEI-based unlocks of iPhones sold by established online retailers like MyIMEIUnlock
• still, IMEI-based unlocks don’t work in all cases.  We’ll announce when ultrasn0w is ported up to 6.x
• redsn0w will still hactivate your 3GS or iPhone4 if you run it before the device is activated.  Due to the current tethered 6.x JB status, redsn0w now hactivates 6.x without requiring subsequent tethered boots.  If you accidentally hactivate with redsn0w, use the “Deactivate” checkbox available from the Jailbreak screen, not the normal one in “Even more”

6. As always, redsn0w lets you “Fetch” the SHSH blobs currently flashed onto your pre-A5 device

• use this if you’re at 5.x or 4.x but without having saved your blobs when the window was open
• this is only useful when Apple is no longer signing the firmware, otherwise Cydia/redsn0w “New”/TinyUmbrella blobs are superior (but you’re welcome to fetch your 6.0 blobs this way anyway)
• fetching blobs in this fashion will automatically forward them up to Cydia, as well as save a local copy
