Apple is still signing 4.3.3 so make sure you have those SHSHs

kthxbai.


(the way things going, 4.3.3 is the safest F/W to be on so make sure if you are on another f/w, go use TinyUmbrella because Cydia wont pull those SHSH's.)

[by "the way things going" i mean, save at least one SHSH so that you can /maybe/ downgrade later on to in case iOS 5 aint your thing, this is esp for 3GS users, we dont want a repeat of iOS 4 and 3G lags. Remember, Apple has so far in iOS 5 hampered the old way of downgrading.]

Things are looking wonderful for Apple's iPhone these days, according to a study of US smartphone buyers by ChangeWave. The study results show that of Americans expecting to buy a smartphone in the next 90 days, 46 percent are planning to get an iPhone while only 32 percent are thinking about an Android phone.

This shows that the demand for iPhones is highest ever for a non-launch period, second only to the launch of the iPhone 4 last year when a full 50 percent said they'd go with an Apple product. ChangeWave speculates that the introduction of the Verizon iPhone is what caused the change. At the end of 2010, demand for Android and iPhone was about even; once the Verizon iPhone hit the market, interest in Motorola's Droid phones waned.

Other fun facts from the ChangeWave study show that iCloud has the attention of both existing Apple owners and others; that about 70 percent of iPhone owners are very satisfied with their device, compared to a dismal 26 percent for RIM/BlackBerry owners; and that Windows Phone 7 is showing remarkably good satisfaction levels (about 57 percent).

The results of the ChangeWave study could be a foretaste of tomorrow's Apple financial call, which will probably divulge spectacular numbers for iPhone and iPad sales for the last quarter.

Apple will reportedly debut a $350 iPhone sometime this year, will lower the price for the iPhone 4, and unveil a new iPhone 4S/5 in late August, according to BGR.

We just received some new information from an incredibly solid source of ours. According to our source, Apple will indeed be launching a prepaid / lower cost iPhone this year. We are told the handset will retail for no more than $350 without contract. Ready for the really interesting part? It's entirely possible that the low-cost iPhone will in fact be the iPhone 3GS.

BGR also confirmed that the iPhone 5 features a radical new design; however, its unclear whether this device or an iPhone 4S is to be released next. Their source says whichever device is to be released will be "at least announced by the end of Summer, late August-ish."

Finally, the site has been told that Apple will continue to sell the iPhone 4 creating low, mid, and high price points for the popular Apple smartphone.

Apple is set to release Mac OS X Lion and new MacBook Airs as early as Wednesday, according to a new report by AppleInsider.

According to people with proven track records who would be in a position to know, the new product launches are set to occur later this week. Specifically, one person said the products would be released on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.

The latest details align with what AppleInsider was told earlier this month, when it reported that new MacBook Air models with backlit keyboards and Thunderbolt ports would launch the week of July 21.

The rumor mill had Apple releasing its new OS and notebooks last week; however, that date passed with no sign of new product updates. The WSJ's AllThingsD has also predicted that the release will actually be this week. When criticized for guessing, Kara Swisher stated, "We're not guessing. We never guess. You'll see."

Apple has only officially announced that Lion will be released in July.

Apple News | Mac OS X Lion is Now Available in the Mac App Store

http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=16124

********************

Anyone knows if this will work properly on a HP Mini 110-3100 ?

[Strauss]

You need a Mac with minimum Core2 Duo processors running SNOW LEOPARD.

If you want a Hackintosh of Lion, you will need a functioning hackintosh already fully supporting Snow Leopard. Plus you need to wait till they modify the Lion download file to install on your PC.

[M_2NR]

sir, its OSX Lion.





I'll be waiting for this guy to do a file with it here:

It appears that Apple has dropped the White MacBook from its lineup today with the release of its new MacBook Airs. Searching for White MacBook still brings up cached pages but going to them yields the Mac Homepage.

Apple Store has been down since late yesterday and a lot of folks have been keeping their credit cards ready for new products. Well, Apple has just upgraded Mac minis and MacBook Airs featuring the latest Sandy Bridge processors and Intel’s speedy Thunderbolt I/O technology. As a bonus, Cinema Displays have been refreshed with Thunderbolt technology as well. In line with 9to5Mac’s report, the new MacBook Air family finally features backlit keyboard. Just like before, the new MacBook Airs come in 11.6-inch and 13-inch flavors, each is available in baseline, more powerful and build-to-order flavors.



The base line 11.6-incher includes a 1.6 GHz processor, 2GB RAM and 64GB of flash storage and the pricier model doubles RAM and storage. Note: Because the memory is soldered onto the motherboard, you must decide on RAM at purchase time. The same goes for storage, configurable only at the online Apple Store. The entry-level 13-incher sports a 1.7 GHz processor, 4GB RAM and 128GB of flash storage while the more expensive 13-inch MacBook Air doubles the storage to 256GB. Build-to-order options for both 11.6-inch and 13-inch models include a 1.8 GHz chip, 4GB RAM and 256 GB of flash storage for 13-inchers. Note that a 1.8 GHz processor and 256GB flash storage upgrades are the firsts for the 11.6-incher. All models run on Intel’s HD Graphics 3000 processor with either 256MB (11.6-inch machines) or 384MB (13-inchers) of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory. Another thing worth mention: The built-in FaceTime camera has not been upgraded to high-definition. Go past the break for information about the new Mac minis and nice press shots.



The new Mac minis include Sandy Bridge Core i5 and Core i7 chips, new AMD Radeon HD 6630M discrete graphics and Thunderbolt I/O, delivering “up to twice the processor and graphics performance of the previous generation”. This time around, however, the minis come without an optical disc drive. Instead, you can access the optical drives on other PCs and Macs or hook up an external MacBook Air SuperDrive if you’re feeling old century. The new lineup has the same aluminum design like its predecessor and measures 7.7-inches square and are 1.4-inches thin. The entry-level model includes a 2.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 with 2GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive storage. The pricier machine has a 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive, with build-to-order options including a 2.7GHz dual-core Core i7 processor, up to 8GB RAM and a 750GB hard drive with an option to add or replace with a 256GB solid state drive. The server variant with Lion Server included runs a 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and comes with 4GB RAM and dual 500GB hard drives, with build-to-order options including 8GB RAM, two 750GB hard drives or up to two 256GB solid state drives. Customization options on all models include up to 8GB RAM, a faster 7200 RPM hard drive and a 256GB solid state drive. The entry-level Mac mini retails for $599. The more powerful model will set you back $799, or $999 for the server version . Both machines are available for order today via the online Apple store and in stores tomorrow.

MacRumors points at a Financial Times report (subscription required) asserting that Apple has now officially surpassed Nokia to become the #1 smartphone maker globally. IDC Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker had Nokia ship 24.2 million smartphones versus 18.7 million iPhones. A quarter later, however, iPhone sales have gone through the roof while sales of Nokia smartphones fell down the cliff as the world’s once leading mobile phone maker fights to regain influence. The financial paper explains:

Shipments of Nokia smartphones declined by 34 per cent to 16.7m units, compared with the 20.3m iPhones shipped by Apple in its second quarter. Apple was already the biggest smartphone maker by revenue and profits, but the April-June period marked the first time it had surpassed Nokia in volume.

Apple,which just four years ago wasn’t even on the radar, managed to become the world’s #1 smartphone maker with a year old handset, a limited footprint and with just one high-end handset model refreshed once a year. The news must be tremendously humiliating for the people at Nokia who are holding on to their burning platform. Remember how cocky Nokia executives used to laugh off the iPhone and boast in public how Nokia sells a quarter’s worth of iPhones in a week? Apple’s feat isn’t entirely surprising given a Nomura analysis from earlier this month that predicted Apple topping Nokia’s volume by the end of June.

Also of note is how Nokia’s market share in Australia fell spectacularly, from almost 50 percent in the first quarter to less than 25 percent as iPhone became the king of the hill in the country, per IDC. Android devices collectively outsell iPhones due to broader distribution and a wider range of sizes, models and price points, but no single Android vendor has been able to touch Apple in terms of volume. Apple is already the world’s biggest phone vendor by revenues and profit, controlling as much as half the total mobile phone industry’s income. Today, the iPhone is the main driving force behind Apple’s seemingly unstoppable growth, as seen in the below chart, courtesy of Asymco.



Apple reported sales of 20.3 million iPhones in the June quarter, representing 142 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. They ending the quarter with about 5.9 million units in channel inventory to serve new and existing carriers. Revenue from iPhone and related products and services topped $18.65 billion, representing an astounding 65 percent of the $28.57 billion of Apple’s quarterly revenue. The company’s international sales from the more than 40 million gadgets and computers Apple shipped accounted for 62 percent of the quarter’s revenue. AT&T posted earnings this morning, reporting 3.6 million iPhone activations during the June quarter, effectively matching their iPhone activations from March.

Shortly after OS X Lion hit the Mac App Store, Adobe promptly blamed Apple’s new operating system for a number of issues with its applications that users are experiencing after upgrading. One of its claims was that Lion disables hardware video acceleration, which has a huge impact on its Flash Player and results in it eating up a whole lot more of your processing power than it previously did.

It hasn’t taken long for Adobe to issue a retraction on that claim.

In a statement posted to its blog, and in its initial support article, Adobe clarifies its claims:

The final release of Mac OS X Lion (10.7) provides the same support for Flash hardware video acceleration as Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). The previous “Known Issue” described in a tech note suggesting that video hardware acceleration was disabled in Lion was incorrect and based on tests with a pre-release version of Mac OS X Lion that related to only one particular Mac GPU configuration. We continue to work closely with Apple to provide Flash Player users with a high quality experience on Mac computers.

This obviously suggests that Lion isn’t really the Flash killer Adobe claimed it was, and instead, the problems are simply with Adobe’s software… and their failure to test it on Lion properly before release.

Although there is no mention of an upcoming update in its statement, we’re sure that Adobe will be issuing a Flash Player fix shortly.

We’ve received photos of a purported white iPod touch front panel. Specifically, this panel is the digitizer component, according to the iFixYouri iPhone repair shop. We obviously cannot confirm the legitimacy of these photos but according to iFixYouri, they fall in line with the fourth generation iPod touch’s build. Knowing this, these can either be photos of a scrapped white iPod touch 4 in white or (hopefully) photos of the fifth-generation iPod touch’s front panel in white.

Although we have been hearing some whispers of a new form-factor for the fifth-generation iPod touch, the previously accurate Ming-Chi Kuo has reported that the fifth-generation iPod touch will, in fact, come in white and will feature an overall design that is akin to that of the fourth-generation iPod touch. Additionally, iOS SDK data reveals that the iPod 4,2 (possibly the fifth-gen iPod touch) will be more about internal changes. On that note, we’ll likely see the dual-core A5 processor to move the iPod touch ahead in the growing mobile gaming industry, and maybe some better cameras.



Coupled with Kuo’s report and this white part, we think that a white iPod touch 5 is a possibility. Additionally, in an interview, Apple’s Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller revealed that Apple’s work and engineering on the white iPhone 4 has positively affected the company on a broader scale. With the existence of a white iPhone and a white iPad, a white iPod touch should fit in quite nicely.

Again, we cannot confirm that these images are legitimate, they just have come to us not too long before supply-chain rumors of a white fifth-generation iPod touch emerged. Keep in mind that Apple could be possibly be toying with a white iPod touch model, yet never release it.



All put together, this is what an iPod touch (with the fourth generation design) would look like in white (pretty sweet).

Do you need a US credit card to update to OS X Lion? I am trying, but it keeps telling me payment processing is temporarily unavailable....

Do you need a US credit card to update to OS X Lion? I am trying, but it keeps telling me payment processing is temporarily unavailable....

Kes suggested you use iTunes cards and use the credit from your AppleID a/c to purchase Lion.
