The next phone 2012 from Apple is widely speculated as coming with huge 4-inch screen as compared with the 3.5-inch screen on iPhone 4S. However, experts are still not commenting whether the iPhone 5 will be larger in both length and breadth or will it only be the height.

Now, there are mockups available suggesting a taller Retina display so that iOS 6 will have the capability to add one extra row of apps icons on the iPhone 5 home screen. Meaning increasing the number from 4 rows per page to 5 rows beside the row of pinned icons on the dock.

The mockups suggested by Overdrive Design depicts how widely used iOS apps would look like on an iPhone 5 four-inch screen. Besides display size some sources are even suggesting the resolution to be of 640 x 1152 at the same time maintaining the hardware dimensions on-line with the current models.

Experts are finding the timing for such offers and sales quite interesting, either the sellers are trying to boost the sales, or they are simply interested in clearing the stock just before a big release, which surely is iPhone 5. Recent posts on major tech sites have indicated that Apple’s sixth-generation iPhone is not going to get unveiled until October 2012, following the path of iPhone 4S. However, if you consider the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS schedule, then the next iPhone 5 is coming this June.

Apple iOS starting from the version five has not yet proven satisfactory with users who complained that the battery backup has deteriorated ever since upgrading to the new firmware. Initially, it was people blamed the iPhone 4S hardware for the poor performance giving clean chit to the operating system. However, when owners of the iPhone 4 complained that they are also experiencing the same battery issue, experts focused on the iOS 5 for the problem.

The iPhone company starting working on fresh bug-free version of iOS for the public after acknowledging that there’s truly a problem, which iOS 5.0 and subsequent version releases were not pretty much as good at conserving the battery juice. However, the newest release, iOS 5.1.1, wasn’t really, free from complain as iPhone owners are reporting improved battery performance, on the other hand, iPad users are complaining about the battery backup on iOS 5.1.1.

However, ever since the iOS 5.1.1 has been released to the masses; people are verifying a enhanced battery backup on iPhone 4S and iPhone 4. Some have reported improvement as very dramatic, especially on Apple’s latest tablet iPad 3. Others on previous iPad models have reported degraded battery performance after upgrading to the iOS 5.1.1. There is also a group that claims that the new iOS has no effect on battery performance at all.

While all this points to battery existence being just what we understood it absolutely was, that is unpredictable, I am in a position to only really report on my own experience. The improved iOS 5.1.1 on iPhone 4S is giving long battery backup every day on one charge, with relatively hefty usage, including apps with push notifications, emails, calendar visits and more.

iTranslate offers a notable 31 languages in the menu; however, not every language in the list is supported for both text-to-speech as well as voice recognition. You must have the internet before translating as presently the app does not support offline translation.

Apple has released the latest iOS 5.1.1 firmware update which you can easily ignore as it does not include any major feature or bug fix. However, for owners of unlocked GSM iPhone 4S using GEVEY Ultra, there is one good news confirmed by AppleNBerry that upgrading to the new iOS does not affect the unlock status of the iPhone.

For individuals utilizing their iPhone consistent with the company’s objective, there shouldn’t be concerned in updating to the most recent iOS 5.1.1 update; however, if you are one belonging to the jailbreak community and rely on software based unlock like Ultrasn0w, then you must stay away from the update. On the other hand, iPhone 4S users who’re presently enjoying the SIM based network unlock via GEVEY Ultra S then you can comfortably update to the new firmware as it will not create any issue.

One of the great benefits of using the GEVEY Ultra S option is the fact the solution does not require a jailbreak, a factor that delights apple iphone 4S entrepreneurs because right now, there is no jailbreak designed for the apple iphone 4S running on iOS 5.1.1. The iPhone 4S owner, who is probably not familiar with this method, the GEVEY interposer utilizes an exploit that allows the apple iphone 4S being fully unlocked.

The latest generation of GEVEY SIM makes iPhone unlocking as simple as booting the iPhone with the SIM card of your liking attached with the GEVEY Ultra S, and you will get your handset unlocked within minutes. The fact the system does not need to be jailbroken is clearly a massive help to numerous potential unlockers, and for that reason in situations such as this when no jailbreak could be acquired, people clients could benefit from the additional features of iOS.

Now, it has been confirmed that you can jailbreak iOS 5.1.1 using latest Redsn0w, which works on all the A4 powered iDevices including apple iphone 4, iPad 1, ipod device touch 4G and below. Earlier it was confirmed by MuscleNerd that the newly released iOS 5.1.1 is vulnerable to the exploits already available.

However, as the iOS 5.1.1 is only a small update, you can stay safe by ignoring it and better wait for the iOS 6, which is coming with long list of features and updates. But in addition for people who want to get rid of any issues they might have been facing with the previous update they can surely update to iOS 5.1.1 and use Redsn0w to jailbreak the same.

It can be termed listed as one of the fastest iOS jailbreak ever, and i0nic, who has successfully tamed the new iOS 5.1.1 has even posted the image of his iPad 3 running Cydia. Usually it is advised to avoid Apple’s iOS updates released, till the jailbreakk community confirms that the newly released iOS can be jailbroken. However, Redsn0w achievement is suggesting that you can now update your A4-powered iDevices to iOS 5.1.1 without worrying about losing jailbreak.

Cydia has just received a top jailbreak app that brings the concept visualized only a day ago into a reality. The idea was merely released in the form of a video which showed a much more intuitive approach to editing text. The idea provides a better way to highlight, select and edit text on Apple iPad.

Taking the leaf from the idea a smart jailbreak developer has published his own iPhone app called SwipeSelection to Cydia app store. The good thing about this new Cydia app is that it exactly imitates the functionality demonstrated in the video.

SwipeSelection jailbreak app is based on the principle that makes the highlighting, selecting and editing of text much more intuitive on the iPhone and iPad. To make the process easier the app utilizes a number of swipe gestures, a thing that Apple employs thoroughly on the iOS operating system.

Apple has a history of paying little attention to text editing tools and has always borrowed the ideas from the jailbreak community, and therefore, the official technique is outdated and not popular among users.

Once installed, the SwipeSelection app attaches itself to the core of the iOS editing system, and does not add any extra icon to activate the feature. The jailbreak app is undoubtedly an exact enactment from the idea shown in the video, and therefore, it adds three main text highlighting approaches. Swiping across the text with the single finger enables you to effectively move the cursor towards the preferred location on-screen, something which switches that old tapping on the text and then holding, which is not always easy to achieve.

Additionally, using two fingers swiping gesture will offer you exactly the same feature but is going to do so in a faster rate. Tapping and holding shift key and swiping over the text using single finger reveals the number of words and characters, permitting the user to cut, copy and paste using the action menu pop-up. The fast, user-friendly gestures which are implemented through the app will certainly make text editing a easier than the stock method provided by Apple.

The SwipeSelection app is currently available absolutely free on the Cydia via BigBoss repo.
