The disastrous iOS 8.0.1 update that curtailed users’ cellular signals and created other bugs earlier this week may have a connection to another major glitch in recent history: the shaky rollout of Apple Maps .

The details are still dripping out, but it seems a hacker called ‘Oleg Pliss’ is accessing peoples iPhones by using your Apple iCloud account and invoke the ‘Find My iPhone’ service.’ Oleg will then lock your phone and charge you £55 to unlock it.

This has been a rough few days for Apple. A ‘goto fail’ hole appeared in the OS that lets people defect a security server key which lets them do .. well not sure. From a quick read of the code, seems like if you can get a false handshake to work then depending on the… Read More

Funny thing, I have been using the iphone since day 1. I have been jailbreaking for almost as long. However, once the iphone 5 and my first view of iOS7 surfaced, I started to question if I wanted to keep playing this cat and mouse game of jailbreaking, reinstalling everything, losing some functionally because the… Read More
I have been using the iphone 4 for a long time now. It works well. I had it jailbroken and customized to do what I want. Never did update to the iPhone 4S and also skipped out on the five because I was too invested in the old docking station. So much so, I had… Read More

Well this came from nowhere. I guess they do not want to give iPhone users any more reason to get another iPhone instead of a Windows phone, but Office is Microsoft’s biggest profit product, and they know they need to move to the cloud with 360, so they bit the bullet and released an iPhone… Read More
