Also note that this isn’t just an iPhone 4 jailbreak, but actually an iOS 4.1 jailbreak that allows you to gain access to any iOS device to gain access. [Read more…]
Pocket-Lint spotted a white iPhone 4 the other day at a press event. When speaking with the owner of the phone it seems to be that Apple [AAPL] has delayed the launch of the white iPhone 4 due to the white not being correct. For example, the white home button isn’t the same color as the white used for the glass.
With Apple being a perfectionist it has decided that it wont release the phone till everything is 100% right. [Read more…]

The glass back of the iPhone is prone to scratching. Scratching the back is as easy as sitting the phone on a desk and sliding it along.
As well as being able to easily scratch the back, the glass is also scratched when using some third-party cases. This happens when some dust gets trapped between the case and the back of the phone and when the case is slid on or off.
The Apple store has a lack of cases available for the phone and instead, is now just offering the bumper case on the site. [Read more…]
