  • Apple Testing iPhone For T-Mobile With A5 Processor

    A bunch of photos surfaced recently by BGR shows an unreleased white iPhone 4 device running on T-Mobile USA network. It looks like an iPhone 4, although, the proximity sensor looks different than the one shown in the final white iPhone 4 that’s been already sold in the UK. The device is running an old and internal test version of iOS 4, confirmed by the several Apple internal and field-testing applications like Radar and Apple Connect or the preference panels to measure the performances of the device.

    That’s right, you’re looking at photos of an iPhone prototype with T-Mobile USA 3G bands. The actual internal model is N94, and if you remember, the Verizon model is N92 while the standard GSM variant is N90. We have verified that the phone itself is running a test version of Apple’s iOS, much like the one we saw in those videos from Vietnam, and it includes internal Apple test apps like Radar and Apple’s employee directory app. Additionally, the front of the white iPhone pictured looks a little different from the photos of the retail white iPhone 4 that surfaced recently — specifically, the proximity sensor has changed on the retail version.

    The model number of this iPhone 4 is N94, its related to the A5 chip — which is implemented on the iPad 2. Remember that there is the prototype iPhone with an A5 processor that game developers are using to prepare their iPhone 5 apps. That sounds a lot like this phone. The only question now is if that is a prototype ’4S’ or ’5′.

    Following to Users being unable to sign on or greeted with PSN Error Message 80710A06 when trying to log in to PSN, Sony was investigating the cause of the outages, which began late last night. No word on whether or not this outage is related to the same outage occurrences from earlier this month that was likely spurred on by the hacker group known as Anonymous.

    Sony tonight issued a statement saying the PlayStation Network outage is due to an “external intrusion” but did not clarify beyond that. A timetable for when PSN will be up and running again was also not provided.

    Hacker group Anonymous said today they are not claiming responsibility for this particular outage, however.

    The statement in full from Senior Director of Corporate Communications Patrick Seybold can be read below:

    An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th.

    Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share.

    // Gradly // Apple, blog, Conspiracies, Download, iPhone, Jailbreak, News, Rants & Raves, Tech. No Responses

    Jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich has released a new jailbreak utility called untrackerd, which manages to block iOS and Apple’s ability to track your device’s location information. this application comes after the discovery that Apple’s iPhone keeps track of where you go – and saves every detail of it to a secret file on the device which is then copied to the owner’s computer when the two are synchronised.  which in turn let anybody with access to your phone or computer get detailed information about where you’ve been. Untrackerd is available for free on the Cydia

    Untrackerd’s description in Cydia:

    This package installs a daemon (process that can run in the background) to clean consolidated.db file) No new icons are added to your homescreen. There are no options to configure.
