I just hope Rogers releases the same day as the Americans. |
Same, I hope the final production model has a few cleaner lines with no seams like this one has in a few places. One of the best things I like about iphones as opposed to all other phones Ive had are the clean lines, and lack of seams and cracks which love to collect pocket lint and dust.
Im willing to bet they went to the metal square shaped housing because of the outrageous amount of warranty returns due to pressure cracks on the old design. |

Next Gen iPhone Prototype: 1GHz Apple A4 Processor, 256MB RAM Confirmed
The teardown of the second next generation iPhone prototype discovered in Vietnam had revealed the possibility of iPad’s A4 chip in the fourth generation iPhone.
Folks at iFixit have just sent us an email to confirm that the processor revealed in the photos of the next generation iPhone is Apple’s A4 processor. They have also confirmed that Apple’s new iPhone will come with 256MB RAM.
Folks at iFixit tell us that the part numbers of the processor revealed in the photos are legitimate. They explain:
The silkscreen on the production A4 reads:
APL0398 339S0084 YNL215X0 K4X2G643GE N26CGM0T
The leaked prototype has these markings:
APL0398 339S0084 YNE07423 K4X2G643GE GSA1400A
The two numbers that are different are likely manufacturing numbers (each lot of chips is stamped with a unique number to track them through the supply chain).
The important numbers are:
APL0398 339S0084 is the part number of Apple A4
K4X2G643GE is the part number for 256 MB Samsung DRAM (two dies)
Apple’s A4 chip is a 1GHz SoC while iPhone 3GS CPU runs at 600Mhz. However, it looks like the new iPhone will have the same amount of RAM available in iPhone 3GS and iPad.
Engadget also reports that this second iPhone 4G prototype is labeled as "N90 PRO2" while Gizmodo’s iPhone prototype was labeled “N90 DVT”. We know that “N90” is Apple’s codename for the fourth-generation GSM iPhone and “DVT” stands for “design verification test”, an Apple production milestone. MacRumors speculates that PRO could stand for prototype or production.
MacRumors has also published the translated impressions of the next iPhone prototype (originally written in Vietnamese), which is an interesting read:
iPhone 4G has a totally new design in comparing with previous generations of iPhone. Not only looking stronger (aluminum and glass) when holding in your hand, you will be surprise to think that it was put together by several separate parts because it feels like a solid block. Because of the square/block design, it feels a little uncomfortable in your hand in comparing with the previous generation of iPhone. You can feel the sharp edges come in contact with your hand.
There is no longer a metal bezel on the front, only a black surface. The back design is also the same, a single piece of glass convering all the Logo, camera, flash, and other information...look very classy. We can see that the front and back are pieces of glass that were attached to the aluminum frame. When looking at another angel, people will see that aluminum frame was brilliantly made; a lot of attention to the details, thing like speakers, earphone, mic.... Beside the only home button in the front, there is another small camera right on the left of the speaker, under the glass surface.
The 4 edges contain the same buttons with the same functions as the previous iPhones. The volume buttons are now separate and are round. Next to the headphone plug and power button, there a small hole, which looks like a mic's hole. It's possible that this is the noice canceling mic. The SIM card has been moved to the right side, like on the iPad.
Dimension: iPhone 4G is thinner than the previous iPhones (about 2.5mm), the width is also narrower, about 3.5mm (this is because of the aluminum frame), the height is about 1mm higher. These changes have made the new iPhone looks longer or higher.
When turning on the iPhone, only the inferno screen is showed and some information that look like command lines. Perhap this screen showed up not because of Apple remotely locked the machine but the phone is locked locally after a time interval without the user entering a certain code.
Let us know your thoughts on what could be Apple’s new iPhone in the comments. |

I am trying to install MyWi (No Rock) using Cydia but I keep getting the following error:
http://apt.modmyi.com
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
I have verified that ModMyi.com is a listed package I have installed and I have tried to reinstall that. I also tried to add the source http://apt.modmyi.com but that gives me an error.
Any ideas? |

Hey guys
heres a question that i thought you guys might help me answer.
I travel to the states alot and want to use the data only feature given to US Ipad users on my iphone.
I have seen some youtube clips already posted by people who have successfully paid for an ipad microsim, activated it and bought an unlimited plan, then changed some APN settings on their phone, and then put it into their iphones for Data only usage.
Can we do this with our iphones if we unlock it and activate an ipad data plan in the states, follow the same rules and then use their data without paying roaming fees? Are IEMI numbers on chips or the phone? Would Rogers or Fido find out whats happening if its done? Or It doesnt matter becuase its a totally different chip thats being used??
Its much better option than paying $30 for 20 Megabytes of data that Fido and rogers offers for data raoming. I think its so worth paying $15 bucks and get 250 megs of data for the week. |

1) Why wouldn't it work when your unlocked?
2) Why would you be roam while running a AT&T sim, on the AT&T network?
3) Take out your sim and tell me if your IMEI changes or not?
Better change your APN back to normal after the unauthorize "settings" once you arrive back to Canada. |

There's a thing called - "Network Reset" in settings, try it right now.
APN - Access Point Name
Used for gaining access points to certain data connections depending on the network settings. |

ohh ok.. Cool
I didn't know it was that easy as resetting the network settings.. Becuase in the video it was a couple steps to change..
Thanks! If I do try this out..and it works.. This would be sweet.
But I have to wait until the next jailbreak has an unlock option. Currently there isn't an unlocking for spirit from what I know. |

Why are you going through all this hassle to pay $30.00 month for data on the AT&T network?
Just get the North American Wide Data plans on Rogers & Fido
Regular Data
$35 - 500MB, 25cent / mb over
$40 - 1GB, 25cent / mb over
Flex Data
$45 - 500MB
$60 - 1GB
$95 - 2GB
$130 - 3GB
$190 - 5GB
25cent / mb over |

becuase fido doesn't have the north American option.. I asked them about it there's times. Plus I have the$30 6 gig plan that I use about 3 gigs month...also for $15 bucks I can get 250 mb of data as opposed to paying more.. I stay about a week at a time so it's not worth getting the flex plan.
Hopefully they will be more reasonable with these flex plans with respect to pricing later on.. But theyvdont even havethis for fido :-( |
