iPhone 1.1.3 Features and Screenshots?
- Thread starter Chris Grande
- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
I have tested both in every possible scenario because MMS is the ONLY thing I need that the iPhone doesn't have and I NEVER once got sending an MMS on the iPhone to work, receiving just through the iPhones email, yes, but sending NO, NOT once in any scenario did it work right.
Nice - but as said before it seems more like a hacked 1.1.2 with a new app than 1.1.3...and as also said why hasn't AAPlL already clamped down on the website?
Anyway I'm not saying it's real or not, but if real, it seems that 1.1.3 has set a record for being jailbreak'd if that video was real - it's happened before it has even been released!
P.S. Can we see some more 1.1.3 features via video?
According to Gizmodo, Nate is actually Natetrue, the author of iBrickr.
After having corresponded with him, Gizmodo seems very convinced that the update is authentic:
http://gizmodo.com/338948/iphone-fi...update-is-real-breaks-unlock-third+party-apps
saw that..if true then AAPL are obviously fighting a losing battle, with the update out there should be a jailbreak for it as soon as it becomes official...why not throw in the white flag now Steve?
It's not a losing battle - Apple can't care about the 1% of people who hack their iPhone, their job is to make it hard enough that the other 99% don't do it, and keep paying ATT cash. Like any antipiracy measure, the goal is not that 1%, it's the 99%.
I think there may be some sample bias here. Nobody, literally nobody that I know has ever sent a multi-recip text. Only two have ever sent an MMS. We take pictures and then share the non-crappy-MMS-quality original with flickr or our blogs or whatever. Just sayin'... each person's experience in their circle of friends is not reflective of larger trends.
Recent surveys have shown that less than a third of users of MMS-capable phones have ever sent an MMS text, and the number is declining. It sucks, and people are using better alternatives.
Anyone still think its a fake now?? lol excellent
Update: Second thoughts I'm having my own doubts again. This is one helluva roller-coaster ride of a rumor. Hats off to the culprit if it turns out to be fake.

You know, I'm starting to think that if it is real, then Apple isn't shutting it down because they just can't. If its anything like my company, Steve and a bunch of the other execs are all off in far away places on vacation, perhaps hearing about this, perhaps not, and either way not able to get together to make a decision to take legal action. Heck, the poor guys were probably trying to get a break from all of this and are getting annoying urgent work e-mails, their spouses are getting pissed off at them for not getting away from work while on vacation... I digress.
Using this same logic, I really don't think that an update is imminent. Nothing will happen until at least Thursday. Most likely the poor schleps (or maybe the wise ones) that actually came in to work on New Years Eve are going to be goofing off and not making a major software release. Also, Wednesday will be a big day off for people. I don't see anything happening till at least Thursday and far more likely till Macworld.
I don't know a single person that has not jailbroken their iPod touch. I've met regular people on the internet and in person at stores and even nearby friends of mine have jailbroken iPod touch's. So, who the heck is using an unjailbroken iPod? Maybe it's because I hang out with geeks... I don't know... hehe.
You must not know many lawyers
All it takes is one (that would be Apple's head counsel or something, someone who doesn't need SJ's approval to send a C&D letter out) to send the OK. And whether on a beach or at the top of a mountain somewhere, the lawyers always have the Blackberry (whoops!) on and buzzing 
I don't understand why they haven't posed a picture of the firmware itself in the iphone settings.
Although this does seem very legit, these people are putting up all their established roles in the community, and if it turns out to actually be legit, then grats.
I think it's real.

Fraid so
People on these forums tend to have very little contact with "real" people. My business is in helping people with these things, and I can tell that none of my 500+ individual clients would even know what jailbreaking is.
Hey guys - ANdru Edwards here. I am the guy that runs Gear Live, and the person who took and posted the images.
In an earlier thread I told people to email me any of their 1.1.3 questions, and since then I have gotten hundreds. I am figuring, a better way for me to manage this is to have you guys post them in our thread so that I can follow them all in one place, along with everyone else, as opposed to just having them get lost in the shuffle in my Inbox.
We set up this thread for your 1.1.3 questions:

We are working on a video now, showing all features. And yes, we will post the freaking About screen showing that it is, indeed, 1.1.3.

I only see one reason to upgrade
Google Maps Locator would be the only impetus for upgrading... Everything else can be done just as well by Jailbreaking. FYI, I've used Navizon, but I find it clunky and unreliable... I'd rather have it integrated directly into google map app.
What else would I want... Copy/Paste! and Flash! Spell correction options! Instant Messaging!
I wouldn't be surprised though if this turned out to be 1.1.4, and 1.1.3 came out with only a few of the features. Most of these features are already there just not in use directly (pagination of the home screen for example).

A link to this so called research would be nice.
I have one that says otherwise.

Assuming your a guy - would you bet both your testicles that this is a fake?
If so, I'm sure that George Micheal would be willing to take them away from you!
I think you should probably reassess whether the issue we're "debating" is really worthy of the importance you're giving it. I mean really, do you get a check if the pictures are real? You're just rooting for something to happen, and you're willing to take it to that level? Really?
Fraid so
Didn't Apple estimate about 250,000 iPhones purchased for unlock. Don't know about you, but to me that's a significant number of jailbroken iPhones, and that's not including iPod Touch. Sounds like the only thing "real" about the people you're dealing with is they are "really" lame.

Jailbreaking and Unlocking the iPhone are not the same thing, though some processes might require one or the other.
The majority of those Unlocked iPhone sales went to people who buy the phone , unlock them and sell them to people outside the U.S. So it's not a reflection of how common Jailbreaking is. Just how many people want an iPhone that don't live in the U.S. or other authorized country.
