Apple has finally patched the gaping lockscreen hole in iOS 6.1, but in the process it's also killed-off the exploits used by Evad3rs for their Evasi0n jailbreak. In fact, Cupertino went as far as to credit the jailbreakers for finding the four of the six holes. If you're running a jailbroken iPhone or iPad, don't update, for now. Read More >>
After testing it in beta, Apple is finally releasing iOS 6.1.3 to iPhone users. The update finally fixes that gaping hole of a security flaw that let anyone bypass the iPhone's lock screen even if it had a passcode on it. Read More >>

Apple's iOS 6.1 lockscreen is basically Swiss cheese, it's so full of holes, and now Android's being hit with something similar. You can apparently bypass Samsung Galaxy Note 2's lockscreen, be it PIN, pattern, password, or face-unlock protected, with a quick couple of button presses. Read More >>
If you thought getting access to your phone's dialler, contacts, and even photos was bad enough from a supposedly secure, locked iPhone, how about access to everything on the device? Yeah, things just got even worse for Apple's steaming pile of iOS 6.1. Read More >>

If you've got bugs in your products you'd assume the company who made them is going to fix them, but it's reassuring that Apple's come out and said it specifically. Apparently Cupertino's identified the bug that's killing iOS 6.1 iPhone batteries, and is in the process of crushing the life out of it. Meanwhile, here's what you have to do to stop it for now.

Let's just say iOS 6.1 hasn't been Apple's finest hour. So far it's been plagued with connection issues, battery woes, and now it's totally insecure. You can simply bypass any lockcode on an iPhone using a pretty straightforward sequence of button presses. Oh Apple, what the hell happened here? Read More >>

By the looks of it, Apple's latest and greatest iOS 6.1 update has broken quite a few things. Vodafone's having issues, and apparently it's destroyed the battery life of quite a few people's iPhones, according to Apple's message boards at least. Has anyone seen a drop in battery life? Read More >>

This might be a little bit too late, but Vodafone's warning iPhone users to steer clear of the latest iOS 6.1 update as it apparently causes issues with 3G data, texts and calls -- basically everything, then. Apparently Apple's working on a fix, but who knows how long that'll take. Read More >>

After literally millions of people jumped on the super-simple Evasi0n jailbreak, and pretty much overwhelmed Cydia, the Evad3rs have been tracking down and squashing bugs like warring Trojans. So it's time to check for updates, either through Cydia or Evasi0n.com to crush any issues. Oh, and the awesome SBSettings got an update too while you're in there. [Twitter] Read More >>
So you must have heard about jailbreaking by now. Maybe you already hopped right on the long-awaited iOS 6.1 jailbreak for iPhone 5, or maybe jailbreaking is just something you're vaguely aware of. Now is as good a time as any to dive in head first, and you should consider giving it a shot. Read More >>

Talk about a damn tease. A group of jailbreakers, known as the Evad3rs, has just shown off the world's first iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1 jailbreak, that'll unshackle everything but the new Apple TV. Here it is, but you'll have to wait till sodding Sunday to actually use it. Read More >>
