Apple Is Working On Crack-Resistant Glass For Future Devices (PATENT)

The iPhone, since its launch back in 2007, has received a lot of praise thanks to its software, high-resolution camera, display screens, ease of use and more but there has been one thing that disturbs iPhone users, the fast damage of its front and back glass panels. Apple actually is working on solving this problem.

According to PatentlyApple, it has been revealed that Apple is currently working on developing crack-resistant glass for future devices. The patent describes the method of developing crack resistant glass solutions for iPhone, there are many ways to do thing but only a couple work.

iDownloadBlog gives a quick description:

The first one involves disposing a tunable shock mount between the cover glass and the main body. This would dampen the blow of a drop because it isolates the glass from the rest of the device. It would also help protect against water damage.

The second method is more complex, and pertains to a retractable glass cover that can sense when the device has been dropped. Using an actuator, control module, and sensors, the cover glass would be able to retract itself in the event that it detected a drop.

Hope this comes to the iPhone 5.

Stay Away From iOS 5.0.1 If You Want Future Jailbreak For iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iOS 5 Untethered

Two days ago, a very dangerous flaw in the security system for iOS was discovered by security researcher Charlie Miller which allow any app to be remotely download and execute malicious, system-level code on an iPhone. Apple, just few hours after the flaw was known, banned the app developer and may release iOS 5.0.1 for public very soon to fix this security flaw.

The iPhone hacker pod2g few days ago announced that he found a bug in iOS 5 which will allow untethered jailbreak on the software. After founding the security flaw mentioned above, the iOS 5 jailbreak and iPhone 4S jailbreak became  “dramatically easier.” as tweeted by pod2g.

That’s why I’m writing this post; to tell you that you’ve to stay away and don’t update to iOS 5.0.1 when it’s released to the public very soon. iOS 5.0.1 will surely fix the security flaw found by Miller which means that jailbreaking will be even more difficult.

Pod2g has been asked about how will people get the battery fix included in iOS 5.0.1, pod2g said:

some dev may create a package on Cydia containing the differences between 5.0 and 5.0.1.

We’ve seen iPhone 4S and iPad 2 already jailbroken on iOS 5 by the iPhone Dev Team. Founding exploits now became more easier with this security flaw. An iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and iOS 5 untethered jailbreak are now on the horizon.

In brief, if you really care about the next iOS 5 jailbreak on all devices including the 4S and the 2nd-generation iPad, you’d better prevent yourself from updating to iOS 5.0.1.

If you found this post useful, hopefully hit the +1 (recommend) button ?
