iPhone 3GS selling out in AT&T

A couple of weeks ago iPhone 4S was released and along with that release we saw the newly changed contract plans for the earlier versions of  iPhones the iPhone4 and iPhone 3GS,with the iPhone 3GS made virtually free of cost with a 2 years contract.

“We continue to bring in more subscribers onto our network with pure data plans,” AT&T Mobility Chief Executive Officer Ralph de la Vegasaid. “18 million, or nearly half of our smartphone subscribers, are on tiered plans with most choosing the higher priced data plan.”

So apart from the iPhone 4S sells which are overwhelming with most of the carriers sold out and store sells are going reservations only,even the legacy models like the iPhone 3GS which is now free on contract is doing well last time AT&T checked the 3GS are selling out all over the United States.So the Free on Contract thing is working out quite well even though it’s a 2 generation old version of the iPhone.

The current status of activations on the AT&T network sees almost 56 % of the activations made for all the iPhone’s combined,that is the iPhone4,iPhone3GS and the newly launched iPhone 4S,with over 1 million iPhone4S activations already.

‘Assistant’ – Apple’s first Ad for iPhone 4S

Apple has known to be quite aggressive when it comes to marketing its products. This time around they were a bit late releasing an ad for its iPhone 4S.

Apple Ads are very popular for their unique style and their high class look just as their products. I have always enjoyed watching Apple ads and even look forward to the next one.

Apple just launched a new Ad for its iPhone 4S titled ‘Assistant’. There’s no surprise that it showcases the most notable feature of 4S – ‘Siri‘!

You can watch the Ad below:

Over the past few days we have been hearing about the rumors of the next version of the Mac Book Pros getting ready for a launch soon.With the supplies of current models of Mac Book Pro almost getting the Out Of Stock lable everywhere this was bound to happen sooner rather than later.

 

If the reports from 9to5Mac are to be believed the launch can happen as early as next week. Though the newer one’s are said to be sporting the existing design and surprise surprise they are also said to have the same price tag as their current counterparts. The only difference we will get to see is in the hardware department with faster processors  and newer version of Bluetooth i.e 4.0. The new Mac Book Pro’s are likely to be released in the next 2-3days of time.

[How to] Transfer Apps Between Macs

Transferring applications from one Mac to another has been made very simple with the introduction of the Mac App Store and can be done entirely through the App Store itself. This is due to the Mac App Stores licensing agreement, which allows you to download and install Mac OS X apps on all of your personal machines, although they must all share the same Apple ID. Also, you can transfer apps manually over a network or with an external USB drive, but that method does not work with all apps and hence is not entirely recommended.

[How to] Unlock A Password Protected iPad 2 With Magnet Or Smart Cover

In today’s world where such emphasis is laid upon security, be it a corporate firm or an individual, all are very much aware of what all things can happen if their private information somehow reaches in the hands of wrong people. Here we will see how the iPad2 users need to be careful of because of a security flaw that has emerged in iOS5.

The security flaw is  such that, anyone with a Smart Cover or magnet can break into your “password-protected” iPad 2′s locked passcode screen and access whatever app was previously left open. The person who unlocks your iPad 2 will not have complete access to your iPad, but will be able to gain access to whatever you locked your iPad 2 on. If your iPad 2 was previously in Mail, Safari, Messages, Contacts, or Maps, then you can imagine the sorts of personal information that can be viewed on your iPad and what other consequences you will face. If you left your iPad 2 on its home screen, the person can view which applications you have on your device, control media from the multitasking bar, but not much else.

From a locked iPad 2:

  • Hold down the power button until the the slider appears across the top
  • Close the iPad 2′s Smart Cover or swing a magnet over the magnetic points around the screen rim, then remove the Smart cover or magnet
  • Click “Cancel” at the bottom of the lock screen

The passcode bypass was discovered by 9to5mac, who recorded a video demonstrating the security flaw:
