According to reports on 9to5Mac, Apple is testing a prototype of a new iPhone. This prototype is mounted with a variant of A5X processor, which is already present in the new iPad and suppose that will have less power consumption to extend the autonomy of the device as possible. It makes little sense to put the A5X on an iPhone when that processor is born only to move the new iPad Retinal Display with ease.

Lastly, it’s possible that the iPhone 6 will use an upgraded version of the A5X and not the quad-core A6 chip many were expecting. Since Nvidia released it’s quad-core Tegra 3, there’s been a lot of back and forth between mobile processor makers about which is better–a quad-core chip based on older ARM Cortex-A9 processors or a dual-core chip based on the newer ARM Cortex-A15 processors. We’ll have to wait until the next generation iPhone comes out to see what Apple thinks.

As with the new iPhone, this iPhone prototype has 1GB of RAM versus the 512 MB ​​iPhone 4/4S. This is a test model labeled under the name of N96 that has been created to see how it behaves this processor on an iPhone so it does not mean the end mass produced. In regard to the iPod Touch, it seems that Apple is also working on the fifth generation model (iPod 5.1)as shown by a build of iOS 5.1. We do not know if this new iPod Touch will inherit the current A5 or if Apple will wait to introduce this variant of A5X.

Eric Schmidt, Google chief executive, has defended before a committee of Congress antitrust United States that the new voice assistant introduced by Apple in the iPhone 4S, Siri, is a competitive threat in the world of Internet search, field Google reigns in from the beginning. Siri system revolutionizes the search, because we only have to press a key or bring your phone to your ear and use our voice to find all types of Internet content.

According to Eric Schmidt, Siri could be a “Google Killer”, the technology launched by Apple is a great great progress in the field of artificial intelligence and that Syria could be just the first step that Apple makes the search engine market entry on the web.

Even in the weeks since the hearing Few, Apple HAS entirely new approach to Launched year search technology with Siri, ITS voice-activated search service and task-completion built into the iPhone 4S. Apple’s Siri is a Significant development has voice-activated iPhones Means of accessing answers through the Innovations That demonstrates the search. Many strong competitors and Google HAS Sometimes We fail to advance the competitive threat by New Methods of accessing possess information.

Schmidt’s statements come in the context in which he was trying to provide Google as a company not so strong in the U.S. market. Schmidt is trying to highlight the power of its competitors, claiming that Google has a monopoly on web search engine market. It was rumored that Siri would seriously affect the revenue collected by Google in the ads because users do not access google.com searches but to make direct use Wolfram Alpha platform using Siri. Personally I think that Siri is very far from being a “Google Killer” and I think in the near future we will see a system similar to Android OS.

Apple released Mac OS X 10.6 aka Snow leopard on 28th of August, we published a guide to install Snow Leopard on PC on 26th of August.  Yes you heard it right, we posted a guide to hack Snow leopard two days ahead of scheduled release. Here is the link of very first guide on internet to Install Snow Leopard (10A432) on PC Hackintosh.

Later in 2009 we published a detailed guide to install Snow Leopard in VMWARE 7 and Windows, that post was a super hit and featured on various frontline technology blogs including Lifehacker, Redmond Pie, Stackoverflow and more. Now we got our hands on the very first seed of Mac OS X Lion (thanks to Apple developer program), and we are ready to have some fun.

We are trying to install Mac OS X lion on PC and VMWARE, and you can find all our progress updates and information related to this project on this single page. Bookmark this page, join us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and last but not least, you can also subscribe to our free once in a day e-mail news letter to get all the latest updates on Apple related hacks and news directly in your Inbox. Which will provide you with all the news before anyone else knew about it.

Facts about Mac OS X Lion :

• Apple released a developer’s preview of Lion (Build 11A390) on February 24, 2011, to subscribers of Apple’s developers program.
• Mac OS X Lion is set to be released in summer of 2011.
• Mac OS X Lion requires hardware with a Core 2 Duo processor or better. Dual core processors aren’t supported.
• Rosetta, software which makes possible the execution of PowerPC software on x86 hardware, is no longer available. So far best way to run it seems to be VMware fusion.

iPhone Dev team just released Ultrasn0w 1.2 unlock for iPhone 3G an 3GS. Latest release of Ultrsn0w supports baseband 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01, 05.13.04 and now 06.15.00. Strange but true iOS 4.1 baseband 05.14.02 and iOS 4.2 .1 baseband 05.15.04 are not supported with Ultrsn0w 1.2 But if you are stuck on Baseband 05.14.02 or 05.15.04 you can update your baseband to 06.15.00 and enjoy the Ultrasn0w unlock.

This time the procedure is very  different, first  you have to upgrade the baseband of the iPhone with the iPad 3.2.2 firmware and then you can unlock the phone with Ultrasn0w part, through Cydia. Following are the guides to update your baseband to 06.15.00

1. Upgrade iPhone 3G, 3GS Baseband 06.15.00 with PwnageTool Unlock Edition (Mac)
2. Guide to Update Baseband 06.15.00 With Redsn0w (Windows and Mac)
3. Unlock iPhone 3G, 3GS Baseband 05.14.02 or 05.15.04 with Ultrasn0w

Theory : iPhone 3G/3GS baseband is same to iPad 3G. Apple blocked AT+XAPP hole with baseband 5.14.02 and 05.15.04 but the hole is still vulnerable with iPad 3G iOS 3.2.2 baseband 06.15.00 and the theory is to update your baseband to 06.15.00 and use the latest ultrasn0w to unlock.

Drawbacks : There are obvious drawbacks to this unlock method. Update the baseband to 06.15.00 is irreversible. Furthermore, it is not possible to update to future versions of the baseband, unless a higher version number than 06.15.00 This also means that you can expect problems if you try to update to official firmware versions from 4.2.1 IOS.

Warning : Certainly don’t update to 06.15 if you don’t need to!  Only do this if you need the unlock and you’re stuck on 05.14 or 05.15, and you’re willing to assume the above risks.

Snow Leopard is released and all the Hackintosheers are waiting eagerly to run the latest version of Mac OS X 10.6 on their PC a.k.a Hack Pro. This guide is for those who already have a running OSX86. This guide is possible due to following persons in no order SaCleoCheater (For his thread on InfiniteMac), PCWiZ & Hara Taiki (For Awesome Tools), OSX86 Island (For breaking the first install build 10A261), Netkas (No need to Introduction), Chameleon Team (For a great Boot-Loader), TeknoJunkies (For such a great guide) and all the OSX86 community without whom it’s not possible.

In the following tutorial we used  Snow Leopard build 10A432 GM release (now confirmed that retail disc is build 10A432). Snow Leopard needs a Leopard Install so we need to two hard disk one with Leopard already installed and second hard disk for Snow Leopard. Also you need to download some files needed during the installation so download the files given below. We’ll update these files regularly when the new updates will available.

• Tools MediaFire RapidShare
• Kexts MediaFire RapidShare
• Chameleon 2.0 + EFI 10 MediaFire RapidShare
• Chameleon 1.0 + EFI 10 MediaFire RapidShare
• Misc MediaFire RapidShare
• Mac OS X 10.6 Snow leopard (Google is Your F.R.I.E.N.D.)

____________________________________________________________________________________

Phase One

____________________________________________________________________________________

Step One). Connect both of your Hard Disk one is blank and one is pre loaded with Leopard (10.5.X) already. Boot in to Leopard and launch Disk Utility to partition your second hard-disk with GUID partition scheme. Name the partition what ever you want in this tutorial we assumed Snow.

• Make sure that the new volume’s root directory is owned by the root user, just perform the following commands in terminal.

sudo –s

chown 0:0 /Volumes/Snow

Step Two). Mount the Snow Leopard DMG File, an installer window will appear here click on the free space anywhere in windows then press CMD + Shift + G . A little window will appear in the top of existing window in this little window type “Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/” without quotes as given in image below and press Go.

Step Three). In the next window find the OSInstall.mpkg and double click this package file to start your Snow leopard Installation.

Note : Default OSInstall.mpkg works for GUID partitioned drive only, if you need to install on MBR then google for Modified OSInstall.mpkg for MBR, download modified one and replace with default one.

Step Four). Follow the On Screen instruction and in Destination Select Choose the Snow Partition which you created on a separate blank hard disk.

Step Five). In customization remove the unnecessary languages and Printers. Sit back and have a cup of coffee installation will take 15-25 minutes depending on your hardware. Once Installation finishes don’t reboot and follow the instruction care fully in phase 2.

Phase Two

____________________________________________________________________________________

In the second phase we’ll install Bootloader, some must required Kexts, System Files and Patching the DSDT.

Step One). Open the Chameleon Bootloader Zip you downloaded earlier and install the Chameleon-2-1.0-r431.pkg and then install the Chameleon v2 Snow Leopard Support.pkg (If Snow Support Package Shows an Error Then Follow Step Two) . Make sure to install the both Chameleon packages to Snow Drive (Where you Installed the Snow Leopard). You can change the install location at the third option while Installation in both packages.

( If Chameleon 2.0 + EFI 10 gives you Kernel Panics then reinstall and try Chameleon 1.0 + EFI 10)

Step Two). If you are using PCEFI bootloader on your existing system then Chameleon v2 Snow Leopard Support.pkg will not work for you. In that case you have two options either install the Chameleon-2-1.0-r431.pkg over your current 10.5.X Installation then reboot and do the process again (from Phase One). Or launch the “ShowAllFiles” (included in Tools) and click Show. Then Navigate to the root of your “Snow” Drive and delete the “boot” file you see. and replace it with the boot file included with Chameleon Download (you downloaded earlier). After replacing the boot file again launch the “ShowAllFiles” and click Hide.

Step Three). Now patch your DSDT, launch the DSDT Patcher (Included in Tools) and select Darwin/Mac OS X in Operating System, Select DSDT Patch in options and before hitting the Run DSDT Patcher button make sure to change the destination as Snow Drive (Where you Installed the Snow Leopard).

Step Four). Now put all the “kext file” you downloaded earlier and you can also add yours if you needed into  /Snow/Extra/Extensions, and copy the Extensions folder in Extra to the desktop, and drag it over “Kext Utility” which you downloaded. Kext utility will repair your permission and generate a new Extension.mkext. Move that Extensions folder and the extension.mkext back to /Snow/Extra

Step Five). Now launch EFiStudio and look for your Video Card through the drop down menu. Click add device and you will see some alphanumeric numbers, copy these numbers. Add the following code to your com.apple.boot.plist in /Snow/Extra.

<key>Graphics Mode</key>

<string>1280x1024x32 </string>

<key>device-properties</key>

<string>Alphanumeric code you generated with EFiStudio</string>

Save and Exit…
Step Six). Final Step put the SMBios.plist into /Snow/Extra.

Step Seven). Must for those who added any driver kext to Snow/System/Library/Extension, This step will rebuild the Extensions.mkext cache while booted in Snow Leopard. Reboot and go to Single User mode by typing this flag.

-x32 –s

When you are in the console, type the following command

/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mnt -uw /
kextcache -v 1 -t -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions/

Disclaimer : All the instruction and Files are correct in my information. Use this guide on your own risk, we are not responsible for any kind of damage (If Any). Use this guide for experimental purposes only if you likes the Mac then buy a new one

It takes days and hours of me to make this guide as easiest and advanced for you, In cash-back i need only a Digg to the story. So guys go ahead and add your count at the top right hand of the corner where the post starts….

For those who are getting Kernel Panics try to boot in 32 bit Mode + Safe mode using following Boot flag.

-x32 –v –x -f

• For complete list of Boot & ACPI Flags Check HERE.
• Also check our previous article on How to Read, Understand and Solve Kernel Panic Screen
• A must read fo clearing most of your doubt Basics of OSX86 for Noobs.

1. Some Quick fixes are if you are stuck on Waiting for DSMOS then simply delete the DSMOS kext in Snow/Extra/Extensions but make sure you must have FakeSMC kext.
2. If you are stuck on RTL8169E error then Disable Hardware LAN in your BIOS and boot again. We are collecting and making a list of Snow leopard supported drivers so stick with us.
3. If you have an IDE drive or your laptop contains IDE drive then Install AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext by Netkas to make your ATA/IDE work in Snow Leopard. This kext is useful for ICH6/7/8/9/10 with ahci disabled and for lappies too. This kext also helps IOATAFamily related error causing Kernel Panic.

We’ll Update this page time to time with the latest information so stick with us and keep playing with your selection of kexts.
