Apple Promises To Fix The Security Exploit That Lets People Gain Access

Posted on by Jay

In our previous post we had outlined some of the latest features of iOS 6.1 update, mentioning it to be a fix for its old mistakes. But it turns out that, it does have some security flaws which let the users bypass the locked iPhone devices.

This exploit was first spotted by a French user who later uploaded a video to YouTube, by demonstrating the procedure to unlock a pass-code protected iOS device.  Seeing this Apple has promised to release a fast fix to this security issue. In a statement, the company said “Apple takes user security very seriously, we are aware of this issue, and will deliver a fix in a future software update.”  But the company has neither offered a specific timeline for its next update nor any quick fix to the handle issue.

The video depicts a sequence of steps in which the French guy easily hacks the “locked” iPhone, that was running iOS 6.1. The process involved is somewhat weird, such as ending an emergency call, consecutive pressing of home button and etc. Below I have provided the exact steps as posted by the users, to unlock the iPhone.

First Part:

  • Go to emergency call, push down the power button and tap cancel.
  • Dial 112 and tap green and immediately red.
  • Go to lock screen.

Second Part:

  • Go to passcode screen.
  • Keep pushing down the power button …1…2…3…seconds and before showing the slider “turn off”…tap the emergency call button and …voilá!
  • Then without releasing the power button press the home button and ready…”

The procedure allows the users to access contacts, photos and to make calls. But it doesn’t offer access to its home screen or any iOS apps that exists on the home screen. The iPhone lock screen hack seems to work on iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 too, if they are running iOS 6.1.

The control can be configured for categories like, specific places where purchases can take place and the types of transactions which can be allowed. The patent also suggests that, parent will be notified about their child’s activity on the accounts, including the details of the online purchases. The app can also be set for the users, so that they cannot buy some unethical products. The E-Wallet app is enabled with a primary account that is connected to a credit card.

Users are able to use the app to manage transactions using their iPhone. The patent also hints that it will integrate mobile payment solution so that it can be used outside of its ecosystem in the future. It also reveals that the iPhone would integrate NFC (Near field communication) chip for convenience. This technology is still in its early stage of iPhone application development. So NFC enabled monetary transaction may not be secure completely.

I’ve worked with the team at Andolasoft on multiple websites. They are professional, responsive, & easy to work with. I’ve had great experiences & would recommend their services to anyone.

Apple IPhone Smartwatch Is Expected In This Year

Posted on by Jay

In this current year is supposed to see some amazing technological innovations. This would be the year of wearable smart devices and compact gadgets. From recent news, it is now revealed that tech giants like Apple have decided to develop a smartwatch.

It will be developed to facilitate easy access to Apple devices like the iPhone and iPad. And it is also expected to be available during this year.

‘Apple’ has teamed up with ‘Intel’ to create this Bluetooth-equipped wearable smartwatch to sync operations and notifications with the iPhone.

It would allow the users to remotely access the phone from their wrist, without necessarily holding the phone when needed. That means the users can send text messages, make calls, and update their Facebook status directly from their watches.

With an embedded Siri- integration and a 1.5in display, an iPhone compatible smartwatch is definitely in high demand.

It is expected to run a certain version of iOS for which it will give more opportunities to the iPhone developers around the world. This new device assumed as the ‘iWatch’ would be a hot favorite among the phone lovers in this year.

At Andolasoft we develop the most intuitive iPhone Applications for our customers. Our experienced developers keep updating their skill set with the latest technology and iOS releases to match the competitive market.

iPhone 4S Has Taken The Market Sales High Compared To iPhone 5

Posted on by Jay

Soon after the release of the iPhone 5, it went on to become the highest-selling iPhone in history, but based on the recent survey, it has shown some reports for which Apple’s investors are alarmed of possible unfavorable events.

According to new research, this suggested that consumer’s interest in Apple’s popular iPhone 5 lineup may have peaked.

But shares of Apple have decreased since the last month from September. The share has decreased over 25% from as high as $705.07, for which investors are now beginning to panic about Apple’s future.

UBS analyst Steve Milunovich has estimated for Apple’s fiscal year 2013 and 2014 and has also dropped his price target on Apple shares to $700 from an earlier target of $780.

Milunovich quoted “Some of our Chinese sources do not expect the iPhone5 to do as well as the iPhone 4S”.

Recently consumers in China have also revealed that they would prefer iPhone 4S over the new iPhone5.

The Wall Street Journal wrote over the iPhone5 launch as “arguably the least eventful launch of an Apple device in the company’s four-year history in the Chinese capital”.

Apple’s iPhone 5 demand didn’t show up as expected because of the fact that Apple delivered iPhone 5 with a familiar design and without any exciting features which was much expected by most of the consumers, along with that the malfunctioning iOS6 map apps also played a major part in decreasing iPhone 5 sales this year, even less than the iPhone 4S.

As per the latest survey, it is found that developers still prefer iOS5 over iOS6 for iPhone application development.

Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5 – Which one to pick?

Posted on by Jay

Now iPhone 5 has been launched and available for sale, people swarm to the Apple Stores all over to buy this new iPhone. There is also Samsung Galaxy S3 which was launched recently in May 2012 and available at most of the Smartphone vendors. So which one are you choosing? Apple has witnessed doubled pre-orders for its new iPhone after the launch although critics don’t think Apple came up with a revolutionary iPhone as expected. Rather they praise the Galaxy S3 which has some improved features as compared to iPhone 5. So let’s make a comparison between the two and you judge.

Here you go:

Processor And Memory:

Galaxy S3:

1.4 GHz Quad core Exynos processor; 16/32 GB, extendible to 64GB

iPhone 5:

A6 dual-core processor- clocked with 1GHz;  16/32/64 GB

OS:

Galaxy S3:

Android Ice Cream Sandwich, soon to be updated to Jelly Bean

iPhone 5:

iOS 6; expected to be the best platform for iPhone developers

Screen:

Galaxy S3:

4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED screen with max resolution of 720 x 1280

iPhone 5:

4 inchHD LCD display screen with 640 x 1136 maximum resolution

P.S: iPhone 5 screens looks pretty big with quality media playback and gaming. Apple once stated that its iPhone size is the standard size for a Smartphone. But later proved wrong by companies like Samsung and HTC, Apple itself increased the size of its iPhone.

Size and Weight:

Galaxy S3:

4.69 ounces(133 grams); 8.6 mm thick

iPhone 5:

20 grams lighter weighing 3.95 ounces (112 grams); 7.6 mm thick

Camera:

Galaxy S3:

8MP Rear Face Camera; 1.9 MP Front Facing Camera

iPhone 5:

8MP Rear Face Camera; 0.9 MP Front Facing Camera

NFC(Near Field Communication): A technology to enable fast radio communication between two devices.
Galaxy S3: YES;           iPhone 5: NO

In summary, both the devices are competitive and possess different advantages.  Users need to match their needs and pick accordingly. At the same time, iPhone application development and Android application development both are improving day by day.
