Apple has recently updated their recycling program and now they are offering $200 for your used iPhone 4, which means that if you are a kind of person who prefers to instantly switch to the latest gadget – you have got yourself a pretty good deal!

You can tell Apple about your old iPhone 4 here and they’ll send you an estimate amount that will be reimbursed. You’ll receive a value gift card from Apple which you can use to order the new iPhone 4S.

The latest addition to the Apple’s iPhone family – iPhone 4S comes with numerous features and a 8 MP camera is one of them. Apple says that it “might” be the best camera a phone has ever had.

Its not only the hardware that makes this camera so special. The unique camera is backed up by Apple’s new iOS 5 that helps you to capture the best shot possible. It offers automatic exposure for different variations of light, HDR to take multiple photos at once and construct one picture out of their best parts and face recognition – so that any face it captures is not in blurred.

Here are some pictures taken by iPhone 4S that I found on Apple. Looks pretty good to me, take a look and see for yourself.

Apple has released iOS 4.3.5 for its iOS devices that is mainly meant to patch some under-the-hood issues. No major developments or features have been introduced in this update.

Since iOS 4.3.5 is very similar to its predecessors, the tools that were used to jailbreak those firmware would work fine with this one as well. So this means that the current version of Redsn0w is capable of Jailbreaking iOS 4.3.5 on iPhone 3GS/4, iPad and iPod touch 3G/4G. Redsn0w won’t be of much help if you’re trying to jailbreak iOS on your iPad 2.

The bad news about this jailbreak is that its tethered, which means that if you restart your iOS device, everything goes back to the original condition – you lose your Jailbreak! So you have to make your best effort to avoid rebooting your device at any cost.

At this step, Redsn0w will ask you to turn off your device and plug it in to your computer. Once you do, follow the instructions on the screen to put your device in the DFU mode.
