Apple has begun censoring the word jailbreak in the iTunes Store and App Store.

The change was first noticed by @planetbeing and retweeted by @musclenerd.

Whoa…when did Apple start blocking the word “jailbreak” in iTunes listings?

The word is censored in the iTunes Store (U.S.A.) but has not yet made its way to international stores.

According to DigiTimes, Apple is planning to use ‘G/F2‘ thin-film touch technology in its rumored 7.85-inch iPad.

The smaller version of Apple’s new iPad, rumored to be called iPad Mini, is said to feature the G/F2 technology, with Nitto supplying the key thin-film materials, and Nissha Printing and TPK producing the touch screens, the sources said. Wintek, another touch module supplier for Apple, does not have thin-film touch capacity, the sources added.

Using the G/F2 design will help reduce costs and will also make the iPad Mini thinner than previous iPad models since it will have one less layer of film than the G/F/F (glass/film/film) structure, according to sources.

The G/F2 structure places the electrode on the top and bottome ends of the ITO film, which will then be laminated onto the cover glass.

The site’s sources estimate that Apple will ship 7-10 million iPad Minis this year.

Apple may update the next generation MacBook Air with a Retina Display after all. This follow previous reports that both the MacBook Pro and iMac would also be receiving Retina Displays.

According to sources, the power drawn from the Retina Displays combined with the thin and light form-factor of the MacBook Air may pose challenges for Apple and its product manufacturers. Because of this, a launch timeframe is unrealistic to pinpoint. While Apple is bringing USB 3 to the MacBook Pro, Apple seems to currently be undecided on whether or not to expand the new USB technology from their Pro line to the more consumer-oriented and affordable Air series.

Sadly, it looks like OS X Mountain Lion might be the last of the cat name series.

The WSJ is reporting that Apple has ordered screens that ‘measure at least 4 inches diagonally’ for its next generation iPhone.

Apple Inc., which is expected to launch its next-generation iPhone later this year, has ordered screens from its Asian suppliers that are bigger than the ones used in iPhones since they debuted in 2007, people familiar with the situation said.

Production is set to begin next month for the screens, which measure at least 4 inches diagonally compared with 3.5 inches on the iPhone 4S, the latest phone from Apple, the people said.

There have been many reports that Apple would move to a bigger screen. Some reports suggest Apple will reduce the bezel on each side of the phone to accommodate the larger screen. Other reports suggest Apple will make the new iPhone taller.

Vendor SW-BOX.com, which recently listed other ‘iPhone 5′ parts, has now added a new headphone jack/earpiece/WiFi cable part, which they claim comes from the next generation iPhone.

In the iPhone 4 and 4S, the headphone jack,volume buttons and mute switches are all joined together for one flex cable, however this new part could indicate that in the next iPhone the headphone jack, ear piece, and WiFi cable will be joined together.

Hopefully more parts will surface soon. The next generation iPhone is rumored to be released sometime in the Fall.

Foxconn has issued a statement denying a recent report that its CEO said they were making preparations for an Apple Television.

It was last Friday that China Daily reported Foxconn Chief Terry Gou revealed the company was making preparations for the new device.

In a written statement to The Next Web, Foxconn said that Gou had “neither [confirmed] nor [speculated] about Foxconn’s involvement in the production of any product,” adding that it is company policy “not to comment on any customers or their products.

Pod2g has posted on his blog hinting that the release of his untethered jailbreak could take place during HITB SecConf Amsterdam.
