With the iOS 6.x jailbreak slated for release on Monday, those planning to jailbreak should take one step to make sure their devices can always be restored to iOS 6.1 after Apple stops signing the firmware. If you have to restore your iPhone in the future, it pays to have SHSH blobs saved so you can always go back to an earlier, jailbreakable version of iOS.
Apple could always close loopholes with iOS 6.1.1 or later, making it more difficult for the evad3rs to successfully jailbreak. Once Apple stops signing an older version of iOS, you must have your SHSH blobs to restore. There are only a few simple steps and a free software package required to protect yourself from losing the iOS 6.x jailbreak. The extra insurance is worth the time it takes to follow these instructions:
1. Download and install the latest version of TinyUmbrella from The Firmware Umbrella onto your computer.
2. Connect your iPhone to the computer with a USB cable and run TinyUmbrella.
3. Select the iOS device you wish to save SHSH blobs for from the left menu under Connected Devices.
4. Select the Advanced tab from the main program window and uncheck the box labeled Request SHSH From Cydia.
5. Enter the path where you want to save your SHSH blobs in the Save SHSH Directory field. You can leave this set to the default path if you want.
6. Click the Save SHSH button in the upper right hand corner.
7. Select the Log tab from the main program window and verify that the latest firmware is listed as successfully saved. At the time of this writing, iOS 6.1 will be the only version that is still being signed by Apple, and will be the only SHSH blobs saved to the Save SHSH Directory.
Now you should have a local copy of the SHSH blobs required to restore to iOS 6.1 stored in a single file in the directory defined by the Save SHSH Directory path. The evasi0n jailbreak is currently 93 percent complete, and will be released to jailbreak all iOS 6.x devices on Monday.

iPhone 5 Could Have Big Future As Camera
Apple created an ideal electronic solution with the 2007 release of the iPhone. Is it possible, however, that for Apple the product’s greatest value is in the smart phone’s camera? A report from Barclays PLC studies the power of the company’s most iconic device in the imaging market, and the effects that might have on pricing.
The theory is that the more devices the iPhone 5 can replace, the higher the utility of the device to consumers is, and the higher price they will pay. The iPhone 5 currently works as a phone, and for most customers as an mp3 player. It also serves to delay some of the time spent on personal computers for certain segments of the market.
Apple has seen its share plummet in recent days after a poorly received earnings report. The company deserves another look according to the report from Barclays PLC , which deals with more than just the digital camera part of iPhone 5 appeal.
A second benefit of the all-in-one model is that when consumers seek to update one function of their device, i.e. their camera, they have to replace the entire product, at full cost. The market model is a great one for Apple , but the iPhone 5 has yet to replace cameras.
For a certain segment of the market, the iPhone 5 has managed to replace point-and-shoot digital cameras, but it hasn’t made enough headway into the market to be considered a stalwart force in the segment. A Barclays report studies usage patterns on the social networking site Flickr, which is owned by Yahoo! Inc. .
The study finds that the iPhone 5 is being increasingly used as a digital camera, and is taking market share from traditional point and shoots. The iPhone 4s is the most valuable camera on Flickr currently, with more than 5200 daily users as of January 28th, the iPhone 4 is in second place with a shade over 4000 average daily users.
The iPhone 5 meanwhile, maintain more than 2300 average users, a good number for a device which is less than 6 months old. The iPhone 5 trounces usage by Samsung users. The Galaxy S II and S III have 676 and 620 users respectively. The usage of the iPhone 5 on photo sharing services like Flickr means more than cannibalization of point and shoots, it also means higher data usage.
A device, like the iPhone 5, is more valuable to wireless carriers if it causes them to use more wireless data, making up for the subsidies the carriers have to pay to put the smart phones on the market. The massive advantage of the iPhone 5 over the models offered by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) means that carriers may be more willing to continue offering subsidies to Apple, even if they choose to limit them to other carriers.
According to the Barclays PLC the iPhone, and the iPhone 5, are becoming the digital camera for the younger market. That, along with the enhanced data usage from iPhone 5 users, means that Apple Inc. has an advantage over its competitors, and still has room to grow, despite the current impressions of the markets.
