Hi, any help on what will happen to 3rd party apps if/when I upgrade to 1.1.1? And, at this point, where can I get 1.1.1? http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_2646 iPhone Privacy Patcher utility released: Stop sending your IMEI to Apple!

Hi Nate,
I know this isn't the correct forum for my question, but I am in a country with very little bandwidth, and as a consequence, I don't seem to get the registration image for hackintosh.org and thus cannot post there. I have a very simple question: my phone is jailbroken, unlocked, and highly modded. Everything works great, but third-party apps are starting to require 1.1.1 firmware. I have left mine at 1.0.2 because I haven't been certain that all the wonderful 3rd-party apps I have will still work or even be available to me. Can you tell me if they will still work? I realize that the jailbreak and unlock will still work, but what about the other stuff? Thanks! http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_2618 iPhone Privacy Patcher utility released: Stop sending your IMEI to Apple!

Nattrue,

I wasn't trying to plagiariz anything. Check your email that I sent you which is the same post but with the link. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to post a link in your comment section. Also look at my post over at Hacint0sh where I put in the Gizmodo link.

Good job plagiarizing that off of Gizmodo's website, viper. Actual, accredited link:

Looks like the aps do not send our IMEI.

OK, you can take your tinfoil hats off now. German site Heise Online has tested Hackint0sh user XianLi's claims about the iPhone sending its IMEI to Apple while accessing the web. According to Heise and other sources, this is not true:

While the code says "IMEI," which stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity, it seems that the actual IMEI is not transmitted. Using a sniffer, Heise says they were able to get the information that the applications are actually sending. The strings aren't the same as the test iPhone's IMEI and, in fact, each application sends its own unique code.

According to further testing by Rene at blog docpool, these IDs are identical in all iPhones he has tried. The most plausible explanation: the codes could be just application identifiers. Rumor smashed. Mystery solved. Time to get a bourbon at Big Joe's. [Docpool and Heise Online-- Thanks Wayne]
