After weeks of speculation, the iOS 5.1 was released yesterday with some updates to iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S basebands.
For unlockers like most of us here, we are more concern of the baseband than anything else. So, to summarize the baseband revision for iOS 5.1:
- iPhone 4S: 1.5.04
- iPhone 4 (GSM): 4.12.01
- iPhone 3GS: 5.16.05 (no change from iOS 5.0.1)
As far as we know, none of the basebands above can be unlocked.
The following are change logs/features of iOS 5.1 for your information:
- Enhanced Siri dictation support during text input "on supported devices" (iPhone 4S in 2011) (i.e. Turn on or off Bluetooth, take a picture etc.).
- Carrier updates (e.g. AT&T 11.1).
- AT&T indicator now says "4G" when applicable. (4S Only)
- Baseband updates.
- Battery life reportedly fixed.
- Fixes iPhone 4S support for Caller ID Name Display (on supported carriers – i.e. Rogers & Fido in Canada).
- Users can now enter any Apple ID to sign-up for an iCloud account. Previously, they had to use (or create a new) me.com email Apple ID.
- New Montesi Wallpaper
- Images can now be removed manually from the Photo Stream in iCloud. Any photos deleted are now also removed from other iOS devices connected to iCloud.
- Shake-to-shuffle bug fix, which caused the Music app to freeze.
- The Setup Assistant caused an "infinite setup loop" for some users. When the setup was completed, the iPhone would jump back to a "thank you" screen ad infinitum. Users had to reboot the device to restore functionality.
- SpringBoard bug fix, the home screen for the iPhone would sometimes fall into a state when double-clicking the home button would not display the Camera icon.
- Turn on or off 3G toggle restored on iPhone 4S.
- Bluetooth bug fix; enabling Bluetooth and returning to home screen, the Bluetooth icon still remains in the status bar.
- Possible bug fixes on Wi-Fi signal strength on all devices.
- Safari, address bar added text (Go to this address).
- Improved Assistive Touch.
- Improved Location Services.
- License column added, under the About menu.
- Support for Siri in Japanese
- Possible fix to Outgoing Call No Audio (OCNA) issue.
- New Lockscreen camera button no longer have to double tap home button just swipe up to access the Camera app.
- Dictation on iPad
Meanwhile, as always, hackers should be back from their snooze mode by now to jailbreak this latest iOS release from Apple.
