Tutorial: Block/Disable iAds on iOS devices!

1st, no jailbreak at all. It works in iOS 5, iOS 6 and iOS7.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd, go to http://oo.apple.com/ to opt out from iAd data collection through default browser safari.

3rd, go to Settings > Location services (Privacy in iOS 6.X), scroll to the end, System Services, turn off Location-Based iAds, and Diagnostics & Usage if needed.

3. Location-Based iAds

----------------------------------- ----------------Non jailbrokens stop here------------------------------------------------------

For jailbroken iOS, 1st, apply the three steps above for Non jailbroken iOS, and then go to Applications via iFile or other tools (root directory: /Applications)

/Applications

2nd, rename Adsheet.app (underlined), I add a "b" at the beginning and the end of it respectively (see pic below), no add-on is needed from Cydia! And iAd Killer doesn't work anymore!

Before and After

Afterwards, all iAds are gone! Enjoy your iAd-free iOS devices.

iPhone 5 release date hints!!

iPhone 5 will be released on 12 September, 2012 as it is officially announced by Apple. What's more? It is as well rumored that pre-orders will also be initiated on that day. Check out my new bumper!

On 9 September 2012, Apple has made its full preparations in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in

San Francisco, where the new iPhone event is going to be held. Well, ain't that nice? What expectations do you have for iPhone 5? Quad-core, bigger screen for video watching, advanced and more highly integrated iOS6,slimmer design and unibody, or even better signals?

Apple design team made its backdrop more creative,but for Apple fans, it could be more. The folks over at MacRumors predicted that it's made up of stretched app icons and sporting a 4-inch display.We are waiting for Tim Cook to take the stage announcing the sixth generation iPhone, aka iPhone 5. Can our expectation be live up to? Let's keep a wait-and-see attitude.

iPhone 5's reportedly dual core,comparing to other rivals, is kind of lame. 1GB of RAM is also suggested. Apple is going to abandon Samsung as its supplier for the iPhone 5's DRAM and NAND chips, and trying to find other chip manufactures instead,patent battle worldwide between two sides is excluded for the reasons of Apple decision.Battery size is updated, more 10mAh than iPhone 4S, hinting a more efficent CPU and other chips as a flagship iPhone launch.
