The interest in the iPhone 17 series is high, particularly for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, which are outselling their predecessors. The iPhone Air has a different tale to tell; sales haven't been great, with reports showing low demand and major production cuts. In contrast to the heavily publicized flop of the iPhone Air, there hasn't been much info on how the iPhone 16e is doing in sales. Early reports suggested it was doing pretty well, but it seems that wasn't up to Apple's standards. Sales of the iPhone 16e and iPhone Air aren't meeting Apple's expectations, as per info from leaker Fixed Focus Digital (source in Chinese). While no exact figures were shared, the leaker suggests that Apple's effort to launch a popular, budget-friendly iPhone hasn't succeeded. Even with the challenges, Apple is still set to roll out successors for both models. The iPhone 17e is anticipated to launch on time in spring 2026, whereas the iPhone Air ...

The Stagefright is one of the biggest security flaws on smartphones and tablets. It is a malware that has the capability to control the phone's Android OS once being infected. The said bug is injected on some applications and websites that intentionally designed just to bug any Android smartphones.
So this is a must and very important update for those who might have had already compromised their phones.

I wonder when we'll see 5.1. Unlike many users, I find stock Lollipop very satisfactory and am especially pleased with the improved camera performance. Still, I'd like to be able to flash a custom ROM or, at least, customize the stock ROM just to suit my own tastes. If it ever becomes possible to flash a Nexus-like ROM, I'll be all over it.
ReplyDeleteThe problem now, though, is that all of the available firmware downloads/root procedures that I've seen are advertised to work on the G900PVPU3BOG1 firmware build. In fact most require that your ROM /= 5.0; and the one root process I did find for 5.0 only works on the "vanilla" release, before the Stagefright fix.
What's the holdup at Sprint?
