TiPb Asks: What’s the status of your iPhone 4S pre-order?

Were you one of the million people who pre-ordered an iPhone 4S last week? If so, who did you pre-order from, Apple or a carrier or a big box store, and what’s the status of your order now? Is it preparing to ship yet? Has your iPhone 4S shipped? Do you have an expected delivery date yet?

Let us know how you’re experience has been as well — was it a smooth ordering process, did it go as you expected or did you have any frustrating or nasty surprises along the way? Would you pre-order the same way again, or have you decided to do something differently next time? Different company, different capacity, different color?

Apple’s getting a ton of phones onto a ton of trucks and come later this will will be knocking on a ton of doors, if one of those doors — and iPhone 4S! — is yours, give us an update on your status below or jump into our official iPhone 4S forums pre-order tracking thread let us know!

Netflix sobers up, cancels Qwikster spin-offs

Netflix has announced that, as the cold harsh light of morning — and likely customer sentiment analysis — hit them, they’re reversing their previous decision to spin off their DVD mailer business into Qwikster. This means iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Apple TV Netflix in the US can retain a single site for all their account mangeament, ratings and reviews. Re-un-de-unified CEO, Reed Hastings:

It is clear that for many of our members two websites would make things more difficult, so we are going to keep Netflix as one place to go for streaming and DVDs.

This means no change: one website, one account, one password… in other words, no Qwikster.

While the July price change was necessary, we are now done with price changes.

That or this has all been some elaborate plan by Hastings to be named CEO of HP…

Untethered iOS 5 jailbreak coming soon?

Potentially good news for those of you looking to update to iOS 5 this week but don’t want to lose your jailbreak. Stefan Esser, also known as i0n1c if you follow him on twitter, has revealed that he believes an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 may already be in the works.

We don’t know at this stage if this will include the iPad 2, which has proven difficult to Jailbreak, or the soon to be released iPhone 4S which has the same Apple A5 processor. There is already a tethered jailbreak available for the iOS 5 Gold Master but that does not include the iPad 2. Also the problem with a tethered jailbreak is the inconvenience caused each time your device needs a reboot; it has to be connected to a computer or it will not restart.

Let’s hope that we won’t have to wait too long for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, it’s good to know that things seem to be “covered”.

Untethered jailbreak coming soon for iOS 5 according to i0n1c

Good news for those of you looking to update to iOS 5 this week but don’t want to lose your jailbreak. Stefan Esser or i0n1c, if you follow him on twitter, has revealed that he believes that an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 is already covered.

As far as I know iOS 5 untether is covered by other people already. Guess who

Now we don’t know at this stage if this will include the iPad 2 or the soon to be released iPhone 4S; we will have to wait and see. There is already a tethered jailbreak available for the iOS 5 Gold Master but that does not include the iPad 2. Also the problem with a tethered jailbreak is the inconvenience caused each time your device needs a reboot; it has to be connected to a computer or it will not restart.

Let’s hope that we won’t have to wait too long for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, it’s good to know that things seem to be “covered”.
