Should I upgrade my iPhone 5 to iOS 9.3?

Now that the iPhone SE has been announced, the iPhone 5 and 5s are the new low devices on the totem pole. The iPhone 5 may not be left out as much as the iPhone 4s when it comes ot new features, but its older hardware is beginning to limit what it can do. For example, the iPhone 5 will not support Night Shift mode, and it does not have the hardware to support most of Apple's Health app features.

Can I upgrade my iPhone to iOS 8 if it is jailbroken?

You can indeed upgrade a jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (as long as they are compatible) to iOS 8. However, you will lose your jailbreak and all jailbreak apps and tweaks.

There is currently no jailbreak for iOS 8, and once you upgrade to the new iOS, you won't be able to return to an earlier version. So if you like your jailbreak tweaks, don't upgrade to iOS 8. At least not until a jailbreak is available for it, which isn't guaranteed.

Apple Offering an Extra $80 for iPhone 5 Trade-Ins with Faulty Sleep/Wake Buttons

Submitted by Marshall Walker on April 28, 2014 - 4:01pm

Apple last week announced that it would begin replacing the sleep/wake button mechanism on all iPhone 5 models that were manufactured through March 2013. Customers with a faulty sleep/wake button can either bring in or mail their device to an Apple Repair Center and have it fixed free of charge in approximately 4-6 days, or trade it in for an extra $80 of in-store credit, according to 9to5Mac.

According to a retail store memo issued to employees, customers can opt to trade-in their broken iPhone 5 for $350 instead of waiting up to 6 days for it to be repaired. $350 is $80 more than the normal non-affected device trade-in value. To take advantage of the deal, your iPhone 5 must exhibit the known sleep-wake issue and have a qualifying serial number. The device must also have no other problems such as a cracked display or other damage.
