One of the most popular tweaks in the iOS jailbreak community is to change the carrier logo to a custom image. When a user upgrades their device to the newest model it takes time for a jailbreak to be released. Here’s a bit of a workaround to get the custom carrier logos on an iPhone or 3G/LTE model iPad. @uhelios and @Pix3lDemon have released CarrierEditor, an app currently available only on Mac. The application is extremely simple and intuitive and is of course offered for free. Below you will find the download link and included are several carrier logos to choose from.

The steps for completing this process are demonstrated in our video above and should take no more than a couple of minutes.

Is the iPhone Coming to China?

International Business Times states that wireless carrier, China Unicom, reportedly bought 5 million iPhones and intend to start selling them next month (September).

China Unicom, the potential exclusive distributor of iPhones in China, has poured 10 billion yuan ($1.46 billion) to buy 5 million units from Apple, ready to sell the first batch in September, local media reported on Wednesday.

China Unicom had already paid Apple 10 billion yuan ($1.46 billion) for 5 million WCDMA standard iPhones with unit price of 2,000 yuan ($293), CBN news said, citing a well-informed source.

The report also points out that Apple will not be continuing with their traditional ways for making a profit. Instead of sharing the profits with their wireless carrier (AT&T in the U.S.), Apple is now bringing income specifically from selling units to Unicom.

Apple made compromises in the China market because of its great demand and intense competition, but Apple can still make profits from each unit from 1,000 yuan and 1,100 yuan as China Unicom offers a good price for each unit.

The iPhone will likely be priced at 2,400 yuan ($351) for the 8GB model and possibly 4,800 yuan ($702) for the 16GB model.
