How to properly clean your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch screen

apple 5:34 PM

How-to-clean-the-screen-of-your-iPhone-iPad-iPod-touch

The best way to clean dirt, grime, grease, and grit off all your iOS devices without damaging them or their oloephobic coatings

How should you clean your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch screen? Should you stick with a dry cleaning cloth or is it okay to use a cleaning solution? If so, what kind of solution is safest? From everyday usability, to applying screen protectors and stickers, to reducing the risk of scratches, keeping your iOS screen clean is something we get asked about a lot. And while it's not a DIY repair, it's every bit as important to know.

First off, if you own an iPhone 3GS or any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that came out after it, you're device has an oleophobic coating. This coating works to help prevent fingerprints and also makes it a lot easier to wipe them off using nothing but a dry cloth and in some instances, even a pant leg or inside of your shirt. Older devices don't have this coating and you may find you'll need to use a bit of water or cleaning spray in order to remove some substances and fingerprints.

If your device has an olephobic coating we don't recommend using any type of liquid cleaner on it as it can actually degrade the coating even quicker. Using a dry microfiber cloth or non-abrasive material will work just fine and should remove most of the oils from your fingers.

If you've gotten food or a sticky substance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that is resistant to just a dry cloth you can use a bit of water to get it off. Don't apply water directly to your device but moisten the corner of a microfiber cloth and use that. You should make sure you wring out the cloth completely so it is only damp. Also take care not to get any type of moisture in headphone jacks, dock connectors, speakers, or underneath the Home button. After the substance has come off, use the dry part of the cloth to finish wiping it down.

Oleophobic coatings do tend to wear off over time so if you've had your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for over a year or so, you may start to notice that the screen isn't as easy to wipe down as it once was. At this point it's probably safe to use a non-abrasive cleaning liquid. Always use something that does not contain ammonia, alcohol, or bleach. In short, you should stay away from household cleaners, window cleaners, and aerosol sprays. Only use cleaners that are meant to be used on electronics.

Again, don't spray liquid directly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as you increase the likelihood of getting it inside the device. Spray the liquid onto a cleaning cloth and then continue to wipe down the device being sure to use a dry portion of the cloth afterwards to make sure there is no liquid left over.

Make sure you are checking labels on liquid screen and electronics spray cleaners to make sure they don't have any of the previously mentioned chemicals in them. If you want to stay on the safe side, the iMore accessory store also carries a lot of cleaners that are safe to use on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Jailbreak Terms A - Z

a 3:45 PM

If you guys think of any more, please feel free to post them up and we'll add them!

A

Absinthe – Greenpois0n jailbreak utility used to jailbreak A5 devices such as the iPhone 4S and iPad 2

Ac1dSn0w – Jailbreak tool released in 2011 by Manuel Gebele. Originally released to support a tethered jailbreak for iOS 5 (tethered). Will most likely be updated to support other devices.

Activator – A jailbreak utility available in Cydia that allows you to assign gestures to invoke applications and utilities. For example, you can set a double tap on your status bar to open SBSettings, a quick reply texting app, or any other app of your choosing that has Activator support. Most applications readily support Activator.

B

Baseband - The baseband is essentially the part of your device that controls the antennae. This has everything to do with your service and signal. This is why most unlockers have to be extremely careful when upgrading. If the baseband changes, it can permanently keep them from achieving an unlock. This is the main reason most unlockers tend to favor PwnageTool. It creates a custom firmware bundle for you to upgrade to that doesn’t upgrade the baseband, only the main OS. If you are running on a legitimate carrier and don’t care about unlocking, the baseband it typically less of a concern. Wifi and Bluetooth don’t run on the baseband either, so iPod touch or iPad owners typically don’t have concerns when it comes to new baseband versions. Tools like redsn0w and sn0wbreeze are capable of preserving your baseband so during an upgrade the firmware can be updated while the baseband remains in tact. This is something desirable when you need to achieve an unlock.

BigBoss – One of the largest and most well known repositories in Cydia

BiteSMS – A jailbreak application available in Cydia that adds more functionality to the default messaging app including quick reply and quick compose functionality. BiteSMS also offers users the ability to purchase credits to use towards international texting that are typically cheaper than paying carrier rates.

blackra1n – A jailbreak utility used to jailbreak devices running iOS 3.x

Blobs – A lot of people ask about this one and why Cydia wants to save them. When you upgrade firmware in iTunes, you’ll see at the top when you start a restore “Verifying restore with Apple”. Apple only signs current firmware versions. If you accidentally upgrade and then try to downgrade, your restore will fail. SHSH blobs save you from this headache. It will basically give iTunes a fake hand to shake, which in turn, makes iTunes think your restore has been verified. This can be a life saver if you accidentally upgrade and need to downgrade. TinyUmbrella will save SHSH blobs to the Cydia server as well. I highly recommend saving your blobs for every firmware version in case you ever find yourself in this predicament. We have posted a guide on how to save SHSH blobs using Tiny Umbrella.

Bootloader – This refers to the baseband bootloader. It is the code that is run before the baseband firmware. This is the code that is responsible for updating the baseband and signature checking.

C

Chronic Dev Team – A group of hackers responsible for the release of several jailbreak tools and utilities. While some of them work closely together, others do not and may belong to other teams or groups as well. Regular members include chronic, posixninja, DHowett, and more.

D

David Ashman – Creator of the popular lock screen enhancement program LockInfo

Dev Team – Group of hackers well known to the jailbreak community that is responsible for several tools such as redsn0w, ultrasn0w, and more. Simliar to the Chronic Dev Team. Some members participate in both groups while others do not loosely associate with either group but may collaborate on projects and tools.

DFU mode – Stands for device firmware update. DFU mode will talk to iTunes but it bypasses iBoot which will then allow you to downgrade firmware. Most jailbreaks will require DFU mode for these reasons as opposed to recovery mode.

DisplayRecorder – Jailbreak utility by Ryan Petrich that allows you to record the display on your iPhone or iPad similar to taking a screen recording on your PC or Mac.

Dreamboard – Jailbreak utility that gives users the ability to theme their device and customize the look and feel. Similar to applications such as Springtomize or Winterboard.

SHSH blobs - A lot of people ask about this one and why Cydia wants to save them. When you upgrade firmware in iTunes, you’ll see at the top when you start a restore “Verifying restore with Apple”. Apple only signs current firmware versions. If you accidentally upgrade and then try to downgrade, your restore will fail. SHSH blobs save you from this headache. It will basically give iTunes a fake hand to shake, which in turn, makes iTunes think your restore has been verified. This can be a life saver if you accidentally upgrade and need to downgrade.
