* 18 June -- [[iPhone Dev Team]] releases a new version of [[redsn0w]] (0.9.14b1), adding the capability to downgrade iPhone [[N82ap|3G]]/[[N88ap|3GS]] [[Baseband]] from the [[06.15.00]] iPad baseband to the latest unlockable iPhone baseband ([[05.13.04]]). This allows 3G/3GS users that had upgraded to the iPad baseband, thus losing the GPS function and the ability to restore to stock firmware, to get back to an iPhone baseband, making their devices behave as intended again, as well as being unlockable by [[ultrasn0w]].
