Apple hires jailbroken iPhone developer Now we’ve all heard rumors about a new notification system in the pipeline for iOS 5 but there hasn’t been any concrete proof behind the stories. But judging by the latest reports, it might be coming true after all. Peter Hajas, the man behind Mobile Notifier, a notification app used in jailbroken iPhones has been confirmed to have been picked up by Apple.

He recently posted on his Facebook page that he is currently an intern at Apple – a position that most Apple iOS/OS X developers have started in over the years. While he’s only joined Apple recently and iOS 5 is going to be announced next week, it’s highly unlikely we’ll be seeing the new notifications soon, but we can probably expect it to arrive on the platform (if it ever does) sometime in the future.

How many of you have jailbroken your iPhone to use Mobile Notifier?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iPhone: iPhone: The iPhone is Apple's line of smartphones. That was also the original name of the first iPhone, which was announced on January 9th 2007 by Steve Jobs during the Macworld Keynote. The iPhone was released to the public in June of the same year. The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.
