Holy shit folks! A big breakthrough tonight! I got my iPhone 5 to sync with my #iMacG4!!

This was never allowed by Apple as Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the official minimum OS required by iPhone 5. But I knew this limitation was artificial as my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 are both running iOS 6.1.3... so what could the actual difference be???

This is my first reverse engineering project and it ended up being only a 1 character change, but it took many many many hours in GDB to figure out which character. I promise I will write a blog post.

But in the mean time, please enjoy the screenshots while I buy myself a 64GB iPhone 5 so I can get some content synced!
