iOS 4.3.3 Redsn0w Jailbreak Problem: Battery Life An Issue

If you are thinking about all of the cool extras you get from jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad then there’s more to it that you may want to consider. As always as soon as the latest firmware update comes through for the Apple devices the hackers get into it and pull out an updated jailbreak.

The latest iOS update is 4.3.3 and as OSM’s Debbie Turner reported it has only taken them a few days for the latest exploit to be available. It’s called Redsn0w 0.9.6 and as we mentioned before it’s available to download now. There’s one thing we have to tell you about, there’s problem with the iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak where it has had an effect on the battery life.

It would appear that the jailbreak is forcing your iDevice (not iPad 2) to use up more juice than usual. We learned of this through an entry over on iClarified where they say that the battery seems to be being “drained”.
