State Of iOS 6 And iPhone 5 Untethered Jailbreak
Many of you have been in touch with burning questions regarding an iOS 6 / 6.0.1 jailbreak on iPhone 5 and other devices, or specifically, when it would be arriving. Hence this post, in which we’ll run through the story so far and hopefully, clarify things a little further.
Last year, iOS 5 arrived – along with the iPhone 4S – in October, and by the end of December, the work of the jailbreak world’s finest devs had seen the Corona untether released for those on A4-powered devices. A couple of weeks later, Absinthe covered the newer iPhone and iPad, presenting one of those wonderful scenarios where every iOS device on the market could be jailbroken, fully-untethered.
In this constant cat-and-mouse battle, though, things aren’t as clear-cut as a jailbreak releasing like clockwork, so shortly after Apple has released a new firmware. In fact, with each new release, Apple’s security gets that little bit tighter, and the jailbreak developers – talented though they are – are not miracle workers. Newer and more robust security measures take extra time to break down, and although attempts are being made to breach iOS 6, it’s a work in progress.
