Apple iOS 5 Already Jailbroken
June 7, 2011 | In: Apple
Well the Apple’s announcement of the new iOS 5 just yesterday didn’t stop the new mobile OS from being jailbroken, already.
From the looks of it, Apple hasn’t really concerned themselves with patching up holes that were taken advantage of to break their iOS devices, so apparently it was an easier jailbreak than usual
Musclenerd, one of the core members of the iPhone Dev Team, has posted a tweet showing some screenshots of Cydia and iSSH (apps that only run on jailbroken iPhones) on the homescreen of the developer version of iOS 5 which was seeded to developers yesterday.
It’s been touted that the current iOS exploit can’t be fixed without a hardware update – which means that until the next generation of iPhone and iPod Touch devices are released, iOS users should have no problems jailbreaking their phones. In case you were wondering, jailbreaking allows users to run apps that they normally aren’t allowed to run on a regular iOS device and brings a whole new level of customizability to the operating system.
