In the world of technology in general and telephony in particular, it seems that the moment has been reached when a wound can heal before it is inflicted. Or almost.
We say this because while the option to unlock an Apple terminal using the Jailbreak technique is an option that many users want to have available from the first moment they have the device in their hands, it is always necessary to wait a few days, or even a few months (iPad 2 case is receipt) until the system can be bent. Or not?
It seems that in the case of the iPhone 5 the story will change. At least, if what the Chronic Dev Team collective points out is true. This group of hackers would have found the solution so that the processor of the iPhone 5 (the A5 dual-core at one GHz, which is supposedly the one that we will see in the Applephone, heir to the latest tablet of the firm) is not a problem during the unlocking process.
Precisely, the central chip would have been behind the Numantine resistance that the iPad 2 has offered when it has been tried to unlock. In fact, all the system updates were accompanied by a new publication of the necessary tools to Jailbreak the iPhone or iPad (first generation). On some occasions, the room for maneuver was a few hours; in the worst case, a few days.
But with the iPad 2 the task was much tougher. And indeed, until recently, the system's defenses could not be compromised. In the case of the next platform, iOS 5, just a few hours after its presentation, last June, the program that allows unlocking the system through an assisted process could already be found on the Internet, so, always relying on what they say from Chronic Dev Team, the iPhone 5 could undergo the Jailbreak from the moment of its launch. Of course: assuming it really carries the same A5 processor as the iPad 2 (based on Samsung architecture).
