The Untethered Jailbreak for the iPhone 5 seems like it's not close. The latest operating system designed by Apple for mobile phones and tablets is a clear example of how the company can learn from its mistakes, so that the work they have applied in terms of security with this equipment has been the most thorough. If you have no problem working with the Tethered Jailbreak, you already know that this system is ready to be applied in iOS 6. But if you know that you may have an incident if the terminal is turned off, you will have to keep waiting "" the Tethered solution requires restarting the entire unlocking process in case the phone turns off.
In fact, there are no estimated dates for the release of the Untethered Jailbreak in iOS 6. Nor does it seem that there will be any in a short time. The Information Week site echoes a number of reasons that support pessimism in this regard, including, for example, the fact that Apple itself has been able to shield possible holes in the system by which hackers they penetrate to subdue the platform and unlock it. That, each time, requires much more time from the developers trying to break down the limitations imposed by Apple, so that in each new attempt, the Cupertino would have a longer period of time until the publication of the next solution for the application of Jailbreak Untethered.
On the other hand, although in this line, Apple has managed to accommodate itself in a situation that despite apparently being complicated, it is almost an accepted routine in the Cupertino laboratories: as soon as an option is provided to perform the Untethered Jailbreak on iOS, the in-house engineers get down to work to, say, close the holes through which the attack could have been made, so that the reaction speed of the Apple guys is, seen this way, much more agile than the of the teams behind the jailbreak.
In addition, the ability that Apple has to be able to make a great integration between software and hardware with its latest equipment also plays in favor of conservatism in the rules of the Californian firm to prevent users from doing what they want with its platform. However, it is strange to see the extent to which software problems may have occurred in the iPhone 5 "" the keyboard that flickers, the light problems that arise on the screen, the purple flash in the photos obtained with the camera terminal ”” while the necessary weaknesses for the application of the Untethered Jailbreak are conspicuous by their absence.
The last three Apple devices have been presenting serious problems so that hackers could cook efficient and stable ways to perform the Untethered Jailbreak. And is that the architecture used in the latest processors "" the A5 and A5x "" have been really tough bones to crack when trying to leave a door open to unlock the system and allow access to the root of the platform.
