Since software unlocking techniques have been applied to computers with iOS systems, there has not been a period of greater uncertainty when executing the so-called Jailbreak as before. And it is that to the usual difficulties that the manipulation of the platform itself entails - with the numantine resistance of Apple, which with each edition tightens the security of the system - is added the fact that the processors of the devices where iOS is hosted they are of a different nature.
Thus, those responsible for the Jailbreak are optimistic with the results they are obtaining in the manipulation of the iOS 5.0.1 code in the terminals based on A4 processor - iPad and iPhone 4 -, so that in the coming days they could make available users the necessary tools to apply the Untethered Jailbreak to those terminals. This is stated by the pod2g hacker on his blog. However, proceeding in this way with the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 is another matter.
The reason would be, precisely, in the A5 processor that these devices install. However, pod2g itself has surprised today with news, in which it refers to a possible loophole in the system architecture that could make it possible, shortly, for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 to be compatible with the Untethered Jailbreak, something that he comes to consider himself as " a Christmas gift from Apple ".
The Untethered Jailbreak is a type of system unlock that allows the device to work autonomously, including reboots, once the assisted process has been applied so that we can access the root of the platform. With this, we obtain the option to install applications without having to resort to the obligatory channels of Apple -the App Store, mainly- using, for example, the Cydia repositories. In addition, we can use some functions that those same devices have by hardware , but which have no place by software .
