We are on our way to reaching two months since the launch of iOS 5, the last major system update for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, which seems like the flagship platform of the iPhone 4S. And despite this time, the possibility of an unlocking system for iOS 5.0.1 is diluted every day. We refer to the so-called Jailbreak Untethered, a system that breaks the defenses of the operating system and allows you to shut down or restart the terminal without canceling the unlocking process.
Until now, the systems that have been made available to users to apply the process known as Jailbreak is based on the Tethered technique, that is, the user is required to keep the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch constantly on, and that restarting the system would abort the execution of the unlock, leaving the terminal in the initial factory settings. Said in Roman paladin: it would be as if we had never Jailbroken the phone, tablet or player.
The reasons why the arrival of an effective system to execute the Untethered Jailbreak is in danger are in the maneuver that Apple would have carried out to prevent the proliferation of these actions. And it is that as Hercules did with the Hydra, those of Cupertino opted for the direct route to finish beginning to end the Jailbreak: cut off the head of the monster, this time, represented in the maximum exponent in the development of applications for assistance that allow unlocking iOS devices.
It is not that from Apple now they are in favor of selective decapitation: the strategy of the apple company is more metaphorical than macabre. And it is that the company incorporated into its ranks the architect of the Jailbreak, a hacker known by the nickname Comex, thus leaving the popular unlocking system orphaned.
Now, the Dev Team, which is the group of developers that support Jailbreak, is working on creating an effective Jailbreak Untethered system, but the reality goes through the longest period that Apple's system for mobile devices has been safe from the arts of those who seek to break the shackles of the platform to install applications without depending on the official App Store, as well as take advantage of some functions that, otherwise, would be blocked as standard.
