Untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 unlikely to come soon
Share:
That is because there are a lot of obstacles that need to be dealt with before an untethered iOS jailbreak could be possible. For starters, the hack requires an exploitable vulnerability in the system to be discovered. But after each jailbreak, Apple quickly patches its system, seals the hole, thus rendering jailbreaking the latest iOS version impossible, until a new flaw in the system is found. And tracking them takes time, which is why it took 10 months until a way to hack iDevices with the A5 chip was discovered.
So the more advanced and more hack-proof iOS becomes, the harder it will be to enjoy the untethered jailbreak experience on it, and all the goodies it brings along. That said, if you absolutely insist on having a jailbroken iPhone, better hold on to an older model before upgrading to an iPhone 5.

Yeah, try an Android... You certainly won't be bored with that! Especially if you root it!

I had an Android and they are not stable, they slow down, they lag. You can try to close out programs that you dont want running but they still run. Yeah, no, i'm good on those POS!

iPhone without Cydia is like a hamburger without the ham. JailBreak is A MUST so u can unleash the power of iPhone even it has mid-specs hardware. If iPhone not JailBroken, it is like OS full of launcher and no more to do just to lunch the apps and games. By the way, if iPhone had so much user around the world just like XDA on Android, may be it is easier and faster to exploit any of vulnerable in iOS.

Same with Android, no Root, no Fun, just like operating Windows with Limited Account Policy and we all know, what it feels being limited on our own device.

agree and disagree. The majority of people want a jailbreak just for installous and piracy. Do u think the jailbreak would be as popular if installous and ihacksrepo weren't about

@princetofu
not as popular as piracy and installous but for tweaker, it is a must.

@rahulcena5565
JailBreak > (bigger?) Root
or u mean
JailBreak = (equal, u represents ">" as arrow) Root.
the second one i agree, but the first, i think it is equal, as JailBreak and Root gives us Administrator Rights to "take over" device policy.

Actually, iPhone is the more stable of the 2. Droid allows programs to continue to run even after shutting them down. Whereas out of the box iPhone lets you. Droid lags and slows down after a month of use....iPhone shows no sign of slowing. Hmmmmmm......why do you people think Apple has only 1 line of phone? Droid has how many? No droid is better than iPhone yet.

Cydia is untethered on 5.1.1 so Cydia should release something that makes 5.1.1 look and behave like 6.0 but it's actually 5.1.1 Now that' would be smart.

@TeritorialDemon
yes iphone is more stable with no compactibility to another hardware. ios build for ONLY ONE specified hardware. imagine the droid MUST compacting all the posible hardware from around the world! so, for its compactibility, android got lag here and there (just like windows which used by so many variaty hardware, windows is also has lag here and there because of it MUST HAD COMPACTIBILITY). you compared ONE SPECIFIED HARDWARE OS to ALL AROUND HARDWARE COMPACTIBILITY. i really like to know if ios may adopted to another vendor like htc, sony ect, i'm sure THEY'LL GET LAGS TOO.
