If you’ve been patiently waiting for a jailbreak solution for your A5-based device–in other words, your iPhone 4S or iPad 2–it should be exciting news that the jailbreak community has gotten its current program out of the sandbox stage, which generally signals an imminent release.
According to a tweet picked up by iDownloadBlog, hacker “planetbeing” has announced that the iPhone 4S/iPad 2 jailbreak has left the sandbox stage of development. He also states that the jailbreak is “turning out to be more complex than X-Gold 618.”
X-Gold 618 was the baseband chip in the iPhone 4 that was cracked by planetbeing and “MuscleNerd.”
The complicated nature of this particular jailbreak is not a surprise considering Apple blocked one of the popular methods of jailbreaking with the release of the iOS 5 update.
With the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 jailbreak on the horizon, are you planning on jailbreaking your device? Why or why not? Let me know in the comments!
