Apple iOS 4.2.1 jailbroken prior to public release

Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac“Hackers seem to always get their hands on the good stuff first, and this has included the latest third ‘gold master’ now dubbed iOS 4.2.1 to reflect fixed bugs, but no fix for the good ol’ jailbreak!” Alex Zaharov-Reutt reports for iTWire.

“According to the jailbreakers, Apple can’t fix the loophole they’ve found in the current iPhone 4 until they release an iPhone 5 with new hardware, and already the first reports of iOS 4.2.1 already being jailbroken have arrived,” Zaharov-Reutt reports. “The people behind Cydia, which is the most popular unauthorised ‘app store,’ also say their software is iOS 4.2.1 ready, just as many legitimate software developers have also done, testing their software on the SDK and on iPhone 4 and 3GS models loaded up with beta or near final 4.2 / 4.2.1 code.”

  1. Why do MDN even report this??

    You if any one should be against this.

    I hope this releae bricks the phone for every one that has hacked it. Apple should really focus on making it hard to hack iOS. Hacked phones should be banned from iTunes and the App store.

    If you feel the need to hack iPhone you are obviously not happy with Apple and you should go and wank over Google Linux instead. No one in Apple camp will be sorry for losing you.

    MDN should not report which things if you are on Apples side as you claim to be. Shame on you!
