JailbreakMe_logo

Apple recently seeded iOS 4.3.4 for its iOS devices including the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, and 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touch devices. Apple also release a comparable update for Verizon Wireless’ CDMA iPhone 4, iOS 4.2.9.

These new builds include a security update that addresses the vulnerability with PDF files. This directly patches the extremely popular JailbreakMe.com jailbreak solution, which was by far the easiest way to jailbreak iOS devices. JailbreakMe will no longer function on devices running the newer firmwares, which are available now on iTunes.

MuscleNerd tweeted the following warning after Apple deployed the new firmware:

iOS 4.3.4 is out…please don’t update, or you’ll [...]

JailbreakMe 3.0 Release Date Leaked – Said To Be July 5th

JailbreakMe_logo

For people who didn’t already know, JailbreakMe 3.0 was leaked earlier this holiday weekend and Comex has been racing against Apple to release the official jailbreak tool before Apple patches it with iOS 4.3.4. Speculation previously pointed to Comex having a little less than 10 days to release his jailbreak tool. The speculation was solely coming from the fact that it took Apple 10 days to patch the exploit for JailbreakMe 2.0 and this time around, Apple probably had teams on standby awaiting for the tool to be released.

Jailbreak editor and writer @paulpols discovered another leak from Will Sayer, who was the person who leaked all the files to begin with. [...]

References To New iPod Touch Found in Apple’s iOS 5 Beta

apple-logo

There are new references that were found of an unreleased version of Apple’s iPod Touch, which have turned up in code strings found inside the company’s first beta of iOS 5. The discovery may raise more questions than answers though. A developer over at the ifans.com forums turned up a singular reference to an “iPod 4,2″ while browsing the resources of Apple’s first iOS 5 beta distribution for the existing iPod Touch, references as “iPod 4,1.” The discovery, which was later verified by the folks over at AppleInsider , may be significant in that it suggests Apple’s plan to release an evolutionary refresh to the iPod Touch this year rather than the evolutionary one that would [...]
