Jailbreak Developer Demands Apple to Release iOS 6.1

Over the past few weeks hackers announced progress in finding exploits that could lead to the release of a jailbreak for iOS 6 on A5 devices. They kept mum for months in a row, whereas the buzz around the release of a hack for iPhone 5 and iPad 4S only grew more and more intense. Recent posts from hackers via social networks talked about finding new exploits in iOS 6, whereas one jailbreak developer dares Apple to release iOS 6.1 making it seem like a jailbreak release is certain.

Just several days after Tech Crunch published an epic article on jailbreaking iPhones and iPads based on an interview with reputable developers, pod2g and planetbeing have good news for the future of jailbreaking.

“Tons of progress the last few days, I think the future is looking bright for jailbreaking.:)” PlanetBeing announced via Twitter, whereas pod2g was so confident that he dared Apple to release a new version of the so-called unbreakable software. “Come on Apple. Release that 6.1 now!” reads his Twitter post.

Earlier this week, there was a similar vibe coming from the jailbreak community as the same two developers caused a lot of buzz with the first announcements in weeks about progress being made with the jailbreak process for iOS6.  “@planetbeing oh yeah! 2 new vulnerabilities in a day, chance with us. But we still miss that initial code execution for a public jb :/” announced pod2g.  “Made some nice progress today with @pod2g. I think I’ll try to reward myself with a nap:)” read PlanetBeing’s post on Twitter at the beginning of the week.

Apple is expected to release another beta version of iOS 6 anyway, since the fourth and current one expires January 28th. Avoid however to upgrade to iOS 6 until developers announce the jailbreak code is safe to use.
