Great news to report for all those anxiously waiting on an untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and other new devices. We have just been informed that both Pod2g and Planetbeing are now working on the long awaited iOS 6 / 6.0.1 jailbreak.
There are so many people who have purchased the iPhone 5 or upgraded their existing handsets to iOS 6 and now after months of waiting for a jailbreak solution it seems that things are looking up. Planetbeing has been updating the public via his twitter feed over the past couple of months and today a new tweet from him suggests that he is making progress and working with Pod2g.
According to his tweets, Planetbeing spent last friday with Pod2g where they have finally ironed out a working untethered jailbreak for iOS 6. His tweet said, �Made some nice progress today with @pod2g. I think I'll try to reward myself with a nap.� Pod2g responsed this morning which confirms that he is involved with the untethered jailbreak for iOS 6. He said, �@planetbeing oh yeah! 2 new vulnerabilities in a day, chance was with us. But we still miss that initial code execution for a public jb.�
Earlier this month, Planetbeing confirmed that he has a working iOS 6 jailbreak running on his iPhone 5. The tweets today suggest that all they are missing now is an initial code execution for a public jailbreak. Jailbreaking has become increasingly over the past couple of years and this is especially true on new devices. Pod2g's involvement in the iPhone 5 jailbreak is great news for the community and it could mean that a public iOS 6 untethered jailbreak is just around the corner.
It is important to note that iOS 6.1 is nearly upon us and it is likely that the Dev Teams will wait for Apple to release it before they release any untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and newer devices. The wait is almost over and we will be keeping you up to date with all the information as we receive it.
