Apple Shipping Jailbreak Resistant iPhone 3GS


By

It looks like Apple is upping its game in an attempt to stop the iPhone being jailbroken, iPhone Dev Team member MuscleNerd has confirmed that Apple are shipping the iPhone 3GS with a bootrom update, iBoot-359.3.2 which will stop the iPhone 3Gs being jailbroken for the moment.

The bootrom update is resistant to the 24kpwn exploit that is used by the Dev Team and other jailbreakers to jailbreak the iPhone.

I am sure it won’t be long before we see a solution from either the iPhone Dev Team or from George Hotz, who recently brought us the Blackra1n iPhone jailbreak.

    Totally cool with that. Okay so some folks are getting TO’d that Apple ‘control’ their app store.
    Let me get this right:
    Before Apple released that iphone and subsequently the App Store, there was never such a thing as the latter (not on this kind of scale anyway.)
    Its not all that often a tech company come up with such a smart way to create a win-win-(win?) situation for its consumers and also third party developers.
    If Apple are a bit tight with other companies like Google, we must appreciate that for the App Store to have a long term future, Apple needs to ensure that it remains ahead of competition (i.e other companies trying to copy the iPhone and App Store.)

    I have no qualms with the folks who want to jailbreak an iPhone, but to be honest with you, Im not a regular at the App Store or the iTunes Store. Folks just need to realize that their freedom stops where somebody else’s freedom starts.
