abstract:iOS jailbreaking is the process of removing the limitations on Apple devices running the iOS operating system through the use of software and hardware exploits – such devices include the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and second generation Apple TV. Jailbreaking permits root access to the iOS operating system, allowing the download of additional applications, extensions, and themes that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store.
Nine days after the hacker Comex and his band of underground coders released a new jailbreaking tool for the iPhone and iPad, Apple has released an update to iOS that prevents the hack.
Earlier this month, renowned OS X and iOS hacker Charlie Miller explained why he believed that the latest Evasi0n jailbreak will be the last, and jailbreaking was at an end.
