Seeing that the fourth beta version of iOS 6.1 will expire in an hour, just when everyone thought that iOS 6.1 was on the verge of being released, Apple immediately released the fifth beta version of iOS 6.1. Apple's move is very unusual. Based on past experience, Apple rarely releases a fifth test on an iOS system that is not a replacement. Generally speaking, it will test until the fourth version can be officially released. Did Apple know that the jailbreak god has mastered the jailbreak vulnerability, so it decided to continue catching the mouse and spend more time looking for the jailbreak vulnerability?
However, it is more likely that Apple hopes to continue to improve iOS 6.1. Since the release of iOS 6.0, users have not been particularly satisfied with some of the new features, the most obvious one being Apple Maps. Apple has promised to improve the map application. In addition to improving maps, Apple also needs to make improvements to Siri, Passbook, etc. in iOS 6, and also needs to fix some bugs that exist in iOS 6 to make iOS 6 smoother and safer.
Developers can already visit Apple's official website Developer Center to download iOS 6.1 beta 5. Readers who follow the news of iPhone 5 jailbreak know that jailbreak hackers are already waiting for Apple to release iOS 6.1, hoping that the release of the fifth beta version will not cause obstacles to the already prepared jailbreak.
However, after developers discovered that ios6.1 could be activated without a developer account, and there was no ReleaseType locking key.
Foreign media iclarized reported that Apple released iOS 6.1 Beta 5 not long ago, but developers found that Beta 5 is actually not a real beta version.
Famous hacker I0n1c said on Twitter: "One of the very interesting things about iOS 6.1 Beta 5 is that its build ID belongs to the final version, not the beta version."
Then, hacker winocm followed up on I0n1c's new tweet and said on Twitter: "iOS 6.1 Beta 5 does not seem to be a beta because it can be activated without a developer account and there is no ReleaseType locking key."
MuscleNerd quickly pointed out that iOS 6.1 Beta 5 is actually a version released to the public: "As winocm discovered, although it is called a beta version, Apple actually hopes that iOS 6.1 Beta 5 can be released to the public, just like the official version of iOS 6.1. Very good! The final sprint stage..."
Pod2g confirms that iOS 6 is ready for perfect jailbreak
On Friday, pod2g announced via Twitter that he and muscular men from the iPhone Dev Team, pimskeks from the Chronic Dev Team, and recently active planetbeing had formed a new team called "evad3rs." According to reports from foreign media iclarized, pod2g accepted an interview with foreign media iDigitalTimes today. In the interview, he confirmed that the evad3rs team is currently ready for a perfect jailbreak for iOS 6. At the same time, he said that most of the perfect jailbreak is due to Planetbeing and Pimskeks.
"As we all know, the perfect jailbreak for iOS 6 is mainly due to Planetbeing and Pimskeks. I only got involved later and came up with some ideas to help them complete the perfect jailbreak for iOS 6 as quickly as possible. During this period, we broke many deadlocks together, and I don't deny that I was part of the credit, but even without my help, I think they will eventually successfully complete the perfect jailbreak for iOS 6."
"My main job now is to do my best to help improve communications, websites and some development work. The work I am doing now is different from the work I focused on development earlier... Yes, the main ones responsible for the perfect jailbreaking of iOS 6 are Planetbeing and Pimskeks, followed by me."
pod2g said that both iOS 6 and iOS 6.1 Beta 4 have now been successfully jailbroken. They are currently waiting for Apple to release the iOS 6.1 GM version. As long as there are no problems in the testing, the perfect jailbreak will be released soon.
The jailbreak for the losers who bought the iPhone 5 is really coming soon.
