Unless their chipset has already been exploited and jailbroken on a previous device, it takes a lot of time for the iOS jailbreaking community to come with a jailbreak for a new iOS device. The iPhone 4S and iPad 2, both of which are based on a still (bootrom) unexploited dual-core A5 chip, haven’t received a jailbreak for iOS 5 yet, but it appears that they’ll be getting one soon.
The news comes directly from MuscleNerd – famous iPhone hacker and member of the iPhone Dev Team – in the form of a tweet in which he shares a screenshot of a jailbroken iPhone 4S on iOS 5.
From Twitter:
VERY preliminary 4S JB: twitpic.com/76vcp4 twitpic.com/76vct2 (Huge missing pieces prevent public release. LOTS of work left)
As you can see from MuscleNerd’s tweet, the jailbreak is “very preliminary” and is still some time away from a public release. There are no ETAs for this so we expect you all to show a little patience and let the Dev Team do their work.
Although we believe him completely, the two photos that MuscleNerd shared in his tweet verify his claim of the iPhone 4S jailbreak. The first screenshot shows root access on the iPhone 4S (codenamed N94) on iOS 5 whereas the second screenshot shows Cydia 1.1.1 running on iPhone 4,1 (which is another name for the 4S) with a Siri prompt at the bottom.
The iPhone 4S jailbreak is gonna be big when it is released. iPhone and iPad users all like being able to change things on their devices to the way they want and when the jailbreak hits for these devices you are gonna see a big upraor for the demand for jailbreaking.
iPhone 4S Has Been Jailbroken By Dev-Team, Public Release Still Far Away
