A lot gets written about people hacking the iPhone to unlock it for all networks and allow unoffical applications to be installed on it, but it’s still unclear how many users are actually doing it. Speaking personally, I still have The Fear of Apple turning my hacked iPhone into a brick at some point in the future, and the benefits offered by ‘jailbreak’ software haven’t tempted me enough yet.However, for those who do follow these things, the weekend saw some intriguing developments. First, the latest jailbreak software for iPhone’s v 1.1.3 firmware appeared online. However, it’s since been reported that this release was actually a leak, and that the iPhone Dev Team that was working on it hadn’t finished. Apparently, the leaked version includes some of Apple’s copyrighted information, so is properly illegal.
Meanwhile, other reports say the leaked jailbreak may also prevent users from installing official third-party iPhone apps, when they come out later this year. Apparently it breaks the software used by iPhone to install signed software. All of which means, even if you’re a less lily-livered iPhone user than me, you should probably treat this leaked jailbreak with extreme caution.
