Jailbreak For A5 iOS Devices Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the just-a-matter-of-time dept.

tlhIngan writes "It certainly took long enough, but the untethered jailbreak for Apple's A5 based iOS devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4s) has been released (official site, struggling due to traffic). It's currently only available for OS X, though ports of it to Windows are forthcoming."

    I turned off Bluetooth on the 4S as it drains battery. With that, GPS, SIRI, brightness, notifications and whatever else I could think off I pushed battery life up to a whooping 3 days.

    My sis say I should turn of 3G. It apparently drains the battery a lot, but I must be getting really old as I haven't figured how to do that, and no way will I ask her how.

    What interests me is that you obviously don't own your own phone according to the gospel of Jobs. This is why I moved from Apple. Unless Apple Inc. wishes to give me a free phone, I OWN THE DAMN THING.

    In Jobiet Russia, the phone owns you!
