iOS 6 Beta 3 Jailbroken Already
hypnosec writes "Apple launched the iOS 6 Beta 3 just a couple of days back, and the redsn0w team has given out a jailbreak for the latest version of iOS 6 already. The only downside is that this is a tethered jailbreak, which means you will have to make sure your phone is connected to the computer whenever you need to reboot it."
"Why sell me something, then attempt to force me do do only what you want with it?"
Are you serious?
Because that's what they advertised it to do.
Because that's what they have to guarantee it do.
Because that's what they have to support it to do.
Letting you do whatever you want with it undermines their ability ensure it does what it should during their legal warranty period and beyond. What do you think happens when an infrastructure update breaks on your device because you've screwed with it - and you bitch and moan all over internets !
Having said that, I am strongly of the 'open hardware' view but I do understand their business problem - definitely not a apple fanboi so don't go there
Ideally they really need to sell 'open' hardware at a premium (for lost revenue stream that otherwise subsidises the hardware) with no warranty/no support and let you do whatever you want with it - basically the PC hardware model.
