We know that there are many, many readers out there who are waiting
for news of an iOS 6 untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 5 and other
devices and it is proving to be extremely elusive. So far the
untethered jailbreak saga has proved extremely complicated with many
twists, turns and scams along the way and today we have news of a
further development as a release date for the untethered iOS 6 jailbreak
has been made available from somebody calling themselves DreamJB.
We are a little skeptical to bring this news to you as we know that
many of you have been pretty frustrated by false hopes of an iPhone 5
iOS 6 untethered jailbreak on several occasions already. Nevertheless
we feel we should bring you the news so that you can make up your own
minds, although personally we won’t believe anything particularly from
Dream JB, until an official release has been made public.
At Phones Review we have urged readers to follow tweets from renowned
members of the jailbreaking community such as @musclenerd, @pod2g and
@p0sixninja or check out the Chronic Dev team or iPhone Dev team
websites for official and genuine news about an untethered jailbreak for
iOS 6. We’ll hold our hands up and admit that in the past whilst
endeavoring to keep readers informed about this much-awaited jailbreak
we have perhaps given too much credence to unsubstantiated claims, as
have many other websites.
Please be aware though that it is never our intention to get people’s
hopes up for nothing, merely to pass on the information that is out
there for those who may not have heard the latest. That is why we
approach news of DreamJB and claims of an untethered jailbreak so
cautiously. Of course it may be yet another fake but if we didn’t pass
on this news and it did turn out to be accurate we will have failed our
readership.
If we are to believe the claims of DreamJB then the untethered
jailbreak for the iPhone 5 will be released as early as December 22,
just in time for Christmas. The jailbreak (6.0.1)
will apparently support the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5,
iPad 2 and iPod Touch (4th gen). DreamJB states that he is a “one man
army” and has used an official website and also Twitter account to
communicate with the jailbreaking community. He claims to have no
connections with the official Dev Team and says that the first
untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 will be available exclusively on his site
on December 22. He has also offered an open invitation to media
colleagues to discuss the Dream jailbreak.
As we previously mentioned we have always considered that if the news
of a jailbreak doesn’t come from the above-mentioned sources then we
would be inclined to think it was another hoax so please readers, for
now we would not put too much belief in this. The prominent members of
the jailbreaking community have spoken out many times now about the
difficulties of this latest untethered jailbreak and so it’s difficult
to believe a solution could come from an independent one-man band.
However, there is always a possibility that this could in fact be
genuine and it is causing waves of discussion around the Internet.
On December 7, a message on the Dream JB page read that his Twitter
account had been inappropriately suspended due to certain individuals.
Dream JB added that members of the jailbreaking community were invited
to contact him via email but have not responded. What’s more Dream JB
risks the wrath of jailbreakers by saying that the community has become
“egotistical.” This is because Dev Team members seem to have dismissed
the jailbreak implying that it’s virtually impossible for somebody not
connected to the dev teams to come up with it.
The latest update to the DreamJB page
has been posted today (December 10) and says that proof of the iOS 6
untethered jailbreak will be posted both there and on Twitter on
Wednesday, so only two more days to go before we could possibly find out
if this claim has any substance to it. The DreamJB page goes on to say
that a video will be posted as proof and “will be a single-take shot of
the entire jailbreak process, including a restart and usage of the
device to prove it is untethered. It will be uploaded as raw video
straight from my camera to YouTube. So no edits in any form. Thank you
all for your patience and support.”
That sounds clear enough so now all Dream JB has to do is deliver!
We’ll certainly be following developments on this and will bring you
further news as we hear it. Meanwhile don’t hold your breath and if
this turns out to have any validity at all it will be a pleasant
surprise. We’re really interested to hear your views on this. Are you
one of the many who are still avidly awaiting the iOS 6 untethered
jailbreak?
