I do not live in fear of Firmware updates because I bought an IMEI unlock. Ive had an iPhone, jailbroken in order to be unlocked, since it first came out.
For an Unlock, jailbreaking is no longer needed. I never did get into any of the Cydia apps, I was only there for the Unlock.
I wonder how many people think they need an jailbreak, when all they want is an unlock?
same here, used an unlock so I could be on Tmobile, when I lived where ATT had no reception. Now I live where Tmobile has no reception, so I pay ATT about $50 more per month than I used to spend on Tmobile.
But, Tmobile is deadly slow on iPhone data, ATT is MUCH faster.
What are these fake developers? I am a developer and I'll be glad if JB comes out soon. Not rly because I'm going to get smaller funds, just because of the ideas these guys in dev-team give! Think about it.
Apple credibility itself going down by 6.0.2
There were never more than 1 minor update in previous IOS versions.
Steve Jobs was only 1 in this world.
Perfection is pretty difficult to replicate.
It's really sad that some people can say that if a jailbreak doesn't come out, that they will consider getting a totally different phone. SERIOUSLY? Does it really matter that much that you won't be able to steal apps and games anymore? Everyone should know what to expect from iPhones by now, and if you know you're not getting certain tweaks out of the box then don't bother to begin with. Devs work hard for their apps and games to be out there and they should be compensated accordingly, how would you feel if someone was stealing something from you that you've put all your time, effort and money into?
I've Jailbroken since the 1st iPhone (had to in order to use it with T-Mobile). I can count on one hand the number of apps I "pirated"--which was only on one OS version for about a month while I was in school. I ended up reinstalling my firmware, and purchasing the app that I liked.
Other than the unlock, and a budget trial episode, I have always purchased my apps--either from the AppStore or from Cydia developers.
New OS/iOS releases from Apple have consistently included "tweaks" as features--copy/paste, Notification Center, multi-tasking, etc. Quite honestly, the jailbreak community drives the feature set of the next iOS.
What Apple should do is work out a different DRM method that isn't affected by access to the file system. Then we can minimize the pirating while still allowing power users the ability to customize their device.
I still miss swipeselection, spotdict, iFile, BiteSMS and a couple of other tweaks that were immensely useful--again, I was jailbroken, and had no problem supporting developers that spent the time making something I found useful--Cydia or AppStore.
Jailbreak is not about cracked apps but about costumazation so maybe you should chill a bit .. I love iPhone and I had everyone since the first came out but iOS 6 add nothing new and without jailbreak is boring and limited.. I am thinking on getting htc on android if jailbreak don't come for ios6 .. I understand people that will leave iPhone on ios6
Well, buying the LG nexus4 is a bad option if you intend to subsribe a 4G LTE data plan... but go for it if you like.
BTW, I'm an IOS developer and I'm glad that all the stealers can't jailbreak their devices anymore!
I don't care about Apple shares going down, I do care about mine going up...
I am not. I love devices when i can do anything i want and i dont care with LTE and so on. Honestly i have used cracked apps that been developed by guys like you and at the end we choose to stay loyal and pay for them if they worse. There are thousands apps that don't worse a penny. With JB we experiment and leave feedback to the developers or even giving ideas to develop decent tweaks. I think Apple stopped thinking over the design and it is boring to stay with piece of useless brick.
Well, developers simply know the figures such as the ratio of devices which are running paid apps or not. Not all of the developers are "ROVIO like" or any major DEV STUDIO and can not survive when 50% or more of their app is pirated. Anyway, only the concerned persons should feel guilty, for the others, thanks for rewarding our work.
People can always say that they just want to customise they devices (BTW, jailbroken "TABLETS", in the US, will become illegal by law or already are (I'm european), which is unfair and therefore, I don't support this personally. But well, I'm not part of the american politics who have decided this.
Anyway, as Apple will probably release devices twice a year and according to how time consuming and brain efforts a jailbreak will require, developers can now sleep well.
No jailbreak means very secured devices, aren't you happy ? We are. ;-))))

Then, reporting figures don't make us happy.
As said, the problem is going to be solved soon. Efforts to jailbreak a device will require more time and efforts from jailbreaker (even with "no personal life") than IOS version released time.
CAT and MOUSE is almost over, hopefully.
However, I bet that Apple will see sales collapse. Then, I'm curious to see how they will consider the developers. I mean, Apple is unhappy to know that devices are unsecured (so do we!), but is more than happy when someone buy a device because it can be jailbroken....
The iOS Jailbreak scene is dead, forever. The peak of jailbreaking iOS has come and gone, unfortunately.
If there is no jailbreak by the time the next iPhone comes out, i will seriously be taking a look at Android alternatives if any hardware vendor can come close to the quality and design of Apple's hardware.
I don't think if itmay make any issues as posted by @comex;
"comex @comex
@MuscleNerd Nobody will ever release a jailbreak that doesn’t work on the current version
