March 11, 2011 – Apple launches the iPad 2 tablet in several countries around the world; July 6, 2011 – the first jailbreak solution for iPad 2 is released; January 16, 2011 – iOS 4.3.4 – iOS 5.0.1 still cannot be jailbroken on iPad 2/iPhone 4S. Looking at that timeline, you can see that more than 10 months have passed in which only one jailbreak solution was released for the iPad 2 tablet. Although the rest of the iDevices could be tethered jailbroken on any version of iOS, unfortunately the owners of iPad 2 tablets still have to wait until the untethered jailbreak solution in work can be launched.
Apple has worked a lot on securing the iOS operating system and this can be the easiest to notice if we take into account the above. The iPhone 4S has been available for 3 months and we are only now waiting for the release of an untethered jailbreak solution for this device, but it will become useless after a maximum of 2 weeks because iOS 5.1 has already blocked the exploits used in it. Apple has become much more aggressive in the war against the developers of jailbreak solutions for iDevices, this is visible and the more than 10 million people who jailbreak will have more and more to wait in the future for the release of new programs with which to jailbreak.
I, for one, do not think that jailbreak can be eradicated, just as piracy cannot be stopped, but Apple can make the development of jailbreak programs significantly more difficult.
