iPhone 5 was announced recently and launched officially on 22nd. The iPhone 5 isn’t a revolutionary phone as such. There are few changes of course, and the main one being the processor itself. The iPhone 5 is backed by an A6 chip which is up to two times faster than the A5 chip but 22 per cent smaller. It runs iOS 6 out of the box. We all love freedom, so how about jailbreaking the brand new iPhone 5?
Well, the iPhone 5 has been already jailbroken even before we thought. That’s how fast the developer community has become. The iPhone 5 was successfully jailbroken on the launch day itself, which is remarkable. Popular and respected iPhone developer, chpwn, tweeted a screenshot of iPhone 5’s homescreen with Cydia icon, and yes, the picture has a resolution 1136 x 640 which coincides with the resolution of the new iPhone 5’s screen.
You may doubt the credibility of the above image, but it’s from chpwn (Grant Paul) and he has been an active member of the community for so many years that he has grown the credibility for himself. Also, it’s not like Apple has patched the loop holes required to add an unlocked bootloader to the device as developers have already jailbroken iOS 6 on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and 4th-gen iPod Touch. The iOS 6 jailbreak was accomplished by iPhone Dev-Team recently, so it’s obvious that the next step is towards iPhone 5, but we expected it to be done a bit late as it’s equipped with a new A5 chip, but seems like we were wrong.
