Apple released iOS 6.1 beta 5

Contrary to tradition, Apple released iOS 6.1 beta 5 today, Sunday morning. This happened a few hours before the fourth beta expired. You can upgrade to iOS 6.1 beta 5 through the developer section. Many expected that the sixth beta version of iOS 6.1 will receive Gold Master status. This did not happen, but hackers found that beta 5 has the structure of the final build. This is indicated by the absence of her “expiration date” and the ability to install without a developer account.

It turns out that in a hurry, Apple simply forgot to add the fifth beta GM status. This is not the first case of such forgetfulness - iOS 3.1 also does not have a "golden" build. Will it be with iOS 6.1, they know only in Cupertino. One way or another, the release of the final version of the firmware is just around the corner. And after her and the jailbreak.

Meanwhile, the pod2g hacker in an interview with iDigitalTimes said that work on the untethered jailbreak of iOS 6.1 has been completed. According to him, the main work on creating a hacking utility was done by planetbeing and pimskeks. He only helped in the development and pushed it off the ground when both hackers came to a standstill.

Utility from planetbeing, pimskeks and pod2g jailbreak iOS 6.0 and iOS 6.1 beta 4. Hackers were waiting for the GM release to check compatibility and issue a hack for everyone. Given the current release of iOS 6.1 beta 5, which hackers called the Gold Master build, there is very little time left until the jailbreak is released.

Hacking will be released on behalf of the Evad3rs team, which includes pod2g, MuscleNerd, planetbeing and pimskeks. You can follow the latest news about the development through its official twitter..
