Jailbreaking a Little Harder in New iPhones

I guess with the hardware and software of the iPhone a bit more stable, Apple has time to address other issues that have been a pest. For the past several months jailbreaking an iPhone required a special exploit until recently. The latest iPhone 3GS devices to hit store shelves now address this issue and make it (for the time being) impossible to jailbreak.

I guess as apple becomes more lenient on the types of apps they allow in the AppStore, they return the favor by making it harder for people to jailbreak their device. From a business standpoint it makes perfect sense for them to plug this hole which made it possible for a few dedicated individuals to circumvent loading Apple’s pockets with money having to stick with Apple-signed apps in the AppStore.

For the time being Apple has won the battle, but we all know nothing is perfect and software is not invincible, and this may just be the push someone needed to try their luck in returning jailbreakage to the iPhone. I just hope Apple doesn’t get too caught up in this cat and mouse battle that new features and advancements become less frequent or dull.
