    iOS is the mst extensively used and admired operating system for smartphones. iPhone has always been the anticipation due to its best features and the awesome applications of the operating system.

    The operating system kept on evolving and by the time we have its 5th generation, Apple unleashed the much awaited iOS 5 in October this year and since then it has been tried to be hacked by the developers to jailbreak it.

    Jailbreaking is legal, for all those if you don’t know about it, It basically gives you liberty to costomize your operating system with your likes and dislikes.

    A5 chip untethered Jailbreak for devices iPhone 4S and iPad 2 Apple latest devices is still not available and is under process of jailbreaking team tests, wrote pod2g just days ago.

    “I know that a lot of people are waiting for the A5 jailbreak,” wrote the hacker on his blog. “I need to focus on A5 and hope I can find a path quick.”

    You can install third party applications and much more, Apple obviously do not like these things to happen so if you jailbreak your device your warranty from the company gets voided.

    So think before you go for the jailbreak. Jailbreaking also has some types and the most important one is untethered jailbreak. That basically frees you to connect to the PC machine every time you reboot your device.
