Application offers one-click Jailbreak of 1.1.3 iPhones
By Jonathan Schlaffer
Up until now if you wanted to be free of AT&T there were a few methods of jailbreaking your iPhone. None of them were as easy as just connecting your iPhone and clicking a button. At least, it used to be it wasn’t that easy, it is now thanks to a new application.
ZiPhone promises to jailbreak your iPhone by simply connecting it to your computer and following the instructions with the program. Okay, it’s not as easy as just clicking a button.
You’ll have to get your iPhone into recovery mode and then run the software. Then you can click the “Free my iPhone” button and hopefully it will work. Hopefully because Engadget or any other credible (if you consider them credible) source has yet to test this method.
Lacking an iPhone, I can’t test it and even if I did have one, I don’t think I would risk it. While it’s not exactly illegal to jailbreak your iPhone, it’s not exactly legal to do it either.
AT&T frowns upon it, Apple frowns upon it so much so that any iPhone that gets bricked by any jailbreaking procedure will refuse to fix it.
From where I sit, it’s not worth the risk.
