The latest iOS 7.1 is definitely irresistible and it managed to bring out the envy from the jailbreak community. Fans of the untethered iOS are showing their anticipation for the 7.1 jailbreak.
With Apple claiming that their latest iOS is heavily secured, there are many doubts on the jailbreak being created. Those doubts soon went away as there is already an iOS 7.1 jailbreak being made available. This may seem like great news but there is a downside to it and that is with the iPhones that are compatible with the untethered iOS 7.1.
The only devices that can run the iOS 7.1 is the fourth generation iPhones. Both the iPhone 4 and 4S are at an advantage. Thanks to the bootrom exploit on the A4 chip, it is much easier for jailbreak-makers to create the iOS 7.1 for the iPhone 4.
Alphawired strongly agreed to this on their recent post and the website went further in assuming that soon, the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C will get the iOS7.1 as well.
Bypassing the security features on the A5, A6 and A7 processors will surely challenge the hackers and will take a long time to develop. We feel that the hackers might just skip this one and look forward to the next major operating system, iOS 8.
On the other hand, there is no wrong to remain hopeful if you are a fifth-generation iPhone user. The bottom line is that users who wish to retain their jailbreak should refrain from updating their untethered iOS 7 to the official iOS 7.1.
