Apple released iOS 6.1 beta 5

Contrary to tradition, Apple released iOS 6.1 beta 5 today, Sunday morning. It happened a few hours before the expiration of the fourth beta version. You can upgrade to iOS 6.1 beta 5 through the developer section. Many were waiting for the sixth beta version of iOS 6.1 to receive Gold Master status. This did not happen, but hackers discovered that beta 5 has the structure of the final build. This is indicated by the lack of a “shelf life” and the possibility of installation without a developer account.

So, in a rush, Apple simply forgot to add GM status to the fifth beta. This is not the first case of such forgetfulness - iOS 3.1 also does not have a “golden” build. Will it have iOS 6.1, they know only in Cupertino. Anyway, the release of the final version of the firmware is not far off. And after it, and jailbreak.

Meanwhile, the hacker pod2g in an interview with iDigitalTimes reported that the work on the untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak has been completed. According to him, the main work on creating utilities for hacking was done by planetbeing and pimskeks. He only helped in the development and got her off the ground when both hackers were deadlocked.

The utility from planetbeing, pimskeks and pod2g is jailbreaking iOS 6.0 and iOS 6.1 beta 4. Hackers waited for GM release to check compatibility and release a hack for everyone. Considering today's release of iOS 6.1 beta 5, which hackers have called Gold Master a build, quite a bit of time is left before the release of the jailbreak.
