The first jailbreak for the iPhone 4 was unleashed Sunday. The hack will let those with an iPhone 4 buy things from other places than the Apple App Store. Unapproved apps could be downloaded with the iPhone 4 jailbreak. Other networks besides AT and T could be hacked with this jailbreaking. Apple, which exercises tight control over the iPhone network and iPhone app approval process, says jailbreaking the iPhone 4 “can severely degrade the experience”.
Where to get the iPhone jailbreak
It is now legal to jailbreak the iPhone which is probably why this application was released. Jailbreakme.com is somewhere CNN reports you can get the iPhone 4 jailbreak. iPhone 4 owners can get apps from stores other than the Apple App Store with the iPhone 4 jailbreak hack. The jailbreak can be received using an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the Safari browser. You don’t need to even pull out your computer to install this one.
Jailbreaking is now legal, and Apple is peeved
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act makes it possible for jailbreaking to be legal. Information week reports that the U.S. Library of Congress (LOC) opened the door to legal download of the iPhone jailbreak last week when it said hacking the iPhone to circumvent Apple’s app approval process does not violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. LOC’s chief librarian wrote that cracking the iPhone is “innocuous at worst and beneficial at best.” Apple is upset in this belief. Despite the fact that it is legal to jailbreak now, Apple explains it does void warranties.
Jailbreak makes iPhone/T-Mobile connection possible
The iPhone 4 jailbreak was so popular that jailbreakme.com could hardly stay online Sunday. The CNN article said once an iPhone has been jailbroken, one more set of apps can be used to unlock an iPhone to work on wireless networks other than AT and T, which is the only official U.S. carrier for the iPhone. Unlocked iPhones will work only on T-Mobile and not Sprint or Verizon because of the way it works.
