The Apple iPhone SDK (or iSDK) which is to be released shortly has supposedly had the key used to secure the applications authorised by apple for distribution published. The key was initially published on austinheap.com and then later on other sites.
This all comes on the back of the release of the 1.1.3 firmware, which seems to undo most of the good work by all the iPhone unlockers.
As an iPhone user, I have to express my confusion over why Apple is persisting with the feeble attempts at securing the device. It is a fantastic and very extensible phone. It doesn’t suffer from the “slow downs” other mobile devices seem to have issue with. And for me it just works so well.
There now appears to be a working way to hack the newer Euro firmware / bootloader – but still requires a virtual SIM. This to me indicates a software only work around will be soon.
I find the best source of iPhone hacking / moding information is at modmyifone.com
