The first jailbreak for the iPhone 4 was unleashed Sunday. Since the Apple App Store has at first been the only place to get applications, now iPhone 4 users can get them elsewhere. Unapproved stores can download apps onto your iPhone 4 with this 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”.
Downloading the iPhone jailbreak
It is now legal to jailbreak the iPhone which is probably why this application was released. The iPhone 4 jailbreak is at jailbreakme.com for many who want it. The iPhone 4 jailbreak hack installs a program that lets iPhone 4 owners purchase unapproved apps from stores other than the Apple App Store. You can visit the website on Safari on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to get the hack. You don’t need to even pull out your computer to install this one.
Apple not thrilled about legal jailbreaking
Jailbreaking is legal for one reason and that is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Information week reports 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 doesn’t violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. LOC’s chief librarian wrote that cracking the iPhone is “innocuous at worst and beneficial at best.” Apple doesn’t believe that at all. Despite the fact that it is legal to jailbreak now, Apple explains it does void warranties.
Jailbreaking makes it possible for T-Mobile and iPhones to have a relationship
Jailbreakme.com was having a hard time staying up Sunday with how popular the iPhone 4 jailbreak was. Networks other than AT and T can be used after jailbreaking the iPhone which makes it possible to download the right apps. There were some troubles created making it so the iPhone 4 can’t work on Verizon or Sprint with the jailbreak but will work on T-Mobile.
