iPhone Dev-Team Delays 3GS Jailbreak Release

iPhone 3GS owners who would like to jailbreak and/or unlock their new devices will have to wait a little bit longer. The iPhone Dev-Team has already jailbroken the iPhone 3GS running OS 3.0 but they are postponing the public release.

The cat and mouse game is never simple. Dev-Team is worried that releasing a jailbreak now will give Apple too much information. The iPhone OS 3.0.1 release is surely coming soon, and if Apple corrects the bug Dev-Team is exploiting then future iPhone 3GS users will not be able to hack their phones.

How Can I Unlock My iPhone 3G?

If you're interested in using your iPhone 3G with any GSM mobile carrier the iPhone Dev-Team has the answer. Unlocking can also save a few bucks if you have AT&T and you're using your iPhone 3G outside of the US.

Using the latest release of ultrasn0w simplifies the process, but will only work with the iPhone 3G. Start out by making sure your iPhone 3G is updated to iPhone OS 3.0 and jailbroken with PwnageTool or redsn0w. T-Mobile users should disable 3G on their device.
