Latest iPhone firmware unlocked

More jailbreaks than a spaghetti western

The latest version of the firmware for Apple's iPhone has fallen to hackers less than a week after its release.

Another hack by Jonathan Zdziarski, developer of the NES emulator for iPhone, is software only but somewhat complicated. If previous experience is anything to go by, easier jailbreaks will emerge over coming days. ®
