    I bet this will happen. I think a release of iOS is premature. If they do, on the other hand, then I'm good with it. I still doubt they will release the final version of iOS 6. I bet they won't even mention it. WWDC will come and go, and a couple weeks later they will announce it coming in whenever season.

    I just prefer not to tamper or mod stuff caus' I tend to mess things up if I do. It's just me, but jailbreaking just seems like too much trouble.

    Wait, apples getting tougher, the exploits getting fewer.

    They won't release without a beta, that is for sure. You just bet on two different things?


    It is all reversible, remember that.

    Patience is virtue. Wait.
    As fewer as the exploits go, they're a bit like prime numbers; you're not sure where they are, but you know it's there somewhere.

    Sorry! Lol! I bet they could announce iOS 6 at WWDC, but I think it's premature.

    Reversible, yes, but I don't think I have the technological audacity to undertake the risks.

    Yeah, but so is most Android releases. I think it would be appropriate, but only if they put hard work into it.

    I was like you once, as long as you know if a jailbreak is out and its unteethered, its a little bit cumbersome dealing with tweaks but its an amazing experience but if you don't want to thats perfectly alright, just know its been decided legal by a court of law, theres no "technially" about it,

    Not in any sense of the word is jailbreaking an iOS device illegal.

    Although Apple doesn't WANT you to modify their device and install third party apps (since they don't get revenue on those anyway), they cannot have any say in what you do with your own property. As long as you don't redistribute modified software or sell it in any way, there is nothing Apple can do to stop you. As such, restoring your device to a clean version of iOS is fair game, since there are other things besides jailbreaking that can compromise your system. To say one is right and the other is wrong is forming a silly double standard.

    The device is fine on its own, but its potential is still limited. This is the reality we live in-where Apple's deathgrip on its devices results in the people taking action to do what they want with the stuff they bought.
