iOS 6 Beta already jailbroken…sorta

Every time a new OS update comes for iOS devices, it’s both good and bad. Good because a ton of new features is always welcome on an Apple electronic. Bad because with every update it gets harder and harder to jailbreak. iOS 6 was just announced at WWDC and although I was excited for the release, I couldn’t help but think of all my tweaks I wouldn’t be able to use for a while. Well maybe it’ll be quicker this time.

iOS hacker, MuscleNerd, has tweeted that he has jailbroken iOS 6 beta, well…sorta. While it is technically jailbroken, it’s still tethered and he states that a bunch of essential items-including Cydia- don’t work. He also says not to expect a release anytime soon.

As excited as I am to get my hands on iOS 6, a big part of me wants to hold off until it’s been fully jailbroken. I don’t know if I am alone in that, but I’d bet there are probably a lot of other fellow jailbreakers who are going to wait to update.

Are you guys going to wait to iOS 6-ify your device? Or are you just excited to get the new features? Let us know down below.

I'm sticking with 5.1.1 on my new iPad and that is jailbroken, my iPod Touch will stay jailbroken too but I'm holding off for an iPhone 5 this fall and I can sell my ipod touch and trade in my phone for it and that I will keep up to date with the newest iOS'!
