Gizmodo is has reported for the fist time, Apple might have implemented on the laptop side a way to seal up exploits to jailbreak the iPhone. A custom build of iTunes in the latest aluminum MacBooks seems to be the cause.

The new aluminum MacBooks…don’t seem to be able to recognize an iPhone or iPod Touch when it is booted into DFU mode, a vital requirement for jailbreaking…Though the hardware is where one sees the most conspicuous changes in the new MacBook, this problem most likely stems from a subtle software modification. It’s not clear what specifically changed, but a new build of iTunes, unique to the new MacBooks, seems like a likely culprit. |
