So I've seen where this guy wants to get something called iNocydia and its a jailbreak, without the jailbreaking. its like everything a jailbreak has, but no risks and all. Its in beta phase, so i wanted to see some outlook on if this is going to actually be very successful and all

Bwahaha! This is just a website that opens in a subclassed Safari. It lets you "install" HTML 5 "apps" by creating shortcuts on the springboard. Its "tweaks" are just links to YouTube videos about known workarounds an even documented iOS features. You are still sandboxed and in the chroot jail.

Basically, this is just trying to do the same thing Apple tried to do with the original iPhone back in 2007: pass of webapps as a viable alternative to fully functional applications.

What if apple stayed with the web apps only route. Imagine how different mobile would be today.

Jailbreak without the risks? What risk are there anyway?

Its a scam though, I don't trust anything unless it's verified by official sources.

A jailbreak without a jailbreak. Brilliant.

Official sources, right. Like, a team of jailbreakers. Very official. Lol

You clearly have never dealt with anything related to jailbreaking. There are very well-know figures out there who are the "official" sources. So what if it's a team of jailbreakers? You want Tim Cook to verify the jailbreak for you?

Crazy, right?



That would be nice. Try emailing it to Tim, I'm sure it will be taken in consideration.

Why would I email him, I'm not the one looking for his verification. If you are interested in a jailbreak and concerned about its authenticity, then email Tim. I'll stick with my usual sources.

I'm pretty sure his post was tongue in cheek

Deleted mine quoting yours also. :rolleyes:

Dear Leader doesn't like when we get out of line and say non-official things!

I wonder if anyone actually clicked the link.

Not that it would have worked anyway. It contained backslashes, a comma and a nonexistent top-level domain.
