Aw damn that's ridiculous..You can best believe Apple heard about this and is going to scour the interwebs looking for the exploit so they can patch it..*sigh*
They dont have to ''scour'' the interwebs..... just suscribe to comex or Musclenerd's twitter which takes 3 seconds and are the primary source of information about jailbreaks sincethey make them.
Apple plays the cat and mouse game with jailbreakers, each firmware they released had surprises for them. I am 100% sure that Apple is very insterested to know how SHAtter works since it will requiert an hardware update in order to fix that one.
What do you think 4.0.1 was for ?
Yes it was to patch the pdf exploit that was used to jailbreak devices ( aka jailbreakme.com).
I hope you realize that your post was just dumb.
Yes.
You get the point.
And im not even mentionning the only purpose of BB updates; blocking unlockers
I hope you realize you need to learn to comprehend what you read. Just because Dev-Team members tweet about JB related info doesn't mean they're broadcasting the source code.
And yes, I'm fully aware SHAtter would require a change in hardware, which was the point of my post. The Dev-Team decided to save the SHAtter exploit for the next gen iPhone, and instead use Geohot's exploit. So if Apple gets their hands on the SHAtter exploit, they'll be able to patch the hardware in the iPhone 5. The whole point of saving SHAtter was so they would have a head start for the next gen.
So yea, you're post was just dumb. Learn to read.

Not the best example.
I actually prefer the normal text. Cleartype always makes everything look blurry.
+ 1.
CZK, you clearly need to learn to read better because you entirely missed the point that Derek420 made.
He was saying that Apple could get the exploit in order to update the hardware (quietly or not) to block the exploit before being released.

While you are right on 4.0.2 fixing the pdf exploit, it was not intended to stop jailbreaker, the PDF hole was a severe security hole that needed to be fix, even if jailbreak it use it or not, it was extremely easy to exploit and it would have put all the millions of iphone users on a great rick and that PR mess wouldn't have been real bad for sales.
