As the title suggests...do you guys think soft unlocking is coming to an end? Ultrasn0w hasn't been updated to any new basebands for over a year now due to the dev who got it to unlock 01.59 basebands being out of the scene.
Fast forward from that ultrasn0w release and you have Gevey SIM cards which are pretty much untethered (furiousmod/Gevey Ultra on 4.3.5 and below). Now users can buy iP4S devices factory unlocked (albeit for a bit more).
I dunno, I never was optimistic about a new soft unlock for the iP4 when I got mine at the beginning of 2011. But there was always a bit of hope...but now that I reflect back upon it, there doesn't seem to be much need. I'm sure users would rather have their A5s jailbroken and stuff. Soft unlocks just don't seem like it's worth the time for devs to develop, as much as I would love one. I mean, for iPhones in Europe, you can request your carrier to unlock it as well.
Thoughts?
