News: Apple Tweaks iPhone 3GS to Lock Out Jailbreakers
Apple has apparently made a slight change in new models of the iPhone 3GS that makes the handset resist attempts to jailbreak it. Jailbreaking changes an iPhone’s software to let it use applications not cleared for distribution in the App Store. Apple is also fighting jailbreakers in court. It’s unclear, though, how effective the 3GS’ new boot ROM will be in repelling jailbreakers.
