After more than 3 months the iOS 6 jailbreak is still missing, leaving iPhone 4S owners stuck on iOS 5.1 and no iPhone 5 jailbreak for the millions of new iPhone owners.
We’ve seen progress on the iOS 6 jailbreak over the past few months, with small successes in the hands of the experienced jailbreak hackers and several high-profile fakes, but no official release.
As we close out 2012, here’s a quick look back at the iOS 6 Jailbreak progress and news so far. While there is no iPhone 5 jailbreak release date in site, there is hope for 2012.
After the iPhone 5 release in september we saw the first proof of an iOS 6 jailbreak from chpwn, who showed Cydia running on a jailbroken iPhone 5.
Despite early success, we are still waiting for the iOS 6 jailbreak release.
The next major update came in October when @planetbeing announced progress on a tethered iOS 6 jailbreak, claiming a full tethered jailbreak was close, but required a developer account.
Upgraded the #failbreak with a kernel exploit so tweaks actually work on iPhone 5. :D Almost a full tethered JB, though need dev account.

In November we heard more from @planetbing, who said that the iPhone 5 jailbreak was closer, but, “Missing critical pieces.” In this update, the iOS 6 jailbreak was stable, but the team still needed exploits to make a pubic release possible. @planetbeing showed IntelliscreenX running on a jailbroken iPhone 5.
Further proof of an iOS 6 jailbreak for the iPhone 5.
What followed was a case of multiple fake jailbreaks, including the fake Untethered iOS 6 Jailbreak, promised for a December 22nd release date. This turned out to be an elaborate hoax designed to teach a, ”lesson to the public.”, to only trust the known developers.
Pod2g talks about the future of the iOS 6 jailbreak.
Hope for an iOS 6 jailbreak came late in the year in an interview with famed iOS hacker pod2g, known as Cyril. In a lengthy interview, Cyril expressed hope that the iOS 6 jailbreak will happen. Speaking to i Cyril shared that he is,
Very confident about the next 6 months.
Showing faith in the talented hackers and resourceful community, Cyril said,
I honestly believe that iOS 6 will be jailbroken and that developers will keep coming up with more quality apps.
There’s also hope that Cyril will return to the jailbreak scene to work on the iOS 6 jailbreak. He stated,
There is a big chance I change my mind. I actually spent a few hours on it since WWJC, but I still don’t have enough time to work on it.
Working with @planetbeing motivates me a lot. He’s always very resourceful and he raises the bar.
Speaking of popular jailbreak apps the beautiful Auxo App Switcher originally coming as an iOS 6 jailbreak app is in Cydia with iOS 5.1 support for the iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.

Right now the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 jailbreak is available for iOS 6 with Cydia, but there is no support for the newer Apple devices.

Should i go back to ios 5.1.1 on my 4s or wait!!!!
You can’t roll back iOS on 4s and above. Apple no longer signs older versions.
Wtf!!!! Om not downgrading i use shift restore and and select ipsw and restore
Yes. You can’t do that in iphone 4S. Once upgraded to iOS6 you can’t go back down.
is possible to go back to 5.1.1 from 6.0.1 into an 4S?? (sprint)

Still we are unable to jailbreak the iphone 5. i want to ask that when is expected the jailbreak of iphone 5. As different hacker community mentioned that jailbreak of iphone 5 is tough but they have jailbreak iphone 4, iphone 4S and other 3G smartphones. i think iphone 5 user have to wait few months more until march, 2013.
