Untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 is on the way, according to Chronic Dev Team . They have already found several exploits that could possibly be used in a future iOS 5 jailbreak. At the same time, Apple quickly patched these exploits before the public release of the firmware. One of Apple's weapons in the arsenal against jailbreaking is the log of crash reports, sent automatically from iTunes that serves to identify possible exploits. Chronic Dev Team is trying to stop Apple from finding out about these potential jailbreak opportunities by circumventing the automatic crash reports from iOS. Now the Chronic Dev Team is hard at work collecting submissions from iPhone users everywhere.
