The Latest Jailbreak Statistics Are Jaw-Dropping (AAPL)

www.businessinsider.com Dylan Love 80 days ago

Some impressive numbers come our way from this tweet by iOS security researcher @pod2g – 14,051,500 Apple devices running iOS 6 have now been jailbroken. Furthermore, the Cydia jailbreak app is now seeing roughly 23 million monthly unique users (this statistic ignores iOS versions). As a fraction of the whole, however, this statistic becomes less remarkable. Given that Apple recently sold its 500 millionth iOS device, this means slightly fewer than 5% of iOS devices are operating outside of Apple's boundaries. However, the first day that the iOS 6 jailbreak was available, over 270,0... Read similar

www.businessinsider.com Kevin Smith 136 days ago
