Well, that was fast. Grant Paul, a San Francisco-based software hacker and open-source enthusiast, claims to have jailbroken Apple’s latest iPhone not 24 hours after its release, according to pictures published on his Twitter feed. “I started working on it the day before the iPhone 5 was released, and I had my iPhone 4S jailbroken on iOS 6 in a few hours,” Paul, also known as chpwn, told me in an e-mail. “Then, once I got an iPhone 5, it was even easier; It took just about half an hour from first tuning it on to a jailbroken iPhone 5.” Read the full story at All Things D.
