Jailbreakers, don’t upgrade on Nov 21st… not yet anyway…

iPhone Dev Team have posted on their blog saying that 2.2 iPhone software MAY stop any future jailbreak UNLOCKS… the key word here is MAY stop it… They are not sure, but for them to even mention it, it must be a concern, so our suggestion is to wait for a few days after the update is released and see what the iPhone Dev Team say… Obviously, we’ll keep you all posted on the best course of action too… So check back on the 21st!

iPhone Dev Team’s blog post:

We’ve made some decent progress with the iPhone 3G, nothing worthy of a party as yet but we are moving along nicely, we’ll keep you updated on this.

Now for something a bit more serious, we’ve explained about Apple’s updates in the past and we’ve warned against the immediate installation of these updates without knowing what they do to your device.

This is indeed true of the iPhone 3G’s upcoming 2.2 release. Installing ‘2.2’ on the iPhone 3G could affect your chances of any software unlock in the near future (should one be found and released), so when you see an update in iTunes await our instructions first!

Please don’t blindly install the update and then complain about it later ;-)
