iOS 7.1 - A Jailbreak Killer!

The iOS7 update looks good for everyone. It even promises a snappier performance for iPhone 4 users. But, it's also a jailbreak killer. And not any old jailbreak killer; those who seem to know say that this update might be "the end of all jailbreaks."

Certainly, each successive update has taken longer and longer to jailbreak. So, if you are really attached to those fun little features that only a jailbreak provides, hold off on the update. Otherwise... as always:

  1. Attach the iPhone to your computer.
  2. Open iTunes.
  3. Click on "Back Up Now."
  4. Wait for the backup to finish
  5. Click on "Check for update" and then update to 7.1
Your phone will be unusable for about an hour and will need to remain connected to the computer for another few hours, depending on how many apps, pix, music, etc. need to be restored to the device.
