* June 18 -- [[iPhone Dev Team]] releases a new version of [[redsn0w]] (0.9.14b1), adding the capability to downgrade iPhone [[N82ap|3G]]/[[N88ap|3GS]] [[Baseband]] from the [[06.15.00]] iPad baseband to the latest unlockable iPhone baseband ([[05.13.04]]). This allows 3G/3GS users that had upgraded to the iPad baseband, thus losing the GPS function and the ability to restore to stock firmware, to get back to an iPhone baseband, making their devices behave as intended again, as well as being unlockable by [[ultrasn0w]].

  • September 12 -- Apple announces new iPhone 5 and release date of iOS 6.

June

  • June 18 -- iPhone Dev Team releases a new version of redsn0w (0.9.14b1), adding the capability to downgrade iPhone 3G/3GS Baseband from the 06.15.00 iPad baseband to the latest unlockable iPhone baseband (05.13.04). This allows 3G/3GS users that had upgraded to the iPad baseband, thus losing the GPS function and the ability to restore to stock firmware, to get back to an iPhone baseband, making their devices behave as intended again, as well as being unlockable by ultrasn0w.
  • June 14 -- iPhone Dev Team releases a developer version of redsn0w (0.9.13dev1), which jailbreaks limera1n susceptible devices running iOS 6 beta 1. This version doesn't hacktivate nor installs Cydia, as it hasn't been ported to iOS 6 just yet. This jailbreak, however, installs afc2 and SSH, enabling developers to fix and prepare their apps to the next iOS version.
  • June 11 -- Apple announces iOS 6 at WWDC 2012, and seeds the first beta to developers.
