Out of curiosity did anyone ever hear how Apple found out about the exploit in 4.3? Didn't know if someone tipped them off or if they actually discovered it on their own as they got the patch out pretty dang quick.
IPAD 2 jailbreak 4.3

I had little choice but to update.. The battery on my iPad 2 is really bad compared to my iPad 1. I wanted to update before sending it back for a replacement because Apple doesn't usually replace batteries I don't think. Needless to say, it's still crap and I haven't sent it back.
But... A question often asked here is why the iPad 2 is so hard to jailbreak. It's been said that it's because the hardware is new. But Apple didn't patch the hardware in 4.3.1 obviously, so isn't it not really true that the new hardware is what's keeping it being jailbroken?

Apple did patch the exploit in 4.3.1, that's why devs are hinting it may only be for 4.3 initially and to not upgrade if you are on 4.3.

everything is pure speculation for how it happened, nobody knows.

well, was it possible that apple and comex found the same exploit independently, then apple went ahead to patch it, or is that nearly impossible?
Don't get hung up trying to answer this conundrum. We will NEVER know unless someone comes out and says "it was me"...
Depending on the exploit, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that it was patched legitimately, just because a developer had discovered the vulnerability and fixed it. Code is tested for vulnerabilities for a variety of reasons throughout it's life... OR someone told Apple... We'll never know...

hey guys!
Newest tweet from p0sixninja: (sorry moderators, but i won't post a link to twitter i'll just paste it below)
@c4rm0 4.3 is the only thing for sure. I still need to talk to @i0n1c about the other versions. We're crossing our fingers
so im assuming i0nic is somehow involved with the iPad 2 jailbreak for the newer firmwares 4.3.x even after the whole ELEVATOR joke. i knew it.
