Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated February 7, 2016

Love him or hate him, i0n1c has skills. Want proof? A little over a half an hour ago he showcased his new iPad (iPad 3) running Cydia on iOS 5.1.1. Said firmware was just released. I understand that this is a result of being able to jailbreak 5.1, but the fact still stands that he has the talent that the jailbreak community could benefit from.

As you're probably well aware of, i0n1c has an interesting relationship with the jailbreak community. On one hand, he's a clearly talented hacker that can solve some of the most perplexing issues regarding iOS jailbreaking.

On the other hand, he continues to spite the community with rants about piracy, money, and an overall disdain towards jailbreaking in general...

Corona Updated to Bring Support for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0

Sébastien Page ∙ January 31, 2012

It's a big day for Corona. After being updated this morning to fix the DRM issues in iBooks, Saurik just tweeted that the untether has been updated yet again, this time to resolve problems with the iPhone 4S running iOS 5.

Corona 1.0-8: @sbingner noticed that 1.0-6/7 failed on iPhone 4S 5.0 (the only supported 5.0 build; absinthe's Corona had worked): fixed. :(

— Jay Freeman (saurik) (@saurik) January 31, 2012

If you're having problems with iBooks on your jailbroken device, you can install Corona directly from Cydia. If you've already installed Corona, you can simply update it via Cydia and you should be good to go.
