New iPhone Unlock Coming After iOS 4.3 Release

Some key players in the jailbreak community are feuding again. Members of The iPhone Dev Team and The Chronic Dev Team have been bickering back and forth about who has the best jailbreak and/or unlock for current iDevices. If you follow these folks on Twitter, you know what I’m talking about. In my opinion, this is all ridiculous. If these guys could all work together, maybe they’d get somewhere.

Out of all this arguing comes a confirmation that The iPhone Dev Team have an unlock for current basebands, but they are not releasing it until newer firmware has been officially released. Musclenerd had this to say:

Official iPhone unlock statement: no unlock will be released until after 4.2.5 or official 4.3 (whichever is last) is out

My guess is, iOS 4.3 will be out last, as iOS 4.2.5 and the Verizon iPhone 4 are probably just about ready to ship. We’ll see iOS 4.3 probably around the release of the new iPad. Again, just my best guess.
