The thing is guys, they will eventually be able to detect the end user(if not already). Regardless of whether or not we know how to hack the phone, they want to find you to prevent average joe from installing a jailbreak. For now though, ur r both right in saying we are safe. I can still access the App Store no problem, but I am no longer able to update from my ID. Maybe this is the heuristic type response I mentioned in the post, but it still has me worried.

Thanks for the comment Brendan. As you say, the average user isn’t a threat to Apple, they have no idea how to jailbreak a phone. It’s the guys that pioneer the break and give the directions to the masses that are the threat.

I don’t think this applies to the average jailbreaker, mostly just the known devs…

I think you’re right that it’s probably more of a scare tactic than anything else.
