Earlier today, Chronic Dev Team was reporting that Absinthe, the first iPhone 4S-compatible jailbreaking utility, was downloaded more than 1 million times last Friday. That’s huge.
And the Dev Team seems to back up that theory with a new blog post entitled “Welcome new A5 jailbreakers!” The post breaks down how many people installed Cydia over the weekend, and on what devices…
“Here’s a quick breakdown of how many A5 owners have jailbroken their devices since Friday morning. The numbers as of Monday afternoon are:
Total: 953,232 new A5 jailbreaks in a little over 3 days.
- 491,325 new iPhone 4S devices
- 308,967 new iPad 2 devices
- 152,940 previously jailbroken (at 4.x) iPad 2 devices
The reason these numbers can be so precise is that one of the housekeeping activities that happens when you launch Cydia is a query to @saurik’s server for the list of available SHSH blobs. (Even if you have none on file, the query is still made).”
So around 800,000 devices were jailbroken this weekend for the first time. That’s pretty cool.
