With the super team (or “dream team”) of iOS jailbreak hackers (better known as Chronic Dev-Team), the A5 (iPhone 4S and iPad 2) untethered jailbreak has been achieved thanks to GreenPois0n Absinthe.

Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone 4S & iPad 2!

This release should come as no surprise to those of you who have been following pod2g’s iOS blog for the past few months. Earlier this week, you might have even wet your pants a little when you watched the video demonstration of today’s release (named Absinthe A5) and first witnessed our jailbreak working its magic to liberate both the iPhone 4S & iPad 2.

What you may not fully realize yet is just how hard the exploits in this Apple A5 jailbreak are working behind the scenes – and, though I mentioned it last week on my Twitter – what a glorious hacker’s wet dream the Absinthe A5 toolkit has ultimately evolved into!

As of now GreenPois0n Absinthe is for Mac only, however, a Windows version is coming shortly. You can download GreenPois0n Absinthe from this mirror or this mirror.
