Everybody wants the new features brought by iOS 5 ever since it was announced by Steve Jobs last June. Well, like everybody else, I am also very excited to use the new features like the iMessage, Newstand, etc. But wait; don’t rush to the latest version of iOS especially if you rely on jailbreak!

If you are using a jailbroken iPhone at version 4.3.3, you still have the most stable jailbreak. If you are now using iOS 5, do not upgrade to iOS 5.0.1. This is because once you are on iOS 5.0.1, there is no way you can downgrade to any previous iOS versions.

This warning came from the Chronice-Dev Team spokesman @MuscleNerd from his tweet. But if you don’t care about jailbreak, it’s still better to have the latest iOS version on your iPhone.

Currently, the Chronic-Dev Team is doing their best to release the untethered jailbreak for the iOS 5 but we don’t exactly know when this will happen. The tweet was posted by @pod2g that a new bug he discovered will lead to an untethered jailbreak for the iOS 5. Let’s just hope that it will release before another update in Apple’s iOS.

In the meantime, if you have a jailbroken iPhone right now, just don’t upgrade until the release of the next untethered jailbreak. Enjoy!
