MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has recently confirmed via Twitter that the iPhone 4S (and iPad 2) have been jailbroken on iOS 5. Of course, this claim did not come without proof as you can see in the screenshot to the right and the video demonstration at the end of this post.
Unfortunately, this is a very early version of the jailbreak, and an ETA on a release date is not to be expected for a while. Still, those who purchased an iPhone 4S can now get their hopes up for being able to use the many amazing unofficial third-party apps, tweaks, and themes that Cydia has to offer sometime in the future.
MuscleNerd has not specified whether this jailbreak is tethered or untethered, but even a tethered jailbreak is better than the nothing. We'll have to wait a bit before we hear more about this jailbreak, but at least this is some great news for the future of jailbreaking the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, especially if it turns out to be untethered.
Watch a video demonstration of the jailbreak running on an iPad 2 below:
