Apple Looking for iPhone OS Platform Security Manager

09 Nov, 2009, 1:51 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Smartphones

The term Jailbreaking has become quite synonymous with Apple’s iPhone or iPod Touch. For every update that Apple releases upgrading the firmware of the devices there’s been a Jailbreak tool available. The 3GS hasn’t even hit all markets yet, and by that I mean ours of course, and a jailbreak “blacksn0w,” is already out.

This is all great for iPhone and iPod Touch users, but Apple obviously has issues. In fact according to a report, the company has in fact posted a listing for a job opening under the designation - iPhone OS Platform Security Manager. Quite a ‘high profile’ job you might say.

Whoever the new guy will be will have a lot to contend with. Could this be the end of the jailbreak hack? Or just a speed bump in the road? We’ll just have to wait and see.
