Not for those who had or wants to jailbreak the iPhone, the new Apple iOS 4.0.2 software update released this week will disabled the jail breaking function on jailbreakme.com. Other than patching up the loophole or security vulnerability, this software update does not apply any significant changes to your current iOS 4. It will be your choice to carry on the software update or keep your jail break. [via slashgear]
