Just two days after the release of the evasi0n iOS 6.0-6.1 jailbreak comes the first iOS 6.1.1 beta for developers. The build number is 10B311, and according to @ih8sn0w, this build doesn’t even come with an expiration date, leaving many to wonder if it really is a beta, or what Apple will be publicly posting later this week. Regardless, you’ll find the release notes inside, but here’s a spoiler: it’s incredibly short. Also, if you’re new to jailbreaking, the number one rule is that you should never update to a newer version of iOS when it’s released, especially if it’s a beta.
Changelog
