If you're a serial jailbreaker who also has access to Apple's early iOS developer releases, you can rest easy—for now. A beta of iOS 6.1.1, released to developers on Wednesday, largely focuses on improvements to Maps in Japan and mysteriously comes with no expiration date. But the main point of concern for some users—whether the update would reset the recently released jailbreak for iOS 6.1—appears to be of no concern at all.

The recent untethered jailbreak tool, "evasi0n," was released on Monday this week, though a 1.1 update was issued last night with a number of fixes that were first posted to Cydia. The tool makes use of a previously undisclosed exploit available in all versions of iOS 6, making it possible for users to customize and install non-App-Store apps to their iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches.

But as we wrote earlier this week, new versions of iOS often patch these flaws once they're exploited—by jailbreaking tools or otherwise—so the jailbreaks don't often last long unless users don't upgrade.

That's why some iOS 6.x users are happy to report (via iDownloadBlog) that the 6.1.1 beta doesn't appear to change anything that affects the evasi0n jailbreak; it means they can install the latest beta without worrying about reverting their settings. Still, their jubilation is likely to be short-lived, as Apple often issues multiple betas before sending the final version out to the public. It's highly likely that Apple simply hasn't gotten to this particular security flaw yet and that it's on the punch list for the next release. Jailbreakers can have their cake and eat it too—until another beta comes out.
