Re: IOS6 and iPhone 5

I'm not surprised the cck got rejected. I've prodded around a cck pcb With an oscilloscope and the only clever bit in it is the chip that identifies the device to the iOS. Something akin to this
Hello what's just been plugged in
It's me a cck
Go away you can't have the port
The USB pins are just straight through so the only purpose of the chip is so Apple can lock out stuff that isn't part of the "made for apple" third party manufacturers program. Guess what. They take a big bite out of the third parties backside for this licensing crap. It forces prices high and, more importantly, stops us being creative due to poor device options. Yes Apple, like in the Shawshwnk Redemtion, get kickbacks on their kickbacks. All legally of course.
I didn't know there was a cck hack. I've never jail broken an iPhone but having tried ios6 and immediately downgraded to ios5.1.1 may give it a go on my 4s. I won't ask for links or guides here because we don't want the Apple Inquisition to start coming down on pwnified.
