Ah ok. Makes sense. But the effect is the same in that for A5 devices here out - we'll always be able to downgrade. Right?

I don't know maybe Apple will be able to fix the APTicket loop hole. I think they can only do that with a new iOS tho. Not sure. Which is another reason I'm not getting the 4S til there is a bootrom exploit....this loop hole may potentially be patched. Really not sure tho.

ih8sn0w tweeted that his APTicket loophole can be patched by Apple unfortunately, so we can only count on it being useful for 5.0, 5.0.1 and 5.1.
