A lot of iPhone / iPad users and iOS developers would be happy to get an open mobile firmware version from Apple that allows installing third-party programs and software without jailbreaking your iDevice. One famous hacker, mostly known as pod2g, has publicly suggested open iOS and Apple should create such a firmware. The idea of Pod2g is to create a version of iOS that gives users more freedom. This version should be open up and allow changing settings manually in order to install games, apps and programs you need. Tim Cook has shared Apple’s point of view on this issue. Since the online petition tagged “WeWantAnOpeniOS” created by Pod2g got over 11 thousand signings, Apple had to respond to this voiceless idea. Tim Cook, Apples’ CEO, assures this plan is actually considered by the Cupertino-based tech giant. The recent D11 conference allowed us to hear Cook’s opinion on the most problematic issues. He told his interviewers that the famous iPhone maker actually supports open iOS project. It plans to make it real for iOS devs. There will be nothing changed that could hurt users or risk their iPhone / iPad experience. While Cook gives a hint that developers will see Apple opening up its mobile operating system for them, we also wish to hear your opinion. Do you think jailbreaking should be replaced with an open iOS? Would you like to get less control from Apple on what you are doing with your iGadget? Still opening up more doesn’t mean that Pod2g’s idea will be implemented to the fullest. I think ordinary users will still not be able to add third-party programs and games. Thus jailbreaking will still be alive and doing well helping those customers who don’t like to be tied to Apple’s rules. Let’s now pay our attention to WWDC 2013 that starts tomorrow. Maybe we’ll learn more about an open iOS system.
