A new survey of recent iPhone 4S buyers has found that 21% are opting for the 64GB version. The survey also found a significant percentage of them are coming from other operating systems.

So far, a half million iPhone 4S users have taken advantage of the new 4S jailbreak. The jailbreak was a long time coming since the A5 processor was so hard to crack.

The delay in launching a jailbreak for the device was in cracking the A5 processor and that bit was apparently not at all easy to accomplish. The jailbreak is called GreenPois0n Absinthe. There are a few catches, notably the untethered break is for Mac only.

The other caveat is that it will only work on devices running iOS 5.0.1 and any update to iOS will lose your jailbreak. I bet the jailbreaks to support the new updates would come much faster now that the processor has been cracked.
