Tech stories from around the world!

This time around, the iPhone Dev Team beat Geohot to the punch with the release of the first iPhone 3.1.3 jailbreak in the form of PwnageTool 3.1.5 for the Mac platform. This should definitely bring a smile to the faces of jailbreaking aficionados out there interested in upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1.3.

This is compatible with all versions of the iPhone and iPod Touch though it won’t work on iPhone 3G S and 2G iPod Touch units with the new bootrom loaded on it. However, the iPhone Dev Team still warns people who enjoy their unlocked and jailbroken iPhones to stay away from this latest iPhone firmware update unless they really feel the need to upgrade to it to address some serious issues. iPhone 3G S users who are already on 3.1.3 also need to downgrade to iPhone 3.1.2 for this particular jailbreak to work.

They have a bunch of other precautions listed on their site that they strongly recommend you read before trying this out. If you still have the same desire to give PwnageTool 3.1.5 a go after reading all their warnings, go ahead. Just don’t forget to hit us up in the comments section below as we’d certainly love to hear your take on this latest PwnageTool.
