No, jailbreak isn't available yet.
Apple is strictly against jailbreaking. They upgraded security features in the new chip, plus 64-bit desktop class architecture doesn't make it any easier.
There is no official release date for it. I'm guessing it's gonna take a while.

I hate when you guys jailbreak iPhones, I always have to restore them back to normal before I sell them.

Installed it 2 days ago on my mother's iPhone 4s. I think its pretty good update. If Nexus 5 won't surprise me, I'll switch to iPhone 5s.

The New Nexus is simply the LG G2 with a pure Google experience running 4.4 Kit Kat.
I have a Galaxy Nexus and was waiting for the Nexus 5. But just pre ordered the Note 3. Tired of waiting . But the LG G2 is still a awesome phone.

[EverettCD]

So far so good. I just updated it a couple hours ago so I'm still in discovery mode.

[ppwc1985]

I'm lovin it, except for one app everything else is working fine.

[Back In Black]

Since I downloaded it, whenever I try and edit a post with more than one paragraph (including a quote), it removes the paragraphs and clumps them into one paragraph. Anyone else getting this before I report it?

[Trevtrev]

I don't like the new cartoon look, but do like some of the new features.

[DSM4Life]

I just got it today. Not sure if I'm a fan or not.

[tdoe11]

I like it. Does it seem a bit slower though?

[ppwc1985]

Lol, everyone having different results cause mine is faster, but my FaceTime is really slow coming in line. As usual there will be some bugs and once they have them fixed they will send a couple updates. Overall, so far me experience I'll give it an 8-9

I don't like the way messaging or email looks native anymore. Other than that it's fine. I am running it on my i5. I just installed second party apps for my email accounts and messaging and I am happy again

Upgrade is going to make older phones like my 4s seem a little slower because it uses more resources. This is the same reason why the battery does not last as long. I like the upgrade except for one thing --

My damn email (gmail) keeps showing I have new mail and I don't. Tried all the fixes I found online and nothing.

I have gmail on the new 7 and don't have this issue. My 4S doesn't feel bogged down at all. I guess I just need to give it a few days to see if it sticks. If not I think my next upgrade will be an android.

I found turning off a lot if the bells and whistles really made the battery life better as well. The moving background is cool and all but not productive. Made a huge difference turning off the background, drop box, location services and all the other normal things you don't need running all the time like wifi, blue tooth etc

I will try shutting some stuff down, I also notice the push notifications are working a little different. This morning I woke up and checked my phone and the powerball winning numbers were on my lock screen. I know little notifications like this have to consume power.

I also have the ipad mini. I love it for surfing but I am finding I am using my phone more and more for daily surfing/texting and a slightly larger screen would be nice. Nothing too big but I think the day of the 3.5 inch screen is over.

this is why i didnt go out and get an iphone 5s. I am going to tough it out with my iphone 5 till the 6 comes out. I just didnt see a real significant difference? 64 bit processor on the new phone but what do we really need that for yet? Thumb print eh i dont really need that either.

[DSM4Life]

I am still on the 4s and not sure what I am going to do. The 5s would be a decent upgrade for my 4s but all it will do is make my phone faster with a slight longer screen. I might hold out for the 6 or give android a try.

[MuscleInk]

I'm on the fence. I have the 4s and my contract is renewable. I've considered the 5s but agree the new features may not warrant the $399 (x2) cost to upgrade my two phones.

[DSM4Life]

Oh by the way 64bit is pretty much worthless right now. Unless the software supports the hardware it pointless to have. It will in the future but not with the current programs.

Exactly!!! That's why I am waiting it out for the 6

German group claims to have hacked Apple iPhone fingerprint scanner

(Reuters) - A group of German hackers claimed to have cracked the iPhone fingerprint scanner on Sunday, just two days after Apple Inc launched the technology that it promises will better protect devices from criminals and snoopers seeking access.

If the claim is verified, it will be embarrassing for Apple which is betting on the scanner to set its smartphone apart from new models of Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and others running the Android operating system of Google Inc.

Two prominent iPhone security experts told Reuters that they believed the German group, known as the Chaos Computing Club, or CCC, had succeeded in defeating Apple's Touch ID, though they had not personally replicated the work.

One of them, Charlie Miller, co-author of the iOS Hacker's Handbook, described the work as "a complete break" of Touch ID security. "It certainly opens up a new possibility for attackers."

Apple representatives did not respond to requests for comment.

CCC, one the world's largest and most respected hacking groups, posted a video on its website that appeared to show somebody accessing an iPhone 5S with a fabricated print. The site described how members of its biometrics team had cracked the new fingerprint reader, one of the few major high-tech features added to the latest version of the iPhone.

The group said they targeted Touch ID to knock down reports about its "marvels," which suggested it would be difficult to crack.

"Fingerprints should not be used to secure anything. You leave them everywhere, and it is far too easy to make fake fingers out of lifted prints," a hacker named Starbug was quoted as saying on the CCC's site.

The group said it defeated Touch ID by photographing the fingerprint of an iPhone's user, then printing it on to a transparent sheet, which it used to create a mold for a "fake finger."

CCC said similar processes have been used to crack "the vast majority" of fingerprint sensors on the market.

"I think it's legit," said Dino Dai Zovi," another co-author of the iOS Hacker's Handbook. "The CCC doesn't fool around or over-hype, especially when they are trying to make a political point."

Touch ID, which was only introduced on the top-of-the-line iPhone 5S, lets users unlock their devices or make purchases on iTunes by simply pressing their finger on the home button. It uses a sapphire crystal sensor embedded in the button.

Data used for verification is encrypted and stored in a secure enclave of the phone's A7 processor chip.

Two security experts who sponsored an impromptu competition offering cash and other prizes to the first hackers who cracked the iPhone said they had reviewed the information posted on the CCC website, but wanted more documentation.

"We are simply awaiting a full video documentation and walk through of the process that they have claimed," said mobile security researcher Nick DePetrillo, who started the contest with another security expert, Robert Graham. "When they deliver that video we will review it."

The two of them each put up $100 toward a prize for the contest winner, then set up a website inviting others to contribute. While the booty now includes more than $13,000 in cash, it was not clear that the CCC would receive the full payout, even if DePetrillo and Graham declared them winners.

A micro venture capital firm known as I/O Capital, which had offered to pay $10,000 of the prize money, issued a press release late on Sunday saying that it would make its own determination about who won the contest.

Guess they will have to go with retina scan for the iphone 6.
