As we get closer to Apple’s release of iOS 7, more and more jailbreak developers are finding ways around the company’s iOS 6 codes. The team that created a hack to allow T-Mobile iPhone 5 users increased data speed has just released a similar hack for AT&T. This one apparently also supports data performance for LTE and HSPA+ for the iPad.
According to Cult of Mac, Joe Brown and Sky Zangas, the creators of iTweakiOS have announced the launch of a tweak to iPads running on AT&T’s network that increases data speeds.
“This hack enables Release 9 DC-HSPA+ on the iPhone 5 and iPad 3, 4, and mini as well as enhancing LTE data and signal. Though AT&T is limited to HSPA+ 21, the device itself becomes more open to an increased amount of bandwidth thus allowing for better throughput of data and data connection,” wrote Brown.
