On Friday the Chronic Dev Team released Absinthe 2.0. This tool is used to jailbreak iOS 5.1.1 across virtually all devices. The recent release has already far surpassed the first version of Absinthe’s jailbreak numbers…
Over the weekend, Absinthe has been used over 1 million times to jailbreak iOS 5.1.1 devices. This is a very impressive number and certainly one to celebrate over. The long anticipated jailbreak has already beaten the previous version of Absinthe released back in January.
The Chronic Dev Team recently tweeted about the successful launch:
Some stats since release of #Absinthe – 211,401 jailbroken iPad3’s and 973,086 devices newly jailbroken! #JBFTW ! ;D

The first version of Absinthe was used to jailbreak 953,232 A5 devices over 3 days. In the short time Absinthe 2.0 has been out, it’s beaten that number quite a bit.
The number of users jailbreaking devices is constantly rising. With the addition of the new iPad added to the list, it’s no surprise these numbers are so high.
