Trying to figure out what difference that makes, or why you bring up jailbreaking at all.

It appears he's suggesting flaws exploited in the jailbreak are related to flaws that allow you to bypass the passcode.

Seems unlikely, but still :)

Well just out of curiosity. I mentioned the jailbreak because now people can have root access which could be useful, I don't know. Maybe the timing is just an coincident.

I believe this bug applies to all devices running 6.1, which includes the iPhone 4; we have a permanent jailbreak for the iPhone 4, due to the limera1n bootloader exploit, and thereby have had people using jailbroken 6.1 iPhone 4's (which are quite popular, even still being sold new) for a while.
