Barely three days have passed since Geohot released the fabled Blackra1n jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS (which is now available for the Mac, pictured) and Apple has already issued a smackdown to the iPhone Dev Team.

Apple is attempting to stop the jailbreak in its tracks by shipping new iPhones with an updated bootrom (iBoot-359.3.2) that is resistant to the 24kpwn exploit used by the Dev-Team and others to jailbreak the iPhone. BGR notes that the DevTeam has confirmed that Apple's new bootrom update makes new iPhone’s “impossible” to JB – for now.
