EVASION JAILBREAK: UNTETHERED EVASI0N JAILBREAK IOS 6.1.3 JAILBREAK IPHONE 4S, iPHONE 5, IPAD 4, iPAD MINI, iPOD
P0sixninja Discovers Yet Another 6.1.3 Jailbreak Exploit For Future Use With iOS 7 - Last night, following p0sixninja's previous announcement regarding his solo mission to develop a new Untethered jailbreak for future iOS 7 firmwares, the prominent and well-established hacker sent out a tweet to his followers that's nothing short of tantalizing. As most of our readers are already aware, the popular jailbreak utility known as Evasi0n was patched by Apple on March 19th with the release of iOS 6.1.3 – a minor update issued to correct a known lock screen bug and to improve the Maps app for Japanese users. Since Apple release iOS 6.1.3 to the public, the vast majority of questions we've received over the past few weeks are related to whether or not 6.1.3 can be jailbroken. While the short answer is yes, there is a jailbreak available for iOS 6.1.3, it only supports older iPod touch and iPhone models due to its inability to function on devices powered by Apple's A5 processor or newer. That's why another untethered utility is paramount to the future of jailbreaking.
New Jailbreak 6.1.3 Exploit Discovered For Future iOS 7 Firmwares
The Next UnTethered Jailbreak Will Come After New iDevices And iOS 7
As per his typical short and concise style, p0sixninja informed his followers that he's discovered yet another exploit for a jailbreak he's been developing in secret over the past few months. However, it's crucial to realize that his tweet is in no way an indication of an upcoming public jailbreak.
In one of our more recent posts on Evaion Jailbreak, we revealed that neither pod2g of the evad3rs (the team behind evasi0n) nor p0sixninja plan to release a new jailbreak that supports iOS 6.1.3 any time in the foreseeable future. Apple's latest firmware simply isn't a substantial enough update for any Dev Team to create an entirely new jailbreak around it, only to have Apple patch said jailbreak with another minor iOS installment. The developers on the jailbreak scene would be better off to wait for new iDevices and iOS 7 to be released before issuing the next jailbreak; this method of waiting will ensure maximum jailbreak compatibility for both hardware and software.
Shortly after his initial tweet, p0sixninja sent another hopeful tweet to his followers regarding HITB, which stands for Hack In The Box: a popular convention and platform for discussing iOS vulnerabilities. This latest development certainly comes as welcome news for jailbreak enthusiasts everywhere.
