It's finally here. The long awaited jailbreak solution for iOS 6. We can all rejoyce, Evasi0n has been released by Evad3rs and it gives users an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1 on nearly every device. This untethered jailbreak is available for windows, Mac and Linux.
Earlier this year Team Evad3rs was established and this group comprises of some of the jailbreak community's most talented developers. Names include Pod2g, Planetbeing, MuscleNerd and more. All of these people have produced reliable jailbreaks in the past. This group was assembled in order to develop an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 for post A5 devices including the iPhone 5, iPad mini and the latest generation iPad. All of this was achieved on Monday with a userland jailbreak tool called Evasi0n.
If you own an iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad mini, iPod touch 4 or iPod touch 5 you can now jailbreak it using Evasi0n. The iOS firmware versions that are supported by Evasi0n include iOS 6.0, iOS 6.0.1, iOS 6.0.2 and iOS 6.1. The only device that isn't supported by Evasi0n is the Apple TV 3.
The new Evasi0n tool is very user friendly although we do have to remind all users not to update their devices over the air and instead to download the latest iOS 6.1 firmware and update it via iTunes or the standalone ISPW to take full advantage of the new features of iOS 6.1 with the added benefits of this untethered jailbreak.
It has been a long time coming. IOS 6 was originally released in September of last year and it features many improvements including a radically revamped Maps App, Facebook Integration and improvement to Siri, Mail and other native apps. With iOS 6.1 officially released last Monday and now Evasi0n those who have been waiting to jailbreak their idevices can finally do so.
