At this year's �Hack in the Box� conference which was held in Amsterdam, Evad3rs presented their Evasi0n jailbreak and took some time to answer some of the common questions in an exclusive Q&A session with the press. The video recording of this is available on YouTube for everyone to see.
When Evad3rs were asked about a viable jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3, Pod2g stated that they wouldn't be wasting their time. This means that those who may have been holding out hope for an untethered jailbreak for Apple's latest firmware offering can stop now. Evad3rs pretty much took themselves out of the running on this one. The team do however have several potential exploits on the table for an eventual jailbreak of a more significant iOS version in the future so that is some pretty cool news.
There really is no point in Evad3rs spending time searching for exploits for iOS 6.1.3 when it is more than likely that we will see the next major iOS release later this year and any exploits that they are holding up their sleeves would be better off staying there until then. After all, when iOS 7 and the next generation iPhone hits the shelves people are going to want to be able to jailbreak these and personally we think Evad3rs should hold their cards close to their chest until then. If they were to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 their exploits would be patched by Apple in the next firmware release so it's better for them to wait.
We can't rule out the possiblity of a third party working to bring an untethered jailbreak to the latest iOS firmware release but it does seem pretty improbable. The message to take from this, is that if you are running a device on iOS 6.1.3, you won't be getting an untethered jailbreak any time soon, if ever.
Those who have just purchased a device running iOS 6.1.3 have sadly missed the boat as you can only jailbreak up as far as iOS 6.1.2 but when iOS 7 releases later this year everyone will be on a level playing field again as the jailbreak community looks once more to try and find the exploits in Apple's new offering.
