Now that iOS 7 is out, attention has of course turned to whether or not an iOS 7 jailbreak will be possible. In this post, we want to look at all the details we have so far starting from the last iOS 6 jailbreak.
The first thing we can definitely say is that progress is being made but that those of your hoping for a jailbreak very soon are going to be disappointed. Jailbreaks take time and often a couple of months before we see anything concrete. It is more likely that we won't see anything until iOS 7.1 or further. The good news though is that certain members of the jailbreak community have found some exploits and they are working to see if these can be turned into a jailbreak.
Planetbeing who is a member of the Evad3rs team has been on Twitter to confirm that they are looking into the iOS 7 GM which was released to developers. He also went on to say that his team has achieved unsigned userland based code execution in iOS 7 and they are going to start exploring the kernel next. It is still too early to make anything out of this but it is great to see that the Evad3rs team are actively working on jailbreaking iOS 7.
Since the launch of Evasi0n which provided an untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 and was later patch by Apple with iOS 6.1.3, there has been some recent breakthroughs. It seems that iOS 6.1.4 has been jailbroken by Winocm which is again great news for those who lost their jailbreak by updating their firmware.
If you are running a jailbroken iOS device and you want to keep it intact, or you are running iOS 6.1.4 and in need of a jailbreak, do not upgrade to iOS 7 until you receive further confirmation from either Evad3rs or Winocm. We will keep you updated with everything that happens and as soon as we have any information on a jailbreak for iOS 7 you will be the first to know.
