The Evad3rs Will Not Jailbreak iOS 6.1.3, Pod2g Confirms Upcoming UnTethered Jailbreak - In a series of tweets, pod2g confirmed what we at Evasion Jailbreak have suspected since Apple released their new iOS 6.1.3 firmware, and in doing so, effectively patching the evasi0n Untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.0 through 6.1.2. After publicly announcing on Twitter that pod2g had discovered “another exploitable use-after-free in WebKit,” a number of the hacker’s followers started pummeling him with iOS 6.1.3 jailbreak questions, thinking that his tweet may have been related to jailbreaking. In a response to one follower, pod2g confirmed that the evad3rs simply aren’t working on a 6.1.3 jailbreak - however don’t fret, his tweet also contains great news.

Evad3rs Will Not Jailbreak 6.1.3, Pod2g Confirms Future Untethered Utility

In his bittersweet answer, pod2g stated that the developers and major players in the world of jailbreaking (namely the evad3rs) won’t develop a jailbreak for Apple’s latest 6.1.3 firmware, as it’s a minor update. This is exactly what we’ve told our readers since Apple released iOS 6.1.3 on March 19^th.

. @xld2s59 we are not working on a 6.1.3 jailbreak, that would be too much efforts for a minimal update. We’re waiting for a major release.

The last part of pod2g’s tweet is rather intriguing, this part in particular: “We’re waiting for a major release”. As we previously suspected, the evad3rs are holding off on developing another UnTethered jailbreak for Apple’s latest devices until the next “major release”.

In the past, developers have waited for both new iDevices, and new versions of iOS, to release untethered jailbreak utilities and because it’s rumored that the iPhone 5S will be released sometime in the months to come, that may be the case this time as well.

Additionally, p0sixninja confirmed last week that he’s also in the process of developing a new jailbreak that he will wait to release when he deems fit, which may be sometime after after iOS 7.

Look, I said “the next jailbreak” I never said 6.1.3. if you read that article by @cammywrites you’d see I said 7.0.x or maybe even 7.1.x
