Future Jailbreak for iOS 7 In Development

Future Jailbreak for iOS 7 In Development, Apple Announces WWDC 2013 – Earlier this morning, Apple announced the company’s annual World Wide Developers Conference, more commonly known as WWDC, will take place from June 10^th to the 14^th at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California. During the event, Apple is expected to provide an “in-depth look at what’s next in iOS [7] and OS X,” as stated on Apple’s own developer site. As most of our readers are already aware, Apple’s semi-recent release of iOS 6.1.3 effectively patched a number of vulnerabilities exploited by Evasi0n in the iOS 6 jailbreak, leaving those who updated stuck on the latest firmware without a jailbreak in sight. However,  both p0sixninja and the evad3rs have confirmed that they’ll develop new jailbreak utilities once Apple releases iOS 7 to the general public.

At Evasion Jailbreak, we’re often asked why the developers and hackers on the jailbreak scene insist on waiting until iOS 7 before releasing a new jailbreak utility. Essentially, iOS 6.1.3 is simply too minor of an update to justify the use of additional exploits that could otherwise be saved and put to use for an iOS 7 jailbreak.

Hypothetically speaking, if either p0sixninja or the evad3rs were to release a jailbreak for 6.1.3, Apple would surely patch said jailbreak with another minor firmware release prior to iOS 7, likely 6.1.4. If that were the case, we’d be back at square one and the cycle would start over again, as 6.1.4 wouldn’t be jailbreakable on the latest devices. It’s best, from a strategic standpoint, for the developers to wait until both new versions of iOS and new iDevices are released before pushing out a jailbreak that will inevitably be patched in a short period of time.

Now, back to WWDC, in a rather odd move, Apple also announced that tickets for the conference will go on sale tomorrow at 10:00am Pacific Time for a undoubtedly high price of $1,599, identical to last year’s ticket prices. However, instead of making tickets available to purchase immediately following the conference’s announcement, like in years past, Apple decided to give developers advanced notice and allow everyone an equal opportunity to purchase tickets.

Although last year’s conference sold out in just under two hours, selling nearly 84 percent faster than WWDC 2011 which sold out in roughly 12 hours, it’s likely that tickets for WWDC 2013 will be gone faster than you can say ,”World Wide Developers Conference”.

Looking forward, we know that new Untethered jailbreak utilities will indeed be developed for iOS 7 – it’s not a matter of “if,” but “when”.

With both iOS 7 and OS X scheduled to be key points of World Wide Developers Conference 2013, the excitement amongst Apple fanatics couldn’t be higher as we slowly approach the event that will reveal what’s next for the company we have all come to know and love.
