Ever since Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, there have a number of reasons to jailbreak it.
Even though Apple has added features to iOS such as copy and paste, Custom Wallpaper, multitasking, Notification Center, FaceTime over cellular etc, that were only possible if you had jailbroken your iOS device, the jailbreak community has continued to release some amazing tweaks and apps that still make it quite compelling to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
With the imminent launch of the evasi0n jailbreak for nearly all iOS 6.x devices, one of the frequently asked question is what do I need to prepare for the jailbreak.
So in this article, I try to answer that question based on previous jailbreaks and the information provided by the evad3rs dev team.
One of the concerns people seem to have with the imminent release of the evasi0n jailbreak for iOS 6.x is whether Cydia will be able to handle the load.
If you had jailbroken your iOS device when a new jailbreak like the absinthe jailbreak is released then you may remember that Cydia had some performance related issues, especially while reloading data.
It looks like Sunday is indeed going to be a funday!
Earlier today, evad3rs dev team announced that the tool for the untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1 to iOS 6 will be called evasi0n.
We continue to get more details about the untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak from the evad3rs dev team.
planetbeing of the evad3rs dev team has confirmed that the untethered jailbreak will support iOS 6, iOS 6.0.1 and iOS 6.0.2.
With the launch of the untethered jailbreak for nearly all iOS 6.1 compatible devices imminent, which could be released as early as this Sunday, the Cydia developers are scrambling to get their jailbreak tweaks and apps ready for the big day.
When pod2g dared Apple to release iOS 6.1, we assumed that the hackers had the jailbreak ready for it, however weren’t completely confident.
We’ve now got a confirmation that it is indeed is true. In an interview with iDigitalTimes, pod2g has confirmed that an jailbreak for iOS 6.1 is ready and has credited team members planetbeing and pimskeks for it.
Things on the jailbreak scene are definitely picking up steam.
Couple of days back, planetbeing and pod2g brought the good news that they have made a lot of progress and the future of jailbreaking was looking very bright. pod2g seems to have even hinted that they’ve a jailbreak ready and all they’re waiting for is Apple to release the iOS 6.1 update.
