Have one of those 7 million jailbroken iDevices? Like it that way? Then wait, stop, don’t touch anything. iOS 6.1.3 is poised to ruin your day, and there might not be any going back.
iOS 6.1.3 is only in beta right now, so the matter isn’t that urgent, but it looks like when it does come out, it’s going to eat your jailbreak for breakfast and keep you from fixing it. Seems that Apple has fixed one of the five crucial exploits evasi0n needs to survive. One of evasi0n’s creators, David Wang, explained the bad news to Forbes:
“If one of the vulnerabilities doesn’t work, evasi0n doesn’t work. We could replace that part with a different vulnerability, but [Apple] will probably fix most if not all of the bugs we’ve used when 6.1.3 comes out.”
So it’s not the end of the jailbreaking line, but with each batch of patched exploits, the job is going to get that much harder. And So if you’ve got a jailbreaked device, don’t don’t don’t install any updates without a little research. You should probably wait for word from the evad3rs themselves. [Forbes]












Jailbreaking Your iOS Device Probably Killed the Weather App, Here's How To Fix It
An iOS 6.1 Jailbreak for iPhone 5 Is Definitely, Probably, Maybe Coming This Sunday
iOS 6.1.3 Beta Fixes iPhone Lock Screen Security Hole
This seems roughly along the lines of “water is wet” kind of information, really…
It’s confirmation that even if Apple aren’t as exciting anymore, they’re just as good at being dicks.
Best comment I’ve read all day : )
Someone give that man a star
You do realise that your can do it, since you have a star?
Who cares? Nothing will change in iOS which is worth losing a jailbreak for until iOS 7.
Let’s hope iOS 7 bring back some competition to the Apple vs Android fight. Motivated fanboys are very importante to keep our mobile development jobs
I agree, having left iOS after using it since release to go to Android. Apple are slacking!
ios sucks hard
Trolls suck hard
tbh jailbreaking ain’t all that, it’s just like having an android phone, its more open but half the features you would really use.
I disagree, you can do a lot more with a Jailbroken iPhone, you can pretty much do everything android can do, but not all features are worth doing and are battery intensive.
Also it makes your iphone buggy as shit, consistently hanging and restarting into safe mode (depending on the mods you have installed).
Not trolling, based on personal experience of using the latest build of Auxo, beautiful piece of design, functions like a chocolate teapot.
It use to make your iPhone buggy as shit, but I think the 4S handled the extra load quite well and it mostly worked fine, Auxo is quite new and will improve.
Not that Android is bug free? My N4 rebooted itself yesterday when I was just editing photos!?
Not sure about that, running a 4s now, with the jailbreak alllll updated and it’s crashing around 6-7 times a day. Without jailbreak……I honestly don’t remember the last time my iphone crashed
Must be certain things you have running in background.
SB Settings and a few widgets in the notification bar is all I need.
6 – 7 times a day!
Same here – I loved the looks of my jailbroken 4S but not the constant restarts, crashes etc. Also I couldn’t figure what was doing it but something was screwing with the camera. I tend to use Camera+ but even reverting to the default App didd’t help. So I reluctantly restored back to vanilla iOS.
IntelliscreenX was a cracking idea as well but I’d sooner have a stable phone.
Not a troll here – as I’ve spent quite a few £££ via the Cydia store but will keep the jailbreaks for my iPad 1st gen.
If Apple would spend less effort repeatedly fighting jailbreakers they might actually get around to developing an OS that makes it uneceasary to jailbreak in the first place…
