If you’ve noticed a shortage ofjailbreak newson iDB lately, that’s simply because there hasn’t been any to give. While theevad3rsare hard at work hacking iOS 7, we’ve heard little about their progress since planetbeing’s ‘all the pieces’ tweet in October.
This changed, though, last week, when reports began surfacing that someone close to the group had stolen ajailbreakfrom them and sold it to a private buyer. But evad3rs memberpod2ghas denied the claim, and says the iOS 7 JB is progressing slowly…
From International Design Times:
“I did contact Evad3rs team member Cyril Cattiaux, aka @Pod2g, to have the report verified. When I told him about the rumor of a stolen jailbreak roaming about social media, @pod2g was quick to laugh and say, “That’s complete bullsh–.”
As to the status of the team’s work, he added, “the jailbreak stuff is moving on, but slowly.” So, basically, no. There has been no jailbreak stolen from the Evad3rs and sold.”
And here’s a recent tweet from pimskeks:

So the good news here is that the evad3rs seem to be fairly confident that they’ll be able to produce a public jailbreak for iOS 7. But the bad news is, there’s still no word on a release. I think that’s the toughest part — not knowing if it’ll be in 6 weeks or 6 months.
Also likely adding to the anticipation is the fact that because iOS 7 was such a major update, we’ve seen a significant drop inmajor tweak releasesin recent months, as developers look to create new stuff and update their previous stuff to support the new firmware.
As usual, we’ll let you know as soon as more information regarding the iOS 7 jailbreak becomes available. Here’s hoping we find something out byJailbreakCon next year, which we’re expecting to take place in the April/May timeframe. Stay tuned.
