I never thought that the jailbreak community was dying, but it's been very quiet over the past few months. Yesterday, the Evad3rs released the untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 6 devices. Evasi0n proved to be one of the most anticipated jailbreak releases to date.
The Evasi0n website had nearly 3 million unique visitors in five days. If that wasn't impressive enough, as of today, the iOS 6 jailbreak tool has been downloaded over 1.7 million times.
Jay Freeman (saurik) recently discussed these amazing download statistics with Forbes:
In its first six hours online, the crack had already been used at least 800,000 times, according to Jay Freeman, administrator of the Cydia appstore for jailbreakers, and he says that’s a conservative estimate–his count was fouled up when the tsunami of traffic knocked his server offline several times over the course of the jailbreak’s first day online. By Tuesday his count was up to 1.7 million.If you think about those statistics, Evasi0n was downloaded about 1,200 times a minute. It looks like there’s no shortage of jailbreak enthusiasts in the world.
