The elite team of hackers known as "evad3rs" could already have "all the pieces" required to put together an iOS 7 jailbreak, according to team member @planetbeing. The news comes less than one month after the group, which also counts @pod2g and @MuscleNerd among its members, started investigating iOS 7 for potential jailbreak exploits.
Hacker @planetbeing's Twitter update doesn't give much away, but it nevertheless sounds extremely promising. It reads:
We're still working hard on the jailbreak. May have all the pieces at this point (but not certain yet). — planetbeing (@planetbeing) October 2, 2013Of course, no word regarding compatibility has been confirmed by the group. Given that Apple's iPhone 5s ships with a new 64-bit Apple A7 processor, it could be that the first release of an iOS 7 jailbreak doesn't support the seventh-generation handset. Here's hoping this isn't the case, however. We'll keep you updated with further information as we receive it.
