No Evasi0n iOS 7 Jailbreak? Keep iOS 6.1.2 if Sticking with Evad3rs (Plus: Imagine Cydia on New OS)
How will Cydia look in iOS 7?
Will there be no evasi0n iOS 7 jailbreak if the evad3rs are not too pleased with the new Apple OS? Tech experts and developers have been testing iOS 7 ahead of its rollout to Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. But this early, at least two out of four evad3rs have given the new OS a thumbs-down. Evasi0n jailbreakers might want to hold on to iOS 6.1.2 for now. Meanwhile, a graphic artist shares with Cydia users an iOS 7-inspired design.
Under close scrutiny, the iOS 7 disappoints evad3r @pod2g. He says there's no real innovation going on in the OS. It seems the new environment was designed for kids, he notes. Evad3r @pimskeks echoes generally the same sentiments, saying Apple has got a lot of work to do. But neither one of them has spoken about an iOS 7 jailbreak. At least not yet. However, @pod2g has recently talked about an Android switch on Twitter. Some Apple iDevice users were naturally alarmed.
He may have tweeted in the heat of frustration, so to speak. "After a few days of iOS 7 beta 1 testing, I must admit that I am about to switch to an Android device," tweets @pod2g. A few days earlier, however, he tweeted, "Lots of cool features in iOS 7. The gap between 6 and 7 is huge comparing to 5 and 6. Can't wait to test. Exciting." Asked about the perspective shift, the developer said, "(The Apple marketing people) are good at convincing people their software is 'amazing."
"Worst case would be to stay on iOS 6," evad3r @pimskeks tweets, hinting a big snub on the iOS 7. Earlier, however, the group decided to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3, saying they will concentrate their efforts on the next major upgrade. It remains to be seen whether the rest of the evad3rs will release an iOS 7 jailbreak when the new OS is rolled out later in the year.
