Congratulations to the users of the Apple devices who are running their devices on iOS 6.0 or 6.1, can now jailbreak their device using the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 devices to fully unlock their devices from any security locks that Apple had put on them.
Today, just hours ago, a self-motivated team of hackers calling themselves as the Evad3rs Team has released the untethered jailbreak for iOS 6 devices. With the passage of time, the process of jailbreaking has become even more difficult because Apple has now implemented more security measurements to reduce the access to the boot ROM of the device that actually is the basis of all this jailbreaking stuff.
For those that are not familiar with the jailbreaking concept – it is basically a process that unlocks your device for third party application installations that are restricted by Apple, through a source called Cydia. The application ranges from small tweaks and widgets to huge games and applications for free.
According to a recent report by jay Freeman, who is the owner of the Cydia store, has confirmed that over 22.8 million devices are running the Cydia service on them. Although this number is fairly small when compared to the total 500 million iOS users but still it is not negligible. More or less, whenever a new jailbreaks comes on spot, Cydia breaks new record in numbers which clearly shows the increase in number of people relying on the jailbreaking method.
