iOS 7.0.5 released, jailbreakers stay clear for now

    Apple released an update on 1/29/14 for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. Jailbroken users are urged to stay away from the update as it may patch Evasi0n. Popular iPhone hacker MuscleNerd has urged users to want to keep their jailbreak to stay away from the update and "Just say no!"


    Some people on the jailbreak subreddit say that 7.0.5 is still able to be Jailbroken through Evasi0n but until someone officially says it's not patched it's best to stay away from the update. 

    The update included a fix to correct network provisioning in China for some iPhone 5s and 5c models sold in China. While the update says only China 7.0.5 can be downloaded globally. 


    iPhone hacker I0n1c confirmed that 7.0.5 is not pached but Evasi0n would need to update their binary to accept it. This is unlikely to happen considering 7.0.5 is not a significant update. Unfortunately iOS 7.1 is patched but hopefully Evasi0n has a few tricks up their sleeve.
