Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 14, 2018

As we just told you, the evad3rs have released a new jailbreak tool called evasi0n7, and it allows you to easily jailbreak iOS 7. The good news is that the hack works with all flavors of iOS 7, which includes iOS 7.0.1, iOS 7.0.2, iOS 7.0.3, 7.0.4, 7.0.5, and 7.0.6 (iOS 7.1 cannot be jailbroken at this time).

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 14, 2018

In a move that I think caught all of us way off-guard, the evad3rs have just released an untethered jailbreak for iOS 7. The team is calling the hack evasi0n7, and it's compatible with all iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini models running iOS 7.0 through 7.0.4.

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 14, 2018

Hackers winocm and iH8sn0w posted an interesting video last night, demonstrating what appeared to be a working untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1.x. The clip shows a 5th gen iPod touch on iOS 6.1.3 navigating Cydia and running Surenix's popular ayecon theme.

The move puts an end to the radio silence we've been experiencing since early October, when winocm gave a definite ETA for the iOS 6.1.x jailbreak as 'before 2014.' But don't get your hopes up. It still doesn't look like it's going to be released publicly anytime soon...

Nintendo warming up to idea of producing content for mobile devices

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 14, 2018

Industry watchers have been making the case for Nintendo to bring some of its storied games over to mobile for years now. The Wii U isn't selling very well, and many think that focusing on software—particularly for smartphones and tablets—is the answer to its struggles.

And up until now, the company has responded to the idea with a resounding 'no, never going to happen.' But it would seem that the tide has begun to turn. In a recent interview, the Nintendo America President said they're experimenting with smartphone and tablet content...
