At the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C press event, Apple announced that both the new smartphones will be pre-loaded with the latest iOS 7. The company also confirmed that the new OS will be released to other iDevices starting on Sept. 18.
Apple launched iOS 6 along with the iPhone 5 in Sept. 2012 and soon after, the over-the-air (OTA) update rolled out to other iOS devices. The iOS 6 was supposed to be one of the most difficult operating system to break into. However, in early February this year, a team of hackers called Evad3rs successfully released a jailbreak for the operating system.

Millions of iOS users downloaded the jailbreak on their devices and the build apparently reached over seven million devices within just four days of release.
Now with the launch of the iOS 7, hackers seems to have started working on a jailbreak already. Pod2g, who was a part of Evad3rs, has recently tweeted details regarding the latest iOS 7 jailbreak.
"@pimskeks being more and more confident about an iOS 7 public jailbreak ;-) [ that does not mean soon ]" tweeted pod2g.
News of an impending iOS 7 jailbreak started to emerge a while ago, when the operating system was still in testing. The jailbreak community is trying to bring something bigger than just an iOS jailbreak.
"I got a lot of amazing things coming to you all soon. think bigger than jailbreak ;)," tweeted Joshua Hill (@p0sixninja) in June this year.
Apple usually has stringent security in place so that hackers do not find it easy to crack into its latest operating system.
Jailbreaking iDevices and iOS has always proved challenging in the past. It will be interesting to see how swiftly the jailbreak community finds a way to crack the security system deployed by Apple in its latest iOS 7.
If you are an iDevice owner do you want to jailbreak the upcoming iOS 7?
