If you own the iPhone 5 and you’re running iOS 6.1, you might be pleased to learn that according to a group of jailbreakers called the Evad3rs, they claim to have a jailbreak ready for the iPhone 5 and other iOS 6.1 devices by this Sunday! According to the team’s website, they are currently processing the GUI and if all goes well, this Sunday will be the day that you will be able to achieve an untethered jailbreak on your iPhone 5 and other iOS 6.1 devices. Of course the last time we heard such grandiose claims it was back in December 2012 where it turned out to be somewhat of a troll-ish claim, so we wouldn’t exactly get our hopes up just yet. Then again we guess it’s reasonable to expect that non-Chronic Dev Team jailbreakers are able to achieve jailbreak as well – in any case we will be reserving our judgment until Sunday where hopefully there will be more concrete information (and hopefully a jailbreak) to share with you guys!

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license. 

iPhone 5 The iPhone 5 (read our iPhone 5 review) is a smartphone from Apple. It was launched on Sept 12 2012 and features a 4" display, 4G LTE, a thinner chassis and a faster A6 processor. At the time of its launch, it was obviously the best iPhone yet, but a large number of customers and observers came out very divided about its feature set. The lack of large screen was a main point of friction and many wished that there was a larger iPhone 5. FB Survey: are you impressed by the iPhone 5? Tell the world.
