iOS 7 Jailbreak News, Download & Release Date: Devs Say It's Safe to Update to iOS 7.0.3
After jailbreak developers initially expressed concern about whether the iOS 7.0.3 should be downloaded by people who want to jailbreak their phones in the future, it looks like everyone now has the green light to go forward with the update.
MuscleNerd, the developer who first tweeted yesterday that "Potential iOS7 jailbreakers should stay away from today's 7.0.3 for now," returned to announce that the jailbreak should not be affected by the update.
"7.0.3's lock screen fixes won't impact the JB," he later tweeted.
The jailbreakers have spent a great deal of time working on the next release amid increased pressure as demand for the jailbreak continues to grow. The developers just simply had to go back and look through the new update to make sure nothing would affect the progress that the developers have made in their quest for the next jailbreak. Apple sometimes fixes the jailbreaks unexpectedly when releasing an update.
From what the Evad3rs have been saying, it seems like the group has the jailbreak mostly figured out but they are going the extra mile to make sure it will be smooth once everything is rolled out. They are being careful about a release date so that people are not disappointed if something slips up.
Apple's new iOS 7.0.3 update fixes a number of problems that have plagued the new operating system since its release in September. Complaints of motion sickness from animations when switching apps were addressed this week as well when Apple made an option to adjust the animations. Among other fixes, Apple also addressed a problem with iMessage in which some people noticed their messages were not getting pushed through as a regular text messages when necessary.
