A few weeks ago I told you that evasi0n was used by 14 million iDevices that have installed iOS 6 and they accessed Cydia after they jailbroken with the help of this software. iOS 6.1.3 it was launched yesterday and it blocks the possibility of doing it again jailbreak with the help evasi0n, but even so, 18 million iDevices they used evasi0n and they accessed Cydia after jailbreak, but their number is going to decrease in the near future.
In the six weeks since evasi0n was released, however, close to 18 million devices have already been jailbroken, according to data from Jay Freeman, the administrator of the Cydia app store for jailbroken devices. He says he's counted 18.2 million unique devices running iOS 6 visiting Cydia, including 13.8 million iPhones, 3.4 million iPads, and 1.1 million iPod Touches. Those numbers vastly exceed previous jailbreaks such as Jailbreakme 3, a popular hacking tool for iOS released in the summer of 2011 that was used on around 2 million devices, according to a count at the time by creator Nicholas Allegra.
Making a comparison with jailbreakme.com 3.0, the most popular solution of jailbreak until evasi0n, then comex managed to convince 2 million iDevice owners to jailbreak, the figure now being 9 times higher. In the end, I will tell you that 13.8 million iPhones, 3.4 million iPad tablets and 1.1 million iPod Touches used evasi0n to jailbreak, the next jailbreak solution being able to exceed these numbers.
