Bye Bye Jail Breaking

As if we know today, jail breaking or the hacking of an IOS, or an Apple product in basic words has become really popular among many countries. In Thailand especially, in which people are earning money jail breaking phones. Apple had a major update recently, and it was really bad news for people who jail break their phone, it's the iOS 6.1.3, which this update will be able to "put an end" to evasi0n (Jail Break App). According to this article MuscleNerd (a guy working at Apple), pointed out that Apple created the evad3rs the patch that will throw out almost all of the jail breaking software. This is definitely really bad news for people who jail break their phones, and for people who are planning to buy an Apple product and jail breaking it. Overall, the media says that the evad3rs have many advantages over evasi0n, so it's possible that the jail break won't be able to function anymore. The evad3rs teams consist most of the people who invented the evasi0n which will be really interesting because they might be releasing a patch that will overcome this update. For now just stay still and keep calm, and follow some easy steps, and never update to the new version or else you will be in complete trouble. "How to protect your Jail Break", click on this guide to get help in ensuring the safety of your phone. Apple is really anti, to Jail Break, I think that Apple doing this is like killing themselves because less people will buy Apple products if they did cancel out all of the jail breaks. I think that Apple doing this will decrease their sales, and the market of Android phones will increase their sales.   


Major Concepts
  • Apple released the new iOS 6.1.3 update which will take out the jail break program called evasi0n.
  • This news is really bad for people who had jail break their phone, so the same team that created the evad3rs, is trying to develop the new evasi0n which is a new better patch jail break that will take over the iOS 6.1.3 update, so no worries.
  • There are many ways to protect the jail break you're having now, in which the first main point is the cancel the update and you will be fine, or just click the link at the top.
Potential Strengths/Advantages

I think that this article is really great because the author, wrote this really important news, in a very short form and it allows the readers to know what they're dealing with. The complexity of the article is very low, which means that many people are able to understand it the first time they read it. The author was really good because I think that without him putting in the safety section in preventing many people from losing their memory. The author is really good at passing on this really important message.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

The author had one main advantage in which the names like MuscleNerd, pimskeks, etc. These names are un-trust-able which the author uses to say that these are the people who invented or patch the updates for the iOS 6.1.3. Using these names will make many people think that is he really saying the truth or is he spreading a really big lie, that will affect many people.

Discussion Questions

There is one question I want to ask in which is directly to Mr. Pete. Last weeks article was about the Galaxy S4, after reading out this article I'm not sure if Mr. Pete will buy an Iphone now. Mr. Pete likes to jail break is stuff so if this patch or update goes on forever will Mr. Pete still buy an iPhone or will he change to some other company. I feel that this article is really interesting, and would be a really good debate topic too, and this will catch many people's mind whos going to buy an Apple product.
