iPhone 5 users have been waiting a long, long time for a jailbreak. Sure, the current versions of iOS have been opened, but unlucky kids with A6 chips and the fancy new Apple devices they come in have been out of luck. But no longer! Probably.
With today’s release of iOS 6.1, jailbreak release rumors have been swirling, and it looks like we can expect to see a 6.1 jailbreak that works for one and all this Sunday. MuscleNerd, a mouth-piece for the Evad3rs jailbreak team has been talking up a storm on Twitter, dropping details on the upcoming untethered jailbreak and its release date.

I feel bad for those following fake @evad3rs_jb and liking fake FB https://t.co/b3mo5CBr . They're gonna miss the excitement this week.

@unicornhacker yes, every other 6.1 device variation will be supported. All TWENTY-TWO of them (omg!). Plus atv2 if it's out in time.

So there you have it folks. No matter your device (except the Apple TV 3), you should be getting a special Superbowl Sunday gift: a working untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak. That’s a game where everyone wins.
