How to Jailbreak Your iPhone or iPad on iOS 7 / 7.0.4

It’s finally here. Thanks to the evasi0n team, the iOS 7 jailbreak is here (and just in time for Christmas). As with most of their jailbreaks, you simply need to plug in and run their super simple program to jailbreak the iPhone, iPad, or iPod. With that in mind though, there are a few things you should definitely know/do before you click that big blue jailbreak button (backing up being a biggie). Here’s our how to to make this as smooth as possible.

Worried about this? Here’s our how to unjailbreak your iPhone video to see how easy that is.

Note: Cydia and the apps inside are still not updated for iOs 7 so most of them don’t work yet. Now that the jailbreak is released, those developers will slowly start to update their apps to work with iOs7.
