With the availability of untethered Cydia package for the 3GS/A4 devices running iOS 6.1.3/6.1.5, the untethered jailbreak for A5+ devices on iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 is not far.

iH8sn0w recently confirmed the release of untethered jailbreak for the iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G on iOS 6.1.3 and iOS 6.1.4. Along with this, the hacker has confirmed that now the team is working on A5+ jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4, which is expected by the Christmas day.

"Our next priority is getting an A5+ jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 out. As I stated on Twitter, we expect it should be out by Christmas day. So if you don't feel like upgrading to iOS 7 and prefer 6.1.3/6.1.4, sit tight for a bit," says iH8sn0w.

The untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3/6.1.5 follows the surprising release of evasi0n7, an untethered jailbreak for all iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and iPad mini devices by the evad3rs team. This jailbreak is available for both Mac and Windows.

Prior to this, iH8sn0w and winocm have posted a video on Twitter showing an untethered jailbreak on an iPod touch 5G (n78ap) running iOS 6.1.3. This does not reveal much, but hints that an untethered jailbreak for A5+ devices on iOS 6.1.x is on the way.

The video explains Cydia running on iPod touch 5G and how to use jailbreak tweak SBSetting to change the brightness and Prompt, an SSH client to connect as root. The video shows the jailbroken iPod touch also restarts, suggesting the jailbreak is untethered. Besides, iH8sn0w has confirmed that the untethered jailbreak works on all A5+ devices running iOS 6.1.3, iOS 6.1.4 and iOS 6.1.5 except Apple TV3.
