Apple Releases iOS 6.1.3 With Passcode Bug Fix and Japanese Maps Enhancements, Kills Evasi0n Jailbreak

Hmmm lose 49 additional features for 2 "Features" I couldn't care less about considering I'm not located in Japan and I don't have a passcode on my devices?
Pass
The evad3rs should hold off on burning another exploit before iOS 7 too in my opinion, even if you missed the window of opportunity I guarantee jailbreakable replacement Bar devices will be around and sitting in the drawers for a while, even if they aren't on 6.1.2 it'll be some version of iOS that's jailbreakable more than likely..
They should instead figure out a re-restore method and bring out the big show when more devices and a more substantial OS version is released.
4.3.4 and 4.3.5 weren't relevant after 4.3.3 jailbreakme and especially with limera1n re-restore ability.
And iOS 5 was good to go since 5.1.1 was never trumped with another iOS 5 incremental updated and rocky racoon exploit never patched until iOS 6.
Clearly, they do care about jailbreak a bit more this go round even though it's helped their "surprising sales spike" in February.

I shouldn't assume, but Pulp Fiction is an awesome movie and I'm surprised everyone doesn't know that is Jackson. Hilarious scene at that.
I just want my @$!# bluetooth to work in my car again!
Oh, and I'd love for Location Services to not ALWAYS be activated when I wake my phone up. There's no reason for it to be on all the time, particularly when I don't have anything running in the background.

I was being sarcastic.
But seriously, I can understand not getting the latest updates if you have a jailbroken phone.
Strange that no one wrote that it got better battery life
Because the probability is slim to none.
The worst part? They are doing it alphabetically! They won't get to the U.S. for a long, long time!!!
I'm sure this was not directed at just me. However, since it is next to my post I feel a need to respond to explain my decision.
First, I do not live in or travel to Japan so the maps update is not helpful. Second, my iPhone rarely leaves my side so I am not worried about someone trying to circumvent the passcode. I do not have much in the way of personal information stored here and I would gladly wipe my iPhone should I lose it.
Which one is this? The one where iOS turns off WiFi unless plugged in? The very thing it has been designed to do?
Even if you don't care about JB but you're an upgrader or a reseller, being on a patched version of iOS will definitely impact value and at the very least, desirability.
Something else to consider for stock advocates
It's dissapointing that JB encourages hardware sales, but once Apple has made the numbers, they don't mind reversing the original reason you bought the devices to begin with, even though it "voids the warranty" and isn't supported by them. This has how it's always been, but if I was Mr. Cook, and knew people were gonna jailbreak regardless of how much the company discourages it (with a snooty KB article and Genius Bar unlock placards back in the day), I'd offer a dev friendly IPSW where you have root access cooked in. With a dev account, you have more flexibility anyways. Might as well go the full mile. It only encourages innovation since they "borrow" from JB devs with every iOS iteration.

Too bad I can't and I won't update!

I'll pass on this update. Pleasecome out with some amazing stuff in iOS 7.
Please spare us all and go get an android phone so we don't have to read negative stuff all the time.
If you think the US is bad then you haven't been anywhere else. It would be an understatement to say Apple Maps is completely useless in Thailand. Just as an example.
