iPhone new iPhone 5s (what are the chances) 7.0.6

[dlmart2]

I have (had) a jailbroken 5s running 7.0.6. It was damaged and I need to purchase a new phone. What are the chances it will come with 7.0.6 loaded instead of 7.1? Im depressed about losing my jailbreak more than my phone.

No one knows. It's like playing a lottery...

if you are buying a new one outright, buy a 64gb or 32gb model if you can afford it. also if you are on sprint, it is wayyyy more likely.

Your chances of getting a 7.0.6 are much much much better than winning the lottery.

Here comes the literal people.

OP, your chances of getting a 7.0.6 is like the raffle. If possible, ask for the oldest one in the stock.

From what people have been posting on this forum (which I know is not necessarily a representative sample), you are more likely to get 7.0.4 than 7.0.6

The real issue, however, is whether you will get 7.0.x that was not updated OTA

I didn't get a 7.0 got stuck with a 7.1. I find this probably the most frustrating part of JBing. Not only do you have to watch what you do with the software but if you need a replacement device you generally get the shaft too. It just sucks.

I recently had to replace a water damaged 5s, the white box replacement I received had 7.0.3 on it.

What do you think about now I have to replace mine because of screen issues

Still hard to say. We just bought an rMini last week that was 7.0.2.

 

[tvotony]

I just don't want to chance it

personally, i would risk it. I'd rather live without jailbreak for a while then live with a hardware problem that could be fixed/replaced for free (assuming you're in the warranty period)
