It is not true.

Ok. Is it anywhere near close or is that all just rumors? Sorry it's just that I only have a couple weeks left of apple care plus to get a replacement phone and want to make sure it won't be available anytime in the near future.

Not even close
 
There is news...
From ih8sn0w:
'Update #3 (Oct. 5, 2013): In the midst of polishing the 6.1.3/6.1.4 untether. While doing so, I requested people running 6.1.2 jailbroken devices to email me to dump their kernels for reference. In conjunction with that, I also requested people running 6.1.3/6.1.4 to email me as well. However, many seemed to have emailed me expecting to beta test the jailbreak. Not true, this was also for dumping kernels. I'm not sure why many people would want to beta test a jailbreak for an iOS Apple is not actively signing anymore anyways(if something goes, you'd be forced to restore to 7.x). Release is definitely not this weekend, so don't get your hopes up. ETA for it is before 2014. When release is close, we'll tweet it. (Please don't bother tweeting asking for an ETA/progress).'

Cool thanks, you think iOS 7 will have its jailbreak any time soon? I'm kinda starting to like it looking at people's phones
 
both i hate snow (to lazy for numbers) and winocm has confirmed they promise a 6.1.3/4 jailbreak before 2014. also i dont think you realize how important a 6.1.3 jailbreak would be because the ipod touch 4th gen was one of the most popular ipods ever
 
Based on?

Early 2014 is my prediction for IOS 7 jailbreak. Came to conclusion based on this interview with David Wang (@Planetbeing)...

http://www.idesigntimes.com/article...eak-iphone-5-s-4-ipad-planetbeing-evad3rs.htm

An excerpt from the interview...

"We don't have a real proof-of-concept finished. I just believe we have all the individual pieces we need, but they haven't been written/tested. They just mostly exist in our head right now as a plan. It's too early to worry about actual release date issues yet since we have no idea what kind of implementation challenges we might run into that might significantly skew the schedule. I was just saying that I think it should be possible to release a jailbreak eventually at least."

On the plus side, at least it is continually being worked on.

Is this expected within the next month, or is that not realistic

My AppleCare plus is about to run out and I want to swap my phone out for a new one.

I highly doubt there will be a jailbreak for 7.0 within a month
