Editor's Desk: iOS 13.5 arrives, and so does the unc0ver jailbreak with support for all devices

This was an especially bad week for Apple — the new iOS 13.5 update dropped and already jailbreakers have the ability to liberate the latest software on Apple’s newest handsets. It’s been also discovered that not only has iOS 14 leaked out from Apple’s supply chain, but has been distributed and sold on social media as well. So much about doubling-down on secrecy!
