Security researcher Ian Beer has become somewhat of a legend in the jailbreak community recently. Albeit not directly related to the development of recent iOS 11 jailbreak tools like Electra, his mighty iOS exploits helped make them possible.
Despite all the contributions Beer has made thus far, he doesn’t appear to be slowing down one bit. Beer announced Wednesday morning via Twitter that he’d be releasing some new iOS 11.4.1-centric exploits.
Apple just released iOS 12 on Monday, so it shouldn’t come off as much of a surprise that there isn’t a public jailbreak solution available for it at this time.
But that hasn’t stopped Cydia creator Jay Freeman (Saurik) from releasing an update for the Cydia Impactor side-loading tool with official iOS 12 support. As of this writing, the latest version of the utility is 0.9.46.
Apple released iOS 12 to the public Monday afternoon, and not even one full day after release, security firms have begun teasing untethered jailbreaks on the new mobile firmware.
The latest proof-of-concept video comes by way of Ali Security. Shown below, it demonstrates the process of the firm’s in-house jailbreak tool:
Macs come with a Guest Mode right from the factory, but the iPhone and iPad do not. This becomes an issue when you’re asked to share your device with friends and family, as it puts your own privacy at risk.
But all these concerns stop a new jailbreak tweak called LendMyPhone by iOS developer Luke Muris, which brings a well-planned Guest Mode to jailbroken handsets.
Dark Mode-based jailbreak tweaks have become severely cliché in the modern jailbreak community, but a pair of new tweaks dubbed Deluminator by iOS developer FoxfortMobile and Nebula by iOS developers Squ1dd13 and Muirey03 finally offer something unique in the Dark Mode space.
While the majority available Dark Mode-based jailbreak tweaks concentrate on transforming the aesthetic of app user interfaces, Deluminator and Nebula instead focus on the web pages you load in your iPhone or iPad’s mobile web browser.
Having the power to modify your iOS 11 device outside of Apple’s parameters is the primary reason to use the Electra jailbreak. For those that are already using it, finding exciting add-ons to install can be challenging.
In this roundup, we’ll help you discover new jailbreak tweaks and add-ons for your handset by consolidating all the previous week’s releases into one post. This roundup will encompass all the jailbreak tweaks released in Cydia from September 10th to September 16th.
Upon refreshing your Cydia sources this week, you should take note of a new free jailbreak tweak called NavAway by iOS developer Wh0ba.
Just as the tweak’s name suggests, NavAway makes your iPhone’s navigation bar magically disappear as you scroll down in specific scrollable applications. When you begin scrolling back up in the app, NavAway intelligently reveals the navigation bar again for your convenience.
At the September 12th special event, Apple unveiled three new iPhones and a snazzy redesigned Apple Watch called the Series 4. Not only does it have a refreshed look and feel, but it comes with a slew of new features and works with all the old Apple Watch wrist straps you might have laying around.
In this piece, we’ll outline the Apple Watch Series 4 tech specs for your viewing pleasure:
If you’re rocking a semi-untethered jailbreak like Electra, then you’re likely familiar with the inconvenience of re-running the tool over a wired connection with your computer every time you reboot your device.
You can control the majority of your handset reboots by merely keeping it running at all times, but the one instance where you can’t is when your handset runs out of battery power. Fortunately, a new jailbreak tweak dubbed SafeShutdown by iOS developer Kurrt aims to make this a less painful experience.
Alongside Apple’s flagship iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max handsets, Apple also unveiled a budget handset known as the iPhone Xr at the company’s September 12th event.
In this piece, we’ll outline the under-the-hood specifications that come standard on the budget-friendly iPhone Xr:
Apple unveiled two flagship handsets at the September 12th event, subtly named the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max, with the former being a 5.8-inch model just like the previous-generation iPhone X and the latter being a 6.5-inch model for those who prefer larger displays.
In this piece, we’ll outline the under-the-hood specs that come standard on the iPhone Xs and the iPhone Xs Max models:
As if Apple’s iPhone X didn’t already provide amazing all-day battery life, Apple shattered these capabilities with its newly-announced handsets: the iPhone Xs and iPhone Xs Max.
Citing Apple’s own Phil Schiller, the iPhone Xs offers a 30-minute battery life bump over the previous-generation iPhone X. The gains are impressive considering the handset’s augmented hardware and powerful capabilities.
