Nugget Mobile, a mobile on-device iPhone customization platform that utilizes the SparseRestore exploit to allow for jailbreak tweak-like hacks without any jailbreak required, received an update on Thursday to version 2.0.
Being the big fans of the Nintendo Switch that we are, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that we spend a lot of our time searching for the best deals to help make the platform more approachable for those on budgets. That’s why you’re seeing this post.
Our friends over at Nomad are celebrating a successful iPhone 16 lineup case launch by giving back to its customers with a unique promo.
One thing we’re seeing a lot of lately is artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we communicate with others. It used to be that you would visit a website and enter some information to get some output from the AI service, but increasingly those AI services are getting integrated into our devices’ operating systems through software and APIs.
We’ve talked a lot about drone usage and ownership here at iDB, including learning everything you need to know about legally flying under Section 44809 recreational rules in the United States per the federal regulations that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) enforces and expects you to follow.
Security researcher and iOS developer @alfiecg_dev, perhaps best known for being a co-developer of the TrollStore perma-signing utility for iPhones and iPads, as well as the TrollInstallerX TrollStore installation method, surprised all of us on Monday when they took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a teaser regarding a 0-day PAC bypass on an iPad Air (3rd generation) running iPadOS 15.5.
The iDownloadBlog team brings you news and updates in the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities all week, every week. But the changing of version numbers, the different jailbreak tweak releases, and the changing of the seasons can make it challenging to keep track.
While the iPhone already has a Dark Mode-compatible keyboard built in from the factory, the problem on newer devices is that the keyboard isn’t dark enough to truly take advantage of the iPhone’s OLED display.
It was only yesterday that we shared how iOS developer Duy Tran (@TranKha50277352) used the SparseRestore exploit to bypass the three-app limitation in the SideStore sideloading application for iPhones and iPads, but more recently, it seems the developer has managed something perhaps even more interesting.
iOS developer 82flex has discovered a relatively ingenious way to make you aware of when you’re connected to a VPN without cluttering your Status Bar with additional icons, and they’re released their idea in the form of a new jailbreak tweak called Single VPN.
One of the unique features about the iPhone 15 series and later is that they remove the single-function ringer/silent switch in favor of the newer Action Button, which users can re-assign to different functions that are completely separate of ringer/silent controls.
SparseRestore is the exploit everybody is talking about right now. It’s what made installing TrollStore on iOS 17.0 possible for the general public for the first time since the firmware stopped being signed, and it was also used in various hacks such as MisakaX and Nugget, just to name a few.
