SleeperX, which is perhaps one of my favorite jailbreak tweaks ever released for alarms on the iPhone, was recently updated to version 2.0.0 with support for rootless jailbreaks on iOS & iPadOS 16 such as Dopamine v2 and palera1n.
While the TrollStore v2 perma-signing utility is compatible with iOS & iPadOS 17.0, there is currently no way for prospective users to install it on this particular firmware as of now.
Just like a lot of other people, I received my Apple Watch Ultra 2 on launch day. I traded in my original Apple Watch Ultra because I wanted the newer model; not that it was a significant upgrade, but I appreciate the newer features such as the Double Tap gesture and the brighter 3,000-nit display.

Much like Zagg, it seems that our friends over at Nomad are also kicking off a special Leap Year Sale that takes 29% off the retail price of certain items.
Zagg, the brand that I often turn to for screen protection and cases for my iPhones and iPads, has debutedwhat they call the Leap Day Sale, which celebrates the 29th day of February that comes only once every four years.
Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) released a newer version of the Dopamine v2 jailbreak early Thursday morning, which officially brings the latest version up to 2.0.9.
Lots of people who hold iPhone jailbreaking near and dear to their hearts remember the sinking feeling they felt when Apple announced that iOS 17 wouldn’t run on the iPhone X and older devices. This decision effectively ended the use of the checkm8 exploit to jailbreak any iPhone firmware newer than iOS 16.
Back in 2020, when the MagSafe charging standard was still quite young and only available on Apple’s latest mobile devices, jailbreak tweak developers were making add-ons for pwned handsets that would enable the MagSafe-specific charging animation on non-MagSafe devices when connecting them to power.
In the wake of a new jailbreak release (yes, we’re talking about that thing called Dopamine v2), many jailbreak tweak developers began updating their tweaks or releasing new builds for the latest versions of pwnable iOS & iPadOS.
If you, like so many other jailbreakers, enjoy the experience of listening to jailbreak makers speak at special events, then you might be interested in knowing that Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) will give a talk at Zer0con 2024.
One of the more common things that we see jailbreakers doing with their iPhones and iPads is modifying the color scheme of their operating system. Previously released jailbreak tweaks like Kaleidoscope by SparkDev and Spectrum by Skittyblock have made this possible, but now, iOS developer rosiepie is releasing a new jailbreak tweak called Flora that has been built for use on modern jailbreaks.
