After a crazy week for Apple that saw the official release of the iPhone 13 & iPhone 13 Pro lineup in addition to the official release of iOS & iPadOS 15, we’re excited to reflect on the fact that there are still tons of jailbreakers out there despite being on older handsets with older versions of iOS & iPadOS.
It was only about a week after Apple released iOS & iPadOS 14.8 with patches for the zero-click exploits that were actively weaponized in the wild and by the Pegasus spyware that iOS developer Mario Cheung released a jailbreak tweak called FORCEDEXIT to address the issue on pwned handsets running affected firmware versions.
Today, Cheung seems to be at it again with a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed EntitlementFix, which allegedly fixes three additional 0-day exploits known to impact jailbreakable versions of Apple’s mobile operating systems.
If you ever find yourself in the type of pinch that necessitates instantaneous note-taking, then we think you’ll be pleased to learn about the likes of a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Notey by iOS developer Spartacusdev.
Depending on how much time you spend typing away on your jailbroken iPhone, be it small text messages throughout the day or major word documents once in a while, you just might find solace in add-ons that make typing and text editing less cumbersome.
The Chimera jailbreak tool for iOS 12 devices received a rare update late Thursday night to version 1.6.4.
Apple’s new iOS 15 mobile operating system makes notification banners smaller and less intrusive to the underlying user interface, but if you’re jailbroken on iOS 14 or below, then you aren’t enjoying the same luxury without a jailbreak tweak of some kind.
Apple didn’t introduce always-on display (AOD) functionality with its iPhone 13 lineup this year as many had expected them to do. Fortunately, one advantage to jailbreaking these days is that you can enjoy an always-on display experience on your current iPhone without waiting for Apple to get their bleep together.
In fact, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed AlwaysOnMusic by iOS developer Jez takes a new and rather exciting approach to always-on display functionality for anyone who enjoys using their iPhone for music consumption.
With iOS and iPadOS 15 now available to the general public, an assortment of questions and even rumors have started to circulate about jailbreaking.
Last week, Apple released iOS & iPadOS 14.8 to the general public with important security patches for a zero-click exploit that could have resulted in arbitrary code execution.
Amid all the recent excitement surrounding jailbreak untether hype and the confirmation that one would be officially released on October 21st, there’s certainly a lot to look forward to. But for right now, it’s business as usual for jailbreak groups like the Odyssey Team.
Jailbreaking has a bad rap for reducing battery life, but it doesn’t have to. A well-tuned jailbroken device should last just as long as a non-jailbroken device, and the community harbors a plethora of different tools for supercharging battery monitoring and performance on pwned handsets.
If you’ve had your eyes glued to jailbreak community developments amid all the talk of untethers recently, then you’re not alone, and we’re especially excited to share that you’re in for some good news.
