Customize AirPods Pro behavior with the new Siliqua Pro jailbreak tweak
It can be seldom that jailbreak-oriented software supports any of Apple’s latest hardware, but perhaps one of the most renowned exceptions to this rule of thumb lies with that of first-party accessories, much like Apple’s AirPods. One great example of this was a previous jailbreak tweak release called Siliqua by iOS developer LaughingQuoll, which offered deeper gesture customization for AirPods users in possession of a pwned device.
Siliqua has since seen its second iteration, but now that Apple launched an entirely new product called the AirPods Pro, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone that LaughingQuoll released a new tweak to go along with it. Enter Siliqua Pro, an add-on just like Siliqua, but designed especially for Apple’s latest and greatest first-party wireless earbuds.
Checkra1n public beta receives first update to v0.9.1 with bug fixes
Not even 24 hours after the initial public beta release of the checkm8 exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak tool, the checkra1n team has already launched its first bug fix update dubbed v0.9.1.
The newest version of checkra1n was announced only minutes ago via the checkra1n team’s official Twitter account:
How to jailbreak with checkra1n
The checkra1n team officially released the checkm8 bootrom exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak tool this weekend as a public beta to the masses, and while we’d seriously recommend holding off until the tool comes out of beta, we’d totally understand if you’re a bit antsy to go hands-on with things right now.
In this tutorial, we’ll be showing you how to use the checkra1n jailbreak tool to liberate a supported iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Editor’s Desk: Apple update death march, Adobe expectations, Apple Health and EHR
This week saw yet another point update from Apple to fix a problem, this time for an issue first introduced in late October. We also saw the release of an app we've been waiting for from Adobe for a year - one that's underwhelming many of us, it turns out. Apple surprised us with some welcome electronic health record integration; now if only the rest of the health care industry would catch up. Thoughts on all this stuff in this week's editor's desk roundup.
Checkra1n v0.9 beta now available for public testing
Following several weeks’ worth of electrifying teasers, hacker Luca Todesco officially unveiled checkra1n, a brand-new jailbreak utility based on @axi0mX’s new checkm8 bootrom exploit for A5-A11 devices. Todesco presented the new jailbreak after taking the stage at POC2019 in Seoul, South Korea on Friday, just as he said he would, but subtle issues delayed the original launch expectation by a few days.
Checkra1n is a precedent-setting jailbreak the likes of which we have not seen since limera1n on the A4-equipped iPhone 4. Checkra1n isn’t untethered like limera1n was, but it utilizes an exploit that can’t be patched by Apple with any traditional software update, which commendably means that impacted handsets can be jailbroken for life regardless of software version.
Jailbreak tweaks of the week: BadgeMe, Haptigram, ScreenSafe, and more
There’s been so much excitement in the last couple of weeks with regard to the checkm8 bootrom exploit that we can’t wait to see what becomes of it. On the other hand, those already jailbroken with Chimera or unc0ver will be happy to know that we continuously report on the best of the newest jailbreak tweak releases each day.
In this roundup, we’ll talk about all the jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, November 4th to Sunday, November 10th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorites and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.

Disk Drill Pro can bring your Mac’s lost files back from the brink
When a file is deleted, is it really gone forever? Fortunately in the case of accidental deletions, the answer is often "No". There are a number of ways to recover important files that have been mistakenly sent to the trash, but these methods are complex and time-consuming. Many times, getting back a deleted file involves an expensive trip to a data retrieval expert.
Last-minute issues delaying checkra1n launch, but release still imminent
Hacker and checkra1n team member Luca Todesco took the stage at POC2019 in Seoul, South Korea early Friday morning to talk about checkra1n, an upcoming checkm8 exploit-based jailbreak tool that would work with A5-A11 devices. But perhaps more intriguingly, sporadic teasers indicated that the tool would be released sometime after his presentation there.
The last official update we have from Todesco himself is that the checkra1n release was delayed longer than expected following the presentation, but it was still supposed to launch sometime today. With the day now over and still no official checkra1n jailbreak launch at the time of this writing, you wouldn’t be alone if you were twiddling your thumbs and wondering what was happening.
