It was only yesterday that talented hacker and iOS exploit tinkerer Jake James released time_waste, a reworked version of Brandon Azad’s oob_timestamp tfp0 exploit.

According to Tweets shared just this morning by Pwn20wnd, it seems that support for A8X-A11 devices on iOS 13.0-13.3 is very near to becoming a reality:
