Pwn20wnd touts progress on PAC-less tweak injection on iOS 13

If you’ve been following the jailbreak community as of late, then you’ve undoubtedly caught wind of Pwn20wnd’s plethora of recent announcements regarding the potential synergy between the unc0ver jailbreak tool and Brandon Azad’s yet-to-be-released tfp0 exploit.

Azad’s exploit was initially revealed to work on the iPhone 11 running iOS 13.3, and according to Pwn20wnd, it should also be viable on A12(X) devices and with all firmware versions between iOS 13.0-13.3. At the same time, Pwn20wnd cited three notable hurdles that would need to be dealt with if tweak injection was to work in the PAC-less implementation on iOS 13 via unc0ver.

Apple was blamed for supposed planned obsolescence of its products before, but nothing like when it was discovered that an iOS software update intentionally slowed down older handset models with worn-out batteries. The technology giant was sued over the practice in multiple courts and now a French consumer fraud group has fined the company 25 million euros, or about $27.5 million, because it had failed to properly inform its customers that iOS software updates might cause their iPhone to run slower than usual.
