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.
Nature wallpapers for iPhone are among the most downloaded images from our iDB Wallpapers of the Week collection. Our included collection focuses on the world's least explored region, the ocean. Celebrating the always rugged, yet refined, Apple accessory maker Nomad, the nature wallpapers capture both the serenity and power of water. Capable of both calming relaxation and ultimate destruction, the desktop and iPhone wallpaper collection highlights the dichotomy.
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.
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.
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.
In this edition of our Apps of the Week roundup, we take a look at a digital dashboard for your life, a completely rebuilt to-do list manager and an audio curation app for news and entertainment. And as always, we've selected two great new games for you to check out.
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.
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.
The AirPods Pro are Apple's newest version of its truly wireless headphones, but for anyone that may have been hoping they'd be available in a different color other than white, that unfortunately did not turn out to be the case.
While The Morning Show is heralded as the leading program for Apple TV+, and it’s buoyed by strong performances, this is one series that seems too predictable for its own good.
If you've been playing mobile games for a while now, you probably know about Ski Safari. Hands down, one of the best mobile games on the App Store in my opinion. Or at least it was back in 2012 when it first released for the iPhone. This game was praised by its simple gameplay and great graphics and it quickly became the #1 paid app in a lot of countries.
Now it's time to see if this fun little game has survived the test of time. Is it still worth paying the $0.99 for this game? Or are you better off buying its sequel?
Roku is one of the most popular streaming platforms out there, and now controlling what you watch on the streaming device is easier than ever before.
