Pwn20wnd says Saurik plans to update Cydia Substrate for A12(X) devices

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated April 26, 2019

Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool supports all versions of iOS from 11.0-12.1.2, and it supports most iOS devices. The lone exception to the latter part of that statement is that A12(X) devices are only partially supported, which means Cydia and Cydia Substrate won’t be installed on those handsets (yet).

Just last week, Pwn20wnd shared what he still needed to complete the full A12(X) support for unc0ver, and while one of those components has since been completed, the community continues to wait for the other.

If you thought Sileo was fast on an iPhone 6s, then watch the latest demo on an iPhone X

Anthony Bouchard ∙ April 11, 2019

Less than 24 hours ago, the Sileo Team teased the blazing speed of its Sileo app, which aims to compete with Cydia as the de facto package manager on handsets pwned by way of Electra. The device used in the recent demo video was an iPhone 6s, but with many jailbreakers waiting to pwn their latest and greatest handsets, did the video do Sileo any justice?

If you were wondering how fast Sileo would be on a more modern handset, then you’re in luck. The Sileo Team has Tweeted yet another demonstration of Sileo’s speed just this evening, this time with the app running on an iPhone X instead of an iPhone 6s.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ April 11, 2019

Pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak tool has enjoyed a monopoly over iOS 12.0-12.1.2 for months, albeit with limited handset support due to the lack of Cydia Substrate support for A12(X) devices. On the other hand, that could all change in the very near future.

The Sileo Team on Thursday Tweeted a teaser of what appears to be the Sileo app running on the upcoming Electra12 jailbreak, citing it to be a speed demonstration of the Cydia alternative for package management on jailbroken handsets.

CallBar by Elias Limneos has long enjoyed being the premier solution to Apple’s horrendous inbound call interface on jailbroken handsets, but a new jailbreak tweak release dubbed Vocito by iOS developer Antique aims to increase the competition in this sector by introducing a minimalist alternative to CallBar.
