Some of the best MacDirtyCow bug-compatible apps for iOS 15.x-16.1.2
The MacDirtyCow bug, also known as CVE-2022-46689, has opened Pandora’s box for Apple on iOS & iPadOS 15.x-16.1.2 because it allows people to make system customizations on their non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads that they technically shouldn’t be allowed to make.

Legacy 3rd, 4th, and 5th generation iPod Nanos now have a bootrom exploit called wInd3x
Hardware-based bootrom exploits like limera1n and checkm8 can't be patched by Apple via software updates and are infrequent occurrences that we’d consider ourselves lucky to witness once every several years.

Some of the best TrollStore-compatible apps for iOS 14.0-15.4.1
TrollStore is one of the best ways to install powerful apps on your iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 betas). Not only that, but those apps will also remain permanently signed because of the CoreTrust bug that it exploits, so you won’t have to re-sign those apps like you would after using something like AltStore or Sideloadly.

Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are the company’s only handsets that natively support the Dynamic Island feature, and while a jailbreak tweak dubbed Dynamic Peninsula could bring a similar experience to notched devices, not everyone currently has access to a jailbreak — especially if they’re using iOS 16.

A bug affecting iOS & iPadOS versions 15.x-16.1.2 and macOS 13.0.1 called CVE-2022-46689, also codenamed MacDirtyCow, has been making headlines recently.
