In April, there were conflicting reports concerning whether the upcoming iOS 17 software update would drop support for the aging iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus or not. Following the WWDC 2023 keynote, Apple confirmed the company’s decision to ditch those devices in a press release.
If you’ve been paying any attention to the Apple rumor mill lately, then you’ve likely heard how iOS & iPadOS 17 could ditch support for the iPhone X, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 8, and some older iPads. Another rumor alleged the exact opposite the very next day, which makes for some remarkable contradiction in “insider” knowledge.
The palera1n team made a major announcement on Twitter Sunday afternoon regarding the checkm8 bootrom exploit-based palera1n jailbreak tool for A9-A11 chip-equipped devices running iOS 15.x-16.3.
Just yesterday, iDB showed you palera1n, a checkm8 bootrom exploit-based ‘developer only’ jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.7 with tweak injection on select devices running iOS 15.0-15.3.1. Today, the incorporated support for tweak injection has been expanded to more devices.
It was only yesterday that we reported on a public announcement from Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar about current progress on the upcoming rootless iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1 jailbreak tool, and as you may recall, the team was getting a little hung up on A11 chip-equipped devices.
Just a couple of days ago, we told you all about a then upcoming jailbreak tweak dubbed Checkl0ck by iOS developer FoxfortMobile intended to enable biometric authentication on A11 chip-equipped handsets that had been jailbroken with checkra1n.
The iPhone X is a powerful new beast. Whether you are still debating on whether to get the new phone, or if you just want to know what makes this device stand out, I've taken a look at the 25 best features of the iPhone X.
When Apple informed GPU component supplier Imagination Technology back in April that they would no longer be requiring their services, their shares dropped by nearly 50% by the following day. It has been a bit of a bitter separation, with Imagination saying that Apple would be unable to create their own GPU without violating their patents.
Many people are still waiting for the premium iPhone X to hit the market in November. But in the meantime, iPhone 8 shoppers have started to receive their brand spanking new phones.
There’s undoubtedly a lot of hype for Apple's new iPhone X, but if you’re looking to save some money and get the iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus instead, then you’re probably interested in how it compares to the previous generation model and whether it's worth the upgrade.
While they look similar at first glance, some distinguishing features set the two models apart. In this piece, we’ll dispel some confusion by going over some of the most significant changes between the previous-generation iPhone 7/7 Plus and the new iPhone 8/8 Plus.
Included in the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is Apple's powerful new processor, the A11 Bionic. Apple says it is the smartest, and most powerful processor ever in a smartphone.
The next iPhone is going to pack in unprecedented compute power thanks to an Apple-designed A11 chip that has six independently addressable CPU cores that can all run at once, according to code strings in a leaked iOS 11 Gold Master build.
