It appears that a tfp0 exploit for iOS 12 could be released in the near future, but what does this mean for the potential jailbreakability of Apple’s latest mobile operating system?
KeenLab has teased the first-known jailbreak running on iOS 12.1, and it appears to work with Apple’s new flagship handset: the iPhone XS Max.
Despite mostly glowing reviews of Apple’s new iPad Pro models for 2018, publications who have spend some quality hands-on time with the new tablet caution that it’s not a true PC replacement due to limited iOS software and high price.
Apple’s upcoming iPad Pro tablets for 2018 will use an Apple-designed A12X Bionic chip, which is an enhanced version of the regular A12 Bionic chip in the iPhone XS/XS Max/XR smartphones feature a more powerful GPU for faster graphics.
The new iPhones should be outfitted with four gigabytes of RAM, not three like the current iPhone X and 8 models, and have 40% faster graphics and at least 10% faster CPU.
Commercial production has begun on TSMC’s 7nm chip. This is the same chip likely to be found in Apple’s upcoming A12 processor for the 2018 iPhone models.
And this just in: TSMC announced an expensive new $15.7 billion factory that will start churning out cutting-edge three-nanometer chips by 2020.
The semiconductor foundry has begun expanding its equipment suppliers in a likely effort to secure orders for Apple’s seven-nanometer A12 chips for 2018 iOS devices.
An improved version of TSMC’s seven-nanometer node process technology will be ready for volume production in 2018, said the company’s co-CEO.
Both in-house designed ‘A10’ and ‘A11’ chips for this year’s iPhone 7 and 2017 iPhones/iPads, respectively, are believed to be manufactured solely by Taiwan’s semiconductor foundry TSMC (sorry, Samsung).
According to Nikkei Asian Review, Intel is now perfectly poised to give TSMC a good run for its money in as little as two years because any Apple chips after the A10/A11 should be fabricated by Intel.
The recently signed licensing deal between Intel and UK-based ARM Holdings lets the former fabricate chips for smartphones based on the latter’s CPU technology.
