Apple closed the signing window for two different iOS versions for various handsets Wednesday evening, including 13.1.2 and 13.1.3.
It’s regular practice for Apple to stop signing older versions of iOS after a newer release has been available for some time. Doing so both prevents software downgrades by the jailbreak-savvy and encourages software updates for everyone else to ensure users take advantage of the latest features and security patches.
If you've liked Niles Mitchell's "Will It Work" video series in which he attempts to make his iOS devices work with all sorts of retro computer equipment, like an Iomega Zip drive, you're going to love this one showing connecting a magneto optical disk to his iPhone.
Before the end of October, it was reported that iOS 13.2 --which launched to the public not too long ago-- boasts some pretty "aggressive" RAM management, leaving many users to helplessly watch as their apps and Safari tabs reload constantly.
Screen Time is a way for Apple to try and let iOS users keep tabs on their digital health on a regular basis. And now there's a new tool being baked into the feature.
In late October, Apple released iOS 13.2 and iPadOS 13.2 to the public. Now the company is looking ahead to the mobile operating system's next minor update.
Things have been getting very real in the jailbreak community in the past several weeks. One of the most significant tidbits of news has been the development of the A5-A11-based checkra1n jailbreak by Luca Todesco and others, which rides on the back of a brand-new bootrom exploit from @axi0mX called checkm8. But the captivation isn’t stopping there.
With all the exciting information (and drama) that we’ve seen recently, one might be inclined to say it’s breath of fresh air to see unc0ver jailbreak lead developer Pwn20wnd touting potential work on something new. The hacker took to Twitter Sunday morning to share pertinent information for A12(X) and A13 device users who might be in the market for a jailbreak:
The upcoming checkm8 exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak has been making rounds in headlines over the last couple of weeks, with some of the most exciting news involving tweak injection on iOS 13. But as you might recall, a recent teaser also showed that the checkra1n jailbreak would support several package managers, including Cydia and Zebra.
People were particularly excited to see support for Zebra in addition to the tried and true Cydia package manager, but it begged the question about compatibility with other popular package managers, including Installer and Sileo, just to name a few.
Things are getting particularly interesting in the world of jailbreaking since the official public release of @axi0mX’s checkm8 bootrom exploit for A5-A11 devices. One of the most intriguing work-in-progresses involving checkm8 has been checkra1n, a jailbreak tool spearheaded by renowned hacker Luca Todesco and others.
While we’ve witnessed quite a few teasers involving the checkra1n jailbreak to date, none have been quite as exciting as one shared just this morning. Jailbreak developer Sam Bingner, well-known for his popular TetherMe jailbreak tweak for enabling native Personal Hotspot on jailbroken handsets with or without carrier consent, teased the tweak functioning on iOS 13 by way of checkra1n:
Before the end of October, Apple released yet another update for iOS 13, bringing the version number to 13.2. But it turns out the software may have one big flaw for some users.
Apple yesterday released the iOS 13.2 software update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. With it came a new computational photography feature for the latest iPhone 11 devices, dubbed Deep Fusion, in addition to Announce Messages With Siri that was originally supposed to arrive as part of the initial iOS 13.0 update, plus a whole bunch of other important changes.
Several weeks in, Cody and Sebastien share their favorite tips and features of iOS 13. From obvious ones to more obscure settings, there is something for everyone in here. And not to mention that the two co-hosts are full of jokes today...
What started off as a pretty good morning for Apple has turned into a relatively less-than-great afternoon/evening.
