If you’ve been following along with us as we report on the journey to an iOS & iPadOS 15 jailbreak, then you’ve likely caught wind about Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar explaining how it will be easier to jailbreak A9-A11-equipped handsets than it will be to do the same with A12 and newer-equipped handsets.
Nearing around two weeks after security researcher @b1n4r1b01 published a working kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1 based on Brightiup’s CVE-2021-30955 kernel bug, another respected hacker now appears to be surfacing with an exploit release.
Jailbreakers who want to customize various parameters of their handset’s SpringBoard user interface and behavior can and should check out a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Springlicious by iOS developer zachary7829.
Earlier today, Apple released updates for iOS, watchOS, and the company's other platforms. There are some standout features mixed in, including using Face ID while wearing a mask (and unlocking your phone without needing an Apple Watch), the arrival of Universal Control, and much more. And there's even a nice little bonus, too.
Apple has released iOS 15.4 for the iPhone and iPod touch, as well as iPadOS 15.4 for iPads, bringing new features such as unlocking your iPhone with a mask on.
Safari is the web browser of choice for iPhone and iPad users alike. While it gets the job done in its most basic form, jailbreakers can harness the power of Safari-oriented jailbreak tweaks to unlock power features that ordinary users will drool over.
I thoroughly enjoy being able to set an alarm from the convenience of my iPhone’s Clock app. Whether it’s for waking up on time for the daily grind or trying to ensure you don’t forget about an important upcoming event in your day, there’s no disputing its usefulness.
Ever since a kernel-level exploit for iPhones and iPads running iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1 officially dropped, major players of the jailbreak community have been looking into the feasibility of incorporating it into a public jailbreak. Odyssey Team lead developer CoolStar was among one of the first to publicly acknowledge this, however they also warned about how changes made under the hood would make jailbreaking later firmware on A12 and newer devices more of a challenge.
It’s an exciting time to be a part of the jailbreak community, especially now that we have a potentially viable kernel exploit that could lead to the development of an iOS & iPadOS 15-compatible jailbreak tool.
Prospective jailbreakers, in an attempt to motivate jailbreak developers to create and release an iOS & iPadOS 15-compatible jailbreak tool, are now banding together to organize a bounty that will award the payout to anyone who releases such a jailbreak first.
An important courtesy reminder for the jailbreak community: Sunday, March 13th at 00:00 P.M. UTC (7:00 P.M. EST) is the hard deadline for using the DelayOTA method to upgrade to the unsigned iOS or iPadOS 15.1 or 15.1.1 firmware.
The iPhone and iPad each come standard with native screen recording capabilities, which is essentially a means of capturing activity on your display for someone else to see on their own device as a video file.
