The Odyssey Team officially launched the brand-new Taurine jailbreak tool for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 this past week following months’ worth of hype and teasers. But like most new software, releases are trailed by subsequent updates to smooth over any rough edges that may have been left over from beta testing.
Such is the case with the novel Taurine jailbreak, which seems to have received its first official update just this afternoon to version 1.0.1.
Following this week's launch of the brand-new Taurine jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3, we have a lot of new jailbreakers joining our ranks. Fortunately for those who may not know where to start with their new jailbreak, this is a great place to start.
This roundup will encompass all the last jailbreak tweak releases and news tidbits from this past week, all in one convenient place — spanning Monday, March 29th to Sunday, April 4th.
The jailbreak community has been on fire lately. Not only have all iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 devices been made pwnable by both the tried and true unc0ver and brand new Taurine jailbreak tools, but the recent release of the kok3shi jailbreak made it possible for users of 64-bit iOS 9.3-9.3.5 devices to pwn their handsets as well.
Now, it seems a little more love is being provided for iOS 10 users as the Athenus Dev Team and w212 have teamed up to release ap0110, an auto-executing semi-untethered jailbreak for 32 and 64-bit iOS 10.x devices.
While some jailbreakers have been fortunate enough to enjoy a pwned handset since iOS & iPadOS 14 first dawned last year thanks to the bootrom exploit-based checkra1n jailbreak tool, others were a bit later to the party since the side-loadable semi-untethered unc0ver and Taurine jailbreak apps only just enabled support for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 on all devices within the past month or two.
Whether you’re entirely new to jailbreaking or you’ve been using a pwned iOS or iPadOS 14 device since the major software update first dropped, you’re probably wondering what tweaks and add-ons you can install to get the most out of your jailbreak experience. Fortunately, we’re here to help you with that.
YouTube’s background media playback is a feature in both the YouTube and YouTube Music apps is typically reserved for Premium users who pay a monthly subscription fee. This same subscription also unlocks other creature comforts including ad-free playback.
Fortunately for jailbreakers, background playback and an ad-free listening experience don’t necessarily require an active subscription, as jailbreak tweaks made specifically for the YouTube and YouTube Music apps can lift the frustrating subscription requirement.
Apple released iOS & iPadOS 14.4.2 last Friday alongside iOS 12.5.2 for older devices that don’t support iOS & iPadOS 14 in an effort to remedy a WebKit-based security vulnerability that the company had knowledge of being actively exploited in the wild to maliciously impact its user base.
Given the amount of time that has passed since the release of those updates, we’re unsurprised to learn that Apple has officially stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 14.4.1 this evening. It’s a move on the company’s part that bars the majority end users from voluntarily downgrading their handset’s firmware to the previous version.
Rotation Lock is a useful feature that I use on my iPhone almost every single day. People use Rotation Lock for a bevy of different reasons, but many would coin video consumption to be a valid use since it can prevent the display from rotating to an uncomfortable orientation in those niche moments like laying in your bed.
Currently, the fastest and most convenient way to toggle Rotation Lock is via the dedicated Control Center toggle, but launching Control Center can interrupt your video playback. With that in mind, wouldn’t it have made perfect sense if Apple had simply integrated a Rotation Lock button into the video player interface to begin with?
Apple has been around for a long time. 45 years as of today, in fact! Over that time, the company has made a wide range of products, some of which have forced entire industries to evolve. But, for Tim Cook, this anniversary is a means to rededicate the team at Apple to a more important role.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Taurine jailbreak is now officially available for all iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.8.1 devices.
iPhone and iPad owners in Russia are now being greeted with a list of government-approved when setting up their device, as evidenced by screenshots and reports shared on social media.
Although the unc0ver jailbreak by Pwn20wnd was the first to implement support for iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3, those who’ve been patiently holding out for CoolStar’s iOS & iPadOS 14-based jailbreak instead are going to be in for a treat.
Steering away from the initial plan to launch an SSH-only iOS & iPadOS 14 jailbreak first before launching a full-fledged iOS & iPadOS 14 jailbreak afterward, CoolStar has instead decided to focus all efforts on the full-fledged option — the fruits of which are now available to the general public.
Aside from the just-discontinued Cortana for iPhone, you can now put Twitter-owned Periscope on your list of popular services that completely shut down on April 1, 2021.
