Pwn20wnd is adding support for PsychoTea’s machswap exploit to unc0ver
PsychoTea’s new machswap kernel exploit for A7-A11 devices running iOS 11.0-12.1.2 has been recognized as a seriously fast and reliable exploit for modern jailbreak tools. In fact, it’s much smoother than some of those that are already being used, such as v3ntex by tihmstar.
A Tweet shared over the weekend by hacker and unc0ver lead developer Pwn20wnd appears to praise the machswap exploit, and furthermore reveals that the hacker is actively implementing it into the unc0ver jailbreak tool:
PsychoTea updates machswap exploit with support for A10-A11 devices
In case you missed it, renowned hacker PsychoTea released a noteworthy kernel exploit called machswap for A7-A9 devices running iOS 11.0-12.1.2 on Friday. But rather than slamming on the brakes at the realization of his new exploit, the hacker instead went for the accelerator pedal; consequently, we now have a new and improved exploit that seems viable for jailbreaking.
In a Tweet shared just this weekend, we learn that the machswap exploit has picked up official support for A10-A11 devices in addition to those A7-A9 devices that were previously supported. That said, the machswap exploit is now viable for most devices that can run iOS 12:

There’ve been so many kernel exploit releases for the iOS platform as of late that our heads are still spinning, but that’s pleasant news if you’re a jailbreak aficionado, because it gives our respected jailbreak tool developers more resources to work with.
The latest kernel exploit reportedly comes by way of hacker PsychoTea, and it has been named machswap. The exploit appears to be viable on all A7-A9 devices running iOS 11.0-12.1.2, which could make it a worthwhile candidate for modern jailbreak tools such as Electra or unc0ver.
AlarmGroups brings a popular grouped alarm concept for iOS to life
Many people use the alarm feature in their iPhone’s Clock app to wake up on time for school or work every morning, but sometimes users will hit the stop button and inadvertently fall back asleep, defeating the purpose of setting the alarm in the first place.
You could create a cascade of alarms to prevent this from being a problem, or you could use a new free jailbreak tweak called AlarmGroups by iOS developer Fouad Raheb, which streamlines the process of generating and grouping multiple alarms to ensure you wake up every morning.
