Last chance to downgrade to iOS 12.0.1 for potential jailbreakability
Apple officially released iOS 12.1 to the public last week, and if history is anything to go by, then that means the Cupertino-based tech giant will soon close the gates for downgrades to iOS 12.0.1 via iTunes.
Apple generally closes the signing window for older firmware approximately 14 days after a new version is released, give or take a day. That said, if you’ve been thinking about downgrading back to iOS 12.0.1, then you should probably get a move on.
No settlement with Qualcomm, Apple is gearing up for trial
All hopes for some sort of settlement with Qualcomm were dashed today as Apple told Reuters it was not in talks “at any level” to settle its wide-ranging legal dispute with the chip maker.
Possible JailbreakMe-style jailbreak for iOS 4.0-12.0.1 in the works
If you remember the good old days when you could visit a web page in mobile Safari and swipe your finger over a virtual slider to achieve a jailbreak (yes, I’m pointing at you JailbreakMe), then we’ve got some good news for you.
iOS hacker and developer Sem Voigtländer (@UKERN Software) appears to be working on a JailbreakMe-styled tool that you can visit in mobile Safari that theoretically supports iOS firmware versions from 4.0 to 12.0.1 (*with some exceptions*).
Coming soon to Facebook Messenger: retracting sent messages
Viber, WhatsApp and Instagram allow you to remove an erroneous message for both the sender and the recipient(s) and now Facebook is working on a similar feature for Messenger.
If you aren’t already jailbroken, stay on the lowest possible firmware and avoid updates
If you’re already rocking a jailbroken handset by way of Electra or unc0ver, then you should consider yourself lucky. Unfortunately, those who updated to iOS 11.4-11.4.1 or iOS 12.0+, either on purpose or by accident, can’t jailbreak at this time.
If you fall into the latter category and have been crossing your fingers for a jailbreak, then you might be asking yourself whether you should stay where you are or upgrade to iOS 12.1; that’s a question we intend to help you answer in this piece.

Review: Twelve South PowerPic—a 5×7 picture frame that wirelessly charges your iPhone
You just arrived home after a long day and your iPhone could use some recharging. And when a guy needs some juice, what better way to juice up your iPhone than drop it on an elegant picture frame that's sitting on the table?

Add more haptic feedback to the official Twitter app with TapticTwitter
I’ve always been a fan of jailbreak tweaks that bring haptic feedback capabilities to unsupported parts of iOS or apps I use frequently, and with that in mind, I couldn’t help but recommend a new free release called TapticTwitter by iOS developer Chloee.
Just as the name implies, TapticTwitter brings some much-needed haptic feedback to the official Twitter app for iOS.
KeenLab teases jailbroken iPhone XS Max on iOS 12.1
Every time Apple releases a major new software update for its iOS device lineup, it seems like the talented security researchers over at KeenLab are the first to jailbreak it.
KeenLab was the first to demonstrate a proof-of-concept jailbreak on iOS 12.0 in June and iOS 11.3.1 in April, but now it seems the security firm has found a backdoor into Apple’s iOS 12.1 update, which was only released last week.
