In April of last year, iOS hacker axi0mX came forward with the alloc8 untethered bootrom exploit for all models of the tried and true iPhone 3GS. But as of this weekend, he announced an update for the exploit that brings improvements to stability and usability.

Apple Watch Series 4 is a seriously praised smartwatch for a good reason, but last year's Series 3 is no slouch and it comes with some pretty compelling features. You can get a baseline 38mm aluminum Series 3 with a sport band from Apple right now for as low as $279 versus $399 for a 40mm aluminum Series 4.
