It’s not uncommon to see 0.5-meter Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) and 3-meter Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C) cables supporting up to 40Gb/s of bandwidth for your computer and various peripherals. In fact, you may even commonly come across various cable lengths in between the aforementioned lengths.
The iDownloadBlog team remains everlastingly dedicated to following the latest projects in the iPhone and iPad hacking communities as it relates to jailbreaking and installing add-ons that Apple would never think of allowing in the App Store.
Apple just this week updated its vintage products web page with the addition of some iconic older devices to include all makes and models of the Apple Watch Series 4 and the 15-inch MacBook Pro that was released in mid-2019.
Nugget, the SparseRestore-based iPhone customization utility for macOS and Windows, picked up an additional update this week ahead of the New Year holiday, officially bringing it up to version 4.2.2.
When Apple introduced the AirTag back in 2021, it changed the way we think about mobile tracking devices. Rather than using a cellular or GPS signal directly, AirTag utilizes a hybrid Bluetooth and ultra-wideband signal over a Peer-to-Peer network consisting of other Apple devices to triangulate its exact location and report it back to you. This allows AirTag to be extremely power efficient.
Just under two weeks ago, we reported about the release of the EverPwnage jailbreak for legacy devices running iOS 8.0-9.0.2 with an optional untether included for certain devices. But just this past weekend, EverPwnage developer LukeZGD released version 1.1 with a bevy of enhancements that may catch your attention if you’ve been eyeballing this project.
While perusing /r/jailbreak this past week, I happened upon a new and somewhat interesting release by Redditor /u/Smart-Ad-8635 called MySign that strives to be a convenient on-device sideloading platform for iPhones and iPads.
While some weeks are slower than others when it comes to news spouting from the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities, the fact remains that the iDownloadBlog team keeps close tabs on the latest developments that could have an impact on our readers.
Earlier this week, we shared a story about how palera1n team developers Nick Chan (@riscv64) and @mineekdev successfully ported iPadOS 18 to the natively unsupported iPad (6th generation). With this feat, it joins the iPad (7th generation) as one of only two checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable devices capable of running Apple’s latest firmware.
One of my biggest qualms with the Lock Screen on any iPhone or iPad is the fact that the number pad for passcode entry always has the same layout. This means that even if someone who’s glancing over your shoulder doesn’t know exactly what numbers you’re tapping on, they can instead easily memorize the positions of the number buttons you tap on to gain access to your device.
Although Christmas came and went, that hasn’t stopped online stores from hosting exciting discounts on Nintendo Switch games and accessories, which is something we’re passionate about sharing with you.
The first thing you see whenever you unlock your iPhone or iPad and begin using it is the Home Screen. This is the part of your device that acts as the springboard into your favorite apps and user experiences.
