Those who’ve been with the jailbreak community for as long as I have should be vividly familiar with the name Springtomize. It’s perhaps one of the most notorious all-in-one jailbreak tweaks ever released, and it’s always receiving updates year after year with support for Apple’s latest and greatest operating system as new jailbreaks find their way into existence. This time around is no different.
The unc0ver jailbreak supports a semi-untethered jailbreak on iOS & iPadOS 14.0-14.3 and a fully unethered jailbreak on arm64e devices (iPhone XS and later) running iOS 14.4-14.5.1, which means that the tool is now compatible with all versions of iOS & iPadOS ranging from 11.0-14.3 (and 14.4-14.5.1 with a big asterisk). To date, AltStore is the best and most reliable way to install the unc0ver jailbreak app on your iPhone or iPad.
As long as your iPhone or iPad is running running iOS or iPadOS 12.2 or later, then you can use AltStore to install the unc0ver jailbreak, and in this tutorial, we walk you through the steps necessary to make it happen so you can reap all the benefits.
It was only yesterday that Pwn20wnd released unc0ver v4.0.0 to the general public with official support for iOS 13.0-13.3 on A12(X)-A13 equipped devices. In doing so, unc0ver became the first public jailbreak to support A13 devices, and also the first public jailbreak to support iOS 13 on A12(X) devices. But that’s old news now.
On Sunday, Pwn20wnd released a small update for the unc0ver jailbreak, officially bringing it up to version 4.0.1. The hacker announced the latest update via Twitter earlier in the afternoon:
With all the exciting developments happening in the jailbreak community lately, from checkra1n receiving Linux support to the unc0ver jailbreak being on the cusp of implementing A12X-A13 support on iOS 13.3, it’s never been a better time to be a jailbreaker.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweaks released from Monday, February 10th to Sunday, February 16th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
The iOS 13.4 public beta dropped this week while Samsung unveiled new Galaxies and the rumor-mill discussed an upcoming budget iPhone, 5G models and more. We also have a fine selection of apps, tutorials, accessories and jailbreak tweaks for you to check out. This is iDB's Editor's Desk content roundup column for the week of February 10-16, 2020.
Those who’ve keenly waited for the unc0ver jailbreak to officially support A12-A13 devices running iOS 13.0-13.3 devices by way of Brandon Azad’s oob_timestamp tfp0 exploit will be happy to know that the wait is finally over.
In a Tweet shared just this afternoon, project lead developer Pwn20wnd launched unc0ver v4.0.0 with support for the aforementioned device types and firmware versions:
If you’re anything like me, then you might use particular device settings in certain apps to get the most out of using said apps. For example, perhaps you use maximum brightness in YouTube and a lower brightness in Safari; alternatively you might use Rotation Lock in Safari, but not in YouTube.
Assuming the aforementioned behavior describes you in any capacity, you might want to turn your attention to a newly released jailbreak tweak called Appaze 2 by iOS developer AnthoPak. This tweak lets you configure system settings on a per-app basis to make using those apps as comfortable as possible.
Pwn20wnd issued a build of the updated unc0ver jailbreak tool with support for Brandon Azad’s oob_timestamp tfp0 exploit on A12(X)-A13 running iOS 13.0-13.3 to internal beta testers earlier this week. While many anticipated a public beta launch shortly after all the positive comments shared by internal beta testers, a bug was later discovered that delayed any sort of public release.
Fortunately for those waiting to use the new unc0ver on their compatible device(s), patience is almost certainly a virtue. In a Tweet shared Friday evening by Pwn20wnd, we learn how the pesky bug that delayed the initial public release of the renewed unc0ver jailbreak tool had been resolved:
Apple's slow process of reopening stores in China continues, as the company confirms at least one more store opening its doors soon.
Even if the launch of Apple's first 5G iPhone is months away, it's obviously getting plenty of attention well in advance.
A lanyard or wrist strap can be an easy and quick way to make sure you don't drop your iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max.
If the name Gerard Williams III sounds familiar, it might be because you've seen his name associated with the overall chip design of Apple's A-series processors over the years.
