Apple just this week refreshed its 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro offerings with more powerful internal hardware, so while the externals look nearly identical to the 2021 year models, the early-2023 versions offer a lot more power and capability.
The MacDirtyCow bug, also known as CVE-2022-46689, has opened Pandora’s box for Apple on iOS & iPadOS 15.x-16.1.2 because it allows people to make system customizations on their non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads that they technically shouldn’t be allowed to make. It all works by sideloading a special app that exploits this bug.
TrollStore is one of the best ways to install powerful apps on your iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 betas). Not only that, but those apps will also remain permanently signed because of the CoreTrust bug that it exploits, so you won’t have to re-sign those apps like you would after using something like AltStore or Sideloadly.
The palera1n jailbreak for A9-A11 chip-equipped iOS & iPadOS 15 and 16 devices took the community by storm as one of the most popular current jailbreak tools. The checkm8 hardware-based bootrom exploit that powers palera1n makes it a popular choice among jailbreakers since this exploit can’t be patched by Apple.
Life’s problems happen fast, but the good news is that there’s no shortage of jailbreak tweaks that can help you cope with those problems in a pinch.
The iPhone 14 Pro series of smartphones have been on the market for just under two months, and since receiving my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I’ve kept steady with my annual hunt for the best accessories to go along with Apple’s latest handset.
One of the hallmark new features of the iPhone 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max, apart from the controversial Dynamic Island, is the always-on display. This is a feature that other smartphone brands have had for years, in addition to iPhone jailbreakers who used tweaks to unlock similar capabilities. But now, it’s available to everyone.
There’s always a subtle urge by jailbreakers to have the ability to spoof information on their iPhone, whether it’s their location, a phone call, or something else of potential significance.
Now that I've had ample time to get used to my iPhone 14 Pro Always-On display, I have a few thoughts and feelings about how Apple could make a few simple software tweaks in order to make the overall user experience better.
Like many others, I was quick to order an Apple Watch Ultra just as the window to do so opened, and I received my Apple Watch on launch day. The two-week wait gave me plenty of time to research and think about what strap or band I would want use with it daily.
While most people use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock their modern iPhones and iPads, there are still times when you’ll be required to enter your passcode. Examples include after rebooting your device, after pressing and holding certain buttons on your device, failing a biometric authentication attempt, and when you don’t have biometrics set up on your device.
As Apple announces their annual update to the iPhone lineup, I return to my iPhone 8. You know, it was a good year. iPhone 8 has an incredible Touch ID "button" and several other key features of the day. And while I’d love to use my iPhone 13 Pro Max all year until the newest flagship lands in my mailbox, I just can’t afford it.
