If you’ve been following the jailbreak community as of late, then you’ve undoubtedly caught wind of Pwn20wnd’s plethora of recent announcements regarding the potential synergy between the unc0ver jailbreak tool and Brandon Azad’s yet-to-be-released tfp0 exploit.

Azad’s exploit was initially revealed to work on the iPhone 11 running iOS 13.3, and according to Pwn20wnd, it should also be viable on A12(X) devices and with all firmware versions between iOS 13.0-13.3. At the same time, Pwn20wnd cited three notable hurdles that would need to be dealt with if tweak injection was to work in the PAC-less implementation on iOS 13 via unc0ver.

Avid jailbreakers sporting any of Apple’s latest A13-equipped handsets have yet to see any official jailbreak solutions for their particular devices. But could that change in the foreseeable future?

A Tweet with an embedded video demonstration shared Monday afternoon by Twitter user @08Tc3wBB appears to demonstrate an iPhone X on iOS 13.3.1 beta 3 being jailbroken with the assistance of an unknown side-loaded jailbreak app.

The jailbreak community has been on fire these past few months, with checkra1n delivering an un-patchable jailbreak experience for handsets ranging from the iPhone 5s to the iPhone X, and with unc0ver picking up support for iOS 12.4.1. But hey, why let the pwnage stop there?

Renowned hacker and iOS security researcher iBSparkes broke the silence this weekend after sharing a teaser of what appears to be successful tfp0 on a brand-new A13 device running iOS 13.3. Yes indeed folks, that’s both Apple’s latest hardware and software – pwned in one fell swoop. Not too shabby!

Newly teased tfp0 bug supports iOS 13.3 and A12/A13 devices

It’s always exciting for the jailbreak community when someone comes forward with a brand-new bug that could potentially enable exploitation for jailbreaking newer devices and versions of iOS. After all, Apple tries very hard to keep iOS bug-free and quickly patches anything that even smells jailbreakable.

With that in mind, a newly-teased ‘tfp0’ bug shared first by @08Tc3wBB and later validated by security researcher @RazMashat would appear to be compatible with Apple’s latest and greatest iOS 13.3 firmware on handsets up to and including the A13 variety. Indeed; even the iPhone 11 Pro platform seems to be vulnerable:
