Jailbreak for All iOS 13.5 Devices Close to Release, Claim Hackers

[0837990]

youtube premium gives you that, along with background play.

And that’s another subscription cost. Which I assume most people wouldn’t pay to watch YouTube content, no matter what. It’s mostly gimmicky time killing content with low quality or unverified information anyway.

Personally I refuse to have any Google app on my phone. So I use YouTube on my phone in Safari, and use Wipr as my ad and content blocker, and it always blocks all ads on YouTube. And it works just as fine as the app.

I’m not gonna jailbreak my phone. Haven’t jailbroken an iPhone since the iPhone 3G. But the point is that any device that can be jailbroken is by definition not a secure device in the first place. Kinda disappointing. Apple devices seem to become less and less secure these days.

Can anybody help with jailbreaking an iPad2 on iOS 10.3? Nothing seems to be working.

I love these posts and the inevitable “why even jailbreak these days”. You can turbocharge your iPhone including quick animations, even faster opening of apps, and better general performance on the home screen. My personal favorite is the ability to downgrade AppStore apps, no YouTube ads, changing the app splash screen to black, no silly swipe up to unlock on Face ID phones, and battery percent instead of an icon at all times. And up until iOS13 it was the only way to get dark mode, unobtrusive volume hud, and better control center functionality. You can thank the jailbreak scene for the improvements Apple makes painfully slowly via each yearly iOS iteration. The truth is a lot of the innovation Apple claims as their own happens by developers working behind the scenes on a jailbreak.

The only reason I care for this is that it allows better exploits to be created so government actors can snoop on you and anybody willing to pay for it can install spy/ransomware on your device.

Apple has to fix these bugs.

I've never really felt the need to have a rooted iPhone. Maybe that's lame. But I also never wanted to root my car, my microwave and the phones before my iPhones. I do want to be root on my servers, though.

 

[H2SO4]

Haven't jailbroken mine in years, what's the point nowadays, are there still features you really need by compromising the security on your device.

Stability was always an issue on the iPhones I had it on, so just after a short while I went back to stock iOS.

Whilst I'm not a jailbreaker, (never have been), I've noticed that people ask this everytime a jailbreak comes along and the answer is ALWAYS the same, (sometimes it's the same people asking - you'd think they'd know by now). Yes, there may be a price to pay as far as securtiy is concerned but there are tangible benefits in flexibility and choice that outweigh the walled garden approach for those that choose to.

I couldn’t go back to a non jailbroken iPhone. Visual customizability aside, the ability to remove carrier restrictions, the ability to use siri, google and Alexa together, custom activation tweaks, a better CarPlay, multitasking, landscape support, disk utilities, EQE/ability to customize sound to work better in difficerent speakers and maximize their sound and the list goes on. Starting to use and understand tweaks is hard to pitch to someone because which ones ppl fall in love with is very specific to how you use your phone. But once you start you can’t go back 😂

jailbreaking/hacking = the new ww2 cipher/decript war

... Apple devices seem to become less and less secure these days.

How does that even track when the iphone 1 was "jail broken" (not as such but was hacked for another network)?

 

[Aston441]

I may have to do it just to stop the iOS update nonsense and turn off the notification circle of annoyance on the settings app icon

 

[Mr_Brightside_@]

Adding a vibrate toggle to CC is worth jailbreaking alone for me, but there are so many added benefits.

lots of discussion about the relative merits of jailbreaking and none of the novel zero day kernel vulnerability?

Which one? The one from April has been patched in 13.5.

 

[Saipher]

You don't really own your device until you jailbreak it. The majority don't mind walking around with shackles. It's the minority that want full use of the device they've paid for.

Oh please... 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Exactly.

haven’t jailbroken in years...would this allow me to put IOS 13 on an ipad 2?

 

[bigjnyc]

I was an avid jail breaker back in the day but now what really is the point

There are still tons of tweaks and useful changes that Apple doesn't provide... I'll give you a few of my favorites:

multitasking on iPhone XS Max - 2 apps on the screen at once

floating dock like the iPad where you can add more apps

choosing default apps for mail, internet, etc...

always on display on OLED phones

ability to watch videos and use almost all apps on carplay

ability to place icons anywhere on the home screen and change their sizes

change fonts, themes to spruce things up

ability to add widgets on the home screen and lock screen

that's just to name a few, there are tons more. and furthermore Apple has copied a bunch of tweaks from the jailbreak community so regular iOS users benefit.

 

[Mr_Brightside_@]

If jailbreaking can stop the nagging prompts for iOS updates, I believe I'll be jailbreaking my devices soon. The method with VPN blacklisting is not completely satisfactory to me.

No

 

[blackcrayon]

It used to be cool, but I can't see the value with it now. Apart from a few "that looks cool" things and changing the font, and making it look like I lived on the moon by faking my location, it got boring quickly.

I'm not usually very keen to jailbreak my currently used iPhone and iPad (because it keeps me from Apple's updates with new features, for one). For older devices, it adds extra functionality- like being able to remotely control the device, play more types of emulators, etc.

I don’t think I’d ever get bored of that!

 

[nordique]

Yes!! Amazing news

it’s not for everyone. But I love theming my phone, icons, speeding up Face ID with Auto Unlock and all the other awesome things jail breaking brings. Like no ads on you tube and twitter or Home screen widgets and lock screen AoD, different themes, and changing SMS/iMessage chat Colours and appearance

I have an "old" iPad Mini 4, and if Jailbreak allows me to run an Amiga emulator, then I'm all over that!

 

[Googlyhead]

It’s been a while since I used a JB, however; once this is available; I’ll probably do it, but this time more to fix stupid stuff than to add missing features.
I’d hope for a couple of essentials; disabling annoyances like gestures, fix whatever they did to cripple the battery life since iOS8.x, and hopefully re-instate/emulate support for 32-bit apps.

 

[AZMecha]

JB was awesome... I do miss Bigify to size icons and of course complete themes that included a customer DC/Marvel phone dialers, music players. Music pirates was also good allowed you to SSH into phone an move all downloaded songs...

Ahh memories

 

[Macyourdayy]

That’s the only tweak I missed, videopane, for the picture in picture option. I know many don’t see the benefit of such on a phone but it was always a handy piece for me.

i don’t see a huge benefit for me to jb nowadays but i cant deny that I am curious to try and jb at least on the iPad to mess around.

Yep. My main reason was for customisable control centre functions as making adjustments back then was excruciating, plus there was a fantastic wifi channel and signal strength visualiser. Also squeezing five apps in the dock was awesome.

The point is that Apple’s latest iOS is not as locked-down as many assumed.
