"Something is happening lately that has never happened before.
The jailbreaks of the different versions of iOS 5 are now taking months, not days, to go public.
If you have an iPhone 4S or an iPad 2 and want to upgrade to the latest version, you're out of luck: the A5 chip made things really difficult and now an elite group of hackers need thousands of hours of brain power and effort to actually do it.
The question is: is it still viable?"
Apple ultimately decided to resolve these six-year-old court proceedings and agreed to pay $15 to each impacted iPhone 4s holder.
The Verge: All devices from the iPhone 4S to the iPhone X are impacted.
Fair play to them. On the ethical hacker side of things I would use the hack as leverage against Apple to continue to support their equipment. As they just dropped support for their iPad mini2’s etc. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with them, they work perfectly fine but are now blocked from receiving security updates etc. So the consumer is forced to purchase a new product that does the exact same thing.
Unc0ver team member posted a video running ios 12 jailbreak cydia on it. This means we are close to stable ios 12 jailbreak unc0ver.
yea ever since the 4s less and less people have been jail breaking. I see why its unstable when some idiots do it wrong. 2 people have come to me with failed attempts to jailbreak and I just go I dont work with apple products. + I guess apple gives you pretty much everything out of the box.
