I grew up in the era of iOS 4-5, where jailbreaking iOS devices were hot at the time. Get Cydia, and download all the cool tweaks. Be the cool kid at school and show off your customized iPod touch. I'm an adult now and want to catch up on it since tech has evolved a lot. Do people still jailbreak iOS with the newer versions? Apple devs back in the days, did your org do any initiatives to prevent people from jailbreaking? Yoe: 2 Tc: 180k #tech #apple #swe #iphone @apple
The bug bounty apple put out curtailed most of the jailbreaking exploits
Interesting. Do you have a link where I can read about it?
It’s very difficult to jailbreak iPhones these days as Apple is coming up with new security features with new iPhone/iOS version
The jailbreak was at its peak at iOS 2.2.1 until iOS 4. After a while, it just became more and more harder to get around the exploits. Same with Android, the last revolution being the Xposed framework. After the payment apps started a crackdown on rooted/jailbroken devices, the risk:fun ratio beemed up like a hockey stick curve.
afaik the most recent attempt at jailbreak was checkra1n. I used that for ios 12.3.x and was working but was pretty unstable (ie crashes)
Of course. Go checkout the r/jailbreak sub Reddit
Pretty sure a dude called coolstar is probably working on iOS 15 JB atm
I haven’t jailbroken an iPhone since 2011
Same! I remember using redsnow to jailbreak 5.0.1. What did you use?
No idea. It’s been so long I have no clue what the steps were.
