This is the first open source jailbreak tool based on the checkm8 exploit developed by LinusHenze. However, this was only available for developers. It is possible to install Sileo or Cydia. Currently, the iPad Pro is the only officially supported device and iPhone 7 is in testing. This is very similar to the Checkra1n jailbreak.
The most popular Pangu jailbreak team has demonstrated iOS 14 at Mosec Min Spark Zheng SparkZheng has published one of the images via his official twitter account to prove the iOS 14 jailbreak demo with Pangu.
Most probably, the Pangu team will not publish the Pangu jailbreak for iOS 14 to the public just like previous jailbreak attempt. However, the Pangu team never released the exploit to the public after iOS 9 Jailbreak. So, we can not expect Pangu iOS 14 jailbreak from them. However, it seems iOS 14 is vulnerable, so we have a hope for iOS 14 Jailbreak, another jailbreak tool.
Luca Todesco, also known as qwertyoruiop was the developer of the most popular Yalu jailbreak which is available for iOS 10 He reported many vulnerabilities to create potential jailbreak for many iOS versions. Now he did not attend the Yalu jailbreak and he worked for the Checkra1n jailbreak. So we can not expect Yalu Jailbreak for iOS Luca Todesco qwertyoruiopz hinted something about the new iOS 14 jailbreak.
Still there is not much information about that. However, he clearly mentioned this not about Checkra1n. This is an incomplete jailbreak for iOS 12 — iOS A famous Jailbreak developer GeoSn0w developed this using the tfp0 exploit. Always, he comes up once new iOS releases. So, it might update osiris or another new Jailbreak tool for iOS 14 Jailbreak.
Now Apple is no longer signing iOS So, there is a new method to upgrade to iOS Follow the below guide. If your device is already jailbroken, restore the RootFS and re-jailbreak it again. Step 02 — Now open Cydia or Sileo on your iPhone.
Add this repo: myxxdev. Step 04 — Finally, the iOS Then began to install the iOS Step 05 — Once the iOS Now you can jailbreak iOS Apple always wanted to prevent Jailbreak on Apple devices. Accordingly, iOS 14 Jailbreak software based will be very hard. Apple put all effort into releasing iOS 14 with minimum vulnerabilities as usual. Checkra1n is also computer based Jailbreak and they are not attending for Online Jailbreak. Even Checkra1n official Windows support is also pending for previous iOS versions too.
Also, the A14 chip security is very high. However, iPhone 12 Jailbreak is available with Unc0ver. This allows M1 Max to be configured with up to 64GB of fast unified memory. With its unparalleled performance, M1 Max is the most powerful chip ever built for a pro notebook. The new polishing cloth is a soft white with an embossed Apple logo.
From a report: Apple does not specify what material it is made out of. Apple just dropped a new version of the MacBook Pro that draws a much clearer line between the system and its perennial favorite thin-and-light sibling.
From a report: The new system is powered by the new M1 Pro and Max, souped up versions of the chip the company unveiled at today's event. The company says the core chip is capable of allowing up to 3x the memory bandwidth and up to of the M1, coupled with a 16 core GPU.
The Max, meanwhile, bumps the GPU up to 32 cores. What's clear is that the company is targeting its bread and butter creative pro demographic in ways it didn't with last year's models. Unlike last year's model, the new models, which are available in and inch models offer entirely new redesigns.
They also feature built-in fans for high-performance applications, though the company says it will rarely turn on. The system also marks the end of the middling-received Touchbar, with a full function key in its place. As one feature leaves, an old favorite returns. Magsafe is back. And, yes, this thing has ports. The bezel has been reduced, instead opting for an iPhone-style notch at the top to house the webcam.
The camera has -- thankfully -- been upgraded for these teleconferencing days at p no 4k, sadly, but an improvement over the long-standing model with a larger sensor and wider aperture. Apple was on a collision course with South Korea on Friday over new requirements that it stop forcing app developers to use its payment systems, with a government official warning of a possible investigation into the iPhone maker's compliance.
From a report: The development comes after South Korea amended the Telecommunication Business Act in August to try to curb the tech majors' market dominance and stop the big app store operators such as Apple and Alphabet's Google from charging commissions on in-app purchases.
The law went into effect last month but Apple had told the South Korean government that it was already complying and did not need to change its app store policy, a Korea Communications Commission KCC official in charge of the matter told Reuters. Apple has taken down one of the world's most popular Koran apps in China, following a request from officials. From a report: Quran Majeed is available across the world on the App Store -- and has nearly , reviews. It is used by millions of Muslims.
The BBC understands that the app was removed for hosting illegal religious texts. The Chinese government has not responded to the BBC's request for comment. The deletion of the app was first noticed by Apple Censorship -- a website that monitors apps on Apple's App Store globally.
In a statement from the app's maker, PDMS, the company said: "According to Apple, our app Quran Majeed has been removed from the China App store because it includes content that requires additional documentation from Chinese authorities.
The Chinese Communist Party officially recognises Islam as a religion in the country. However, China has been accused of human rights violations, and even genocide, against the mostly Muslim Uyghur ethnic group in Xinjiang.
Apple declined to comment, but directed the BBC to its Human Rights Policy, which states: "We're required to comply with local laws, and at times there are complex issues about which we may disagree with governments. Andrew Cunningham writes via Ars Technica: It has been well over a decade since PowerPC Macs roamed the earth -- so long that the Intel Macs that replaced them are themselves being replaced by something else.
And amazingly, the browser has continued to trundle on ever since. But continuing to backport Firefox features to aging, stuck-in-time PowerPC processors only got more difficult as time went on. And in March of this year, Kaiser announced that TenFourFox updates would be ending after over a decade of development. The final planned release of TenFourFox was earlier this month. Kaiser's full post is long, but it's worth a read for vintage-computer enthusiasts or anyone who works on software -- Kaiser expresses frustration with the realities of developing and supporting a niche app, but he also highlights TenFourFox's impressive technical achievements and ruminates on the nature of the modern Internet and open source software development [ Kaiser doesn't intend to fully halt work on the browser, but he is downshifting it into what he calls "hobby mode.
Kaiser also won't commit to providing support for these additions or providing them on any kind of schedule. Other developers are also welcome to continue to release TenFourFox builds on their own. Blender today announced that Apple has joined the Blender Development Fund to support continued development of the free open source 3D graphics tool.
From a report: Alongside a contribution to the Development Fund, Apple will provide engineering expertise and additional resources to Blender and its broader development community to help support Blender artists and developers, according to the announcement.
Apple said today that one of the reasons it does not allow app sideloading or the use of third-party app stores on iOS is because of privacy and security reasons, pointing to the fact that Android sees between 15 to 47 times more malware compared to its app ecosystem. The Record reports: Apple says that the reason its iOS devices are locked into the App Store as the only way to install applications is for security reasons, as this allows its security teams to scan applications for malicious content before they reach users.
Apple's report then goes on to list multiple malware campaigns targeting Android devices where the threat actors asked users to sideload malicious apps hosted on internet sites or third-party app stores. Today's 3 1-page report PDF is the second iteration of the same report, with a first version PDF being published back in June, shortly after EU authorities announced their investigation.
Apple is likely to slash its projected iPhone 13 production targets for by as many as 10 million units as prolonged chip shortages hit its flagship product. Bloomberg reports: The company had expected to produce 90 million new iPhone models in the last three months of the year, but it's now telling manufacturing partners that the total will be lower because Broadcom and Texas Instruments are struggling to deliver enough components [ The technology giant is one of the world's largest chip buyers and sets the annual rhythm for the electronics supply chain.
But even with strong buying power, Apple is grappling with the same supply disruptions that have wreaked havoc on industries around the world. Major chipmakers have warned that demand will continue to outpace supply throughout next year and potentially beyond. Apple gets display parts from Texas Instruments, while Broadcom is its longtime supplier of wireless components.
Apple also is facing component shortages from other suppliers. In the video, the iPhone is said to receive power via the connection, as well as being able to handle data transfers over a USB-C cable. After the schematics were set in place, it then became a challenge to shrink it down and install it into an iPhone. Pillonel has spent a few months on his creation, with a blog post from May showing the thinking behind the replacement, and the challenges of replacing the Lightning port itself.
A video at that time showed a DIY prototype that worked and laid out the work ahead to make it small enough to work within an iPhone enclosure. A late September update advised he had designed and ordered a flexible PCB, a key component in enabling the port switch to occur. He adds a future video is in production, explaining how the board was made and squeezed into the iPhone itself.
Apple's next hardware event will take place on October 18th , according to invites it sent out today. From a report: The company is widely expected to use its second fall event to launch a pair of new MacBooks, a redesigned higher-end Mac Mini, and possibly a pair of third-generation AirPods.
The invite video teases one word: Unleashed. The new MacBooks would be the latest step in Apple's transition away from Intel chips, replacing them with an Arm-based processor called the M1X that Apple designs itself. The new chip could boost performance compared to the M1 chip that debuted last year.
The maligned OLED touch bar, mercifully, could be on the way out. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently noted that stock of the company's existing MacBook Pro appears to be running low. Apple wants another go in its legal battle against Epic Games. From a report: On Friday night, Apple announced it would ask for a stay on a judge's September order saying Apple would have to allow apps to direct customers to external websites. Apple is also appealing the ruling. Because Epic Games is also appealing the nine counts it lost, it could take years before the case is resolved and Apple is forced to make any changes to iOS, the operating system for iPhones, as the two companies wrangle through the appeals process in court.
The judge is expected to rule on Apple's request for a stay next month. Apple's move is a surprising turnaround from its tone following the decision in September. While the company always left open the possibility of an appeal, it portrayed the judge's ruling as a resounding legal win for its App Store business model, which has come under fire from technology rivals, international regulators and members of the U. The Friday night announcement inspired a torrent of commentary from Apple critics.
They pointed out the move would preserve Apple's App Store profits by preventing apps from using alternative payment systems. One company announced last week that it was already working on a cheaper, web-based alternative to Apple's app payments -- a move made possible only by the ruling that Apple is now appealing. From a report: RCS brings a number of modern features -- including support for audio messages, group chats, typing indicators and read receipts -- and end-to-end encryption to traditional text messaging.
But it's unlikely Apple will play ball. In response to a tweet about how group chats are incompatible between iPhone and Android devices, Lockheimer said, "group chats don't need to break this way. There exists a Really Clear Solution. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney, whose high-profile antitrust lawsuit against Apple is now under appeal, is today calling out the iPhone maker for giving itself access to an advertising slot its competitors don't have: the iPhone's Settings screen.
The services being suggested are personalized to the device owner, based on which ones they already subscribe to, it appears. For example, those without an Apple Music subscription may see an ad offering a free six-month trial. However, current Apple Music subscribers may instead see a prompt to add on a service they don't yet have, like AppleCare coverage for their devices. Sweeney suggests this sort of first-party advertising is an anticompetitive risk for Apple, as some of the services it's pushing here are those that directly compete with third-party apps published on its App Store.
But those third-party apps can't gain access to the iPhone's Settings screen, of course they can only bid for ad slots within the App Store itself. Writes Sweeney: "New from the guys who banned Fortnite: settings-screen ads for their own music service, which come before the actual settings, and which aren't available to other advertisers like Spotify or Sound Cloud.
It's been 10 years since the death of Steve Jobs. Michael Dell talks about his memories of the tech icon, including when Jobs tried to convince Dell to license Mac software to run on Intel-based PCs. CNET reports: Fast forward to Jobs, ousted from Apple after a fallout with the company's board in , had started a new company, called Next, and created a beautiful but expensive workstation, with its own operating system, as well as software called WebObjects for building web-based applications.
Dell says Jobs came to his house in Texas several times that year, trying to convince him to use the Next operating system on Dell PCs, by arguing that it was better than Microsoft's Windows software and could undermine the Unix workstation market being touted by Sun Microsystems.
The problem, Dell says he told Jobs, was that there were no applications for it and zero customer interest. Still, Dell's company worked a little bit with Next and used WebObjects to build its first online store in the mid-'90s. Jobs and his team had ported the Mac software, based on Next's Mach operating system, and had it running on the Intel x86 chips that powered Dell PCs.
But Jobs had a counteroffer: He was worried that licensing scheme might undermine Apple's own Mac computer sales because Dell computers were less costly. Dell smiles when he tells the story. Still, Dell acknowledges the deal was a what-could-have-been moment in history. The Dutch antitrust authority has found that Apple's rules requiring software developers to use its in-app payment system are anti-competitive and ordered it to make changes , Reuters reported on Thursday, in the latest regulatory setback for the iPhone maker.
The Dutch investigation into whether Apple's practices amounted to an abuse of a dominant market position was launched in but later reduced in scope to focus primarily on dating market apps. They included a complaint from Match Group, owner of the popular dating service Tinder, which said Apple's rules were hindering it from direct communications with its customers about payments. Japan's Fair Trade Commission will investigate whether Apple and Google are leveraging their dominance in the smartphone operating system market to eliminate competition and severely limit options for consumers.
From a report: The study will involve interviews and surveys with OS operators, app developers and smartphone users, commission Secretary-General Shuichi Sugahisa told reporters Wednesday.
The initiative will explore market conditions not only for smartphones, but for smartwatches and other wearables. The antitrust watchdog will compile a report outlining OS market structure and the reason why competition has remained static. The commission will work with the central government's Digital Market Competition Council, which is moving forward with its own market probe.
Practices found to be anticompetitive will be itemized in the report, along with possible violations of Japan's law against monopolies. If officials decide that the law applies to the OS market, OS operators will be told to submit regular reports on transactions to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
