The make or break is whether this one is finally untethered or not. I miss the days when the jailbreak community was abundant both in users and developers. Unfortunately it seems like its days are (have been?) numbered. A shame, because reverse engineering iOS[1] was a hell of a lot of fun.

Huh haven’t jailbroken my iPhones since my iPhone 5 back in 2014. Back then I feel that iOS was severely limited in functionality and jailbreaking allowed for custom solutions to problems Apple wasn’t addressing. Since then iOS has seen a plethora of features and I feel there’s little reason to jailbreak anymore. Does anyone know if there’s any good reason to jailbreak anymore? Any killer functionality that would make it worth it?

Are iOS exploits becoming more common? Feels like a few years ago they were rare but now they’re being released more often.

Apparently they are, Zerodium has even stopped accepting new iOS privilege escalation exploits: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2020/05/14/zerodium_ios_flaws/

Not very appealing, honestly.

That can't be cost efficient compared to alternatives can it?

This includes the iPhone Xs and 11 (and presumably all A12 and A13 devices). Was there a new exploit found on these chips? Last I checked only devices with chips older than the A12 were vulnerable to the checkra1n exploit.

new exploit:

> using a 0day kernel vulnerability from @Pwn20wnd
