Jailbreak news of the week: 0-day PAC teased, Nugget Mobile v2.0, Hello Keyboard AI, LazyCursor, & more...

The iDB team takes its approach to covering iPhone and iPad jailbreaking news very seriously. Things happen fast, so although we cover content throughout the week as it happens, we also like to recap everything each weekend so that people aren’t left behind while information moves forward.

If you were wondering what happened in the iPhone and iPad hacking world during this past week or wanted to see what jailbreak tweaks had been released, spanning Monday, October 14^th to Sunday, October 20^th, then you’ve come to the right place because we have everything in one easy-to-digest roundup piece coming at you.

So without further ado, let’s get started.

Important stuff from this week

0-day PAC bypass teased

Security researcher @alfiecg_dev took to X (formerly Twitter) this week to share that they had discovered a 0-day PAC bypass for iOS & iPadOS.

Being a 0-day, this means that Apple is blissfully unaware of its existence and doesn’t yet have a fix for it.

You can learn more about this feat in our full news post.

Nugget Mobile updates

Nugget Mobile, the system customization app for non-jailbroken devices that utilizes the SparseRestore exploit, picked up some important updates this week.

You can learn about them below:

Nugget Mobile v2.0 released

Hello Keyboard AI

Have you ever wished that typing or editing text from the iOS keyboard could be easier? Well with the help of AI, it can be.

The Hello Keyboard AI jailbreak tweak integrates AI features into the iOS keyboard that you can access with shortcuts. You can then replace existing text with the improved text generated by AI to sound better.

You can learn more about Hello Keyboard AI and where you can get it from in our full review post.

WireDock

With the WireDock jailbreak tweak, you can add a customizable colored outline to your Home Screen’s Dock with just a few taps.

You can learn more about WireDock, including where you can get it from, in our full review post.

LockMoji15+

The new LockMoji15+ jailbreak tweak lets iPhone users with Face ID capabilities replace the Lock Screen’s padlock glyph with either an Emoji or a Unicode symbol of their choosing.

You can choose one symbol for the authenticated state and another symbol for the unauthenticated state separate of one another.

You can learn more about LockMoji15+ in our full review post.

LazyCursor

With the LazyCursor jailbreak tweak, you can do more things with the cursor on your jailbroken iPhone or iPad when typing.

Not only can you prevent the cursor from blinking, but you can also either hide it entirely or change its color.

You can learn more about LazyCursor and how it works in our full review post.
