Listening to music is a large part of the iPhone user experience, so it’s no surprise to see that Apple has invested in its own Apple Music platform for users to subscribe to in addition to the plethora of third-party alternatives that exist in the App Store. But if you’re jailbroken, then there are a lot of ways you can further enhance the music listening experience.
Apple has responded to concerns about inaccurate notification summaries created by Apple Intelligence, saying an iOS 18 update will fix them but it's unclear how.
Be sure to install the iOS 18.2.1 and iPadOS 18.2.1 software updates on your iPhone and iPad to get what Apple says are “important” bug fixes and security patches.
The iDownloadBlog team remains everlastingly dedicated to following the latest projects in the iPhone and iPad hacking communities as it relates to jailbreaking and installing add-ons that Apple would never think of allowing in the App Store.
In a rarely seen walk back on Tuesday, iOS security researcher and Dopamine jailbreak lead developer Lars Fröder (@opa334dev) released and then pulled an updated version of the Dopamine jailbreak tool in the form of version 2.3.
While perusing /r/jailbreak this past week, I happened upon a new and somewhat interesting release by Redditor /u/Smart-Ad-8635 called MySign that strives to be a convenient on-device sideloading platform for iPhones and iPads.
While some weeks are slower than others when it comes to news spouting from the iPhone hacking and jailbreaking communities, the fact remains that the iDownloadBlog team keeps close tabs on the latest developments that could have an impact on our readers.
Earlier this week, we shared a story about how palera1n team developers Nick Chan (@riscv64) and @mineekdev successfully ported iPadOS 18 to the natively unsupported iPad (6th generation). With this feat, it joins the iPad (7th generation) as one of only two checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable devices capable of running Apple’s latest firmware.
One of my biggest qualms with the Lock Screen on any iPhone or iPad is the fact that the number pad for passcode entry always has the same layout. This means that even if someone who’s glancing over your shoulder doesn’t know exactly what numbers you’re tapping on, they can instead easily memorize the positions of the number buttons you tap on to gain access to your device.
The first thing you see whenever you unlock your iPhone or iPad and begin using it is the Home Screen. This is the part of your device that acts as the springboard into your favorite apps and user experiences.
In case you weren’t already aware by now, the iPad (7th generation) is the only checkm8 bootrom exploit-susceptible device in Apple’s lineup that can run the latest available firmware – iPadOS 18. That said, it also just happens to be the only jailbreakable device on iOS/iPadOS 18 at this time. But what if that could change?
The iDownloadBlog team monitors for new developments in the iPhone jailbreak community and reports what we find all week long, but if you might’ve missed some of that important knowledge from this past week, then you’ve come to the right place because this will be a dedicated roundup piece aimed at helping you get caught up.
