In an unfortunate turn of events for the jailbreak community, it seems that Apple will not be supporting the iPad (7th generation) with this year’s release of iPadOS 26, which means that the last remaining checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable device will no longer receive major software updates this year and that checkm8-based jailbreaks will not be able to pwn iPadOS 26.
Here's a roundup of all the key announcements Apple made at WWDC25 today, including its new Liquid Glass interfaces for the iPhone and other devices.
Following the conclusion of its WWDC25 keynote, Apple has released the first developer betas of iOS 26 and its other renamed operating systems.
Apple has previewed the overhauled user interfaces across the iPhone and other devices, known as Liquid Glass, at the WWDC2025 today.
Google Chrome will soon require at least iOS 17, causing it to stop working on older iPhones and iPads, such as the iPhone X and certain iPad Pro models.
Hacking and jailbreaking iPhones & iPads is one of our favorite activities here at iDownloadBlog, so it goes without saying that we follow these spaces very closely and enjoy sharing our findings with our like-minded readers.
The built-in Preview app from the Mac should expand to the iPhone and iPad with Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates to let you manage PDFs.
In an interesting turn of events, iOS developer @skadz108, the same person who created the dirtyZero device customization toolbox based on Ian Beer’s CVE-2025-24203 security vulnerability, took to social media platform 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) on Thursday to share that they were working on a new project called Alpine.
To this day, AltStore remains the most popular way for iPhone and iPad users to sideload apps, but it has the sometimes-pesky requirement of needing a computer, which isn’t always available when you need it most. For this reason, there have been several attempts to create a computerless sideloading alternative for iPhone and iPad users, such as SideStore.
Just yesterday, we showed you a jailbreak tweak called Scrobbit by iOS developer iCraze that could automatically scrobble music from other music streaming apps to the Last.fm app on your jailbroken device. But as it would seem, Scrobbit has some healthy competition.
Whenever you listen to a song in in the last.fm app, that listen becomes known as a ‘Scrobble,’ which is a fancy way of indicating that you’ve listened to the song before and allowing last.fm to make algorithmic decisions about what to play next based on your listening history.
Whenever it comes to hacking or jailbreaking iPhones and iPads (even Apple TVs), the iDownloadBlog team is never far behind the latest announcements. We report on the latest news and releases as they happen, ensuring that our readers benefit from these kinds of device enhancement tools as they become available.
