Jailbreak is not as dead as it seems

A while ago, jailbreaking almost died. This was due to the disappearance of two of the three most important Cydia repositories. Being Cydia where to find apps and tweaks for the iPhone, this was a blow.

In addition, if we take into account that Apple has been integrating many functions that could be obtained with the Jailbreak, it seemed to lose sense. In fact, the creators of the jailbreak, little by little, were losing interest in expanding it to the general public.

We personally do not recommend jailbreaking devices

Until now, since, taking advantage of a vulnerability in iOS 12.4, the Jailbreak code for iOS 12.4 has been published and many users with a minimum of computer knowledge are taking the opportunity to install it on your iOS devices.

What is most striking is the vulnerability that allows Jailbreak And that vulnerability was covered with iOS 12.3 but, with iOS 12.4, it has remained no patching And this allows Jailbreaking iOS devices that have a processor lower than A12 Bionic

Cydia installed on an old iPhone

We personally do not recommend jailbreakingdevices. More than anything because, many of the functions that could previously make the Jailbreak attractive are integrated into the operating system of the iPhone, iOS.

If, despite this, you decide to do it on your device, you have to know that when doing so and when using a jailbroken device, you must take extreme precautions since the security and privacy of our device may be affected.

Hopefully, sooner rather than later, Apple will release a security update that fixes the bug and, once installed by updating the devices, this Jailbreak stop being available like everyone else is.
