A few days ago, we informed you in our magazine about a rather remarkable potential problem Applu. Developer and hacker axi0mX stated on his Twitter that he had managed to hack the operating system iOS find a bug that has not been fixed for several years, which can be used to hack any iPhone from the iPhone 4S to iPhone X to upload a jailbreak. It can even become permanent on the device, so you can't remove it in any way and it won't be deleted even after updating the operating system iOSIt should be noted that the jailbreak is fully functional even on the latest version. iOS 13.1.1.

Axi0mX continues to share information about the serious security flaw on his Twitter. In one of the last tweets reports that he managed to hack the iPhone X and boot it into verbose mode, which can display all information about drivers and software when the system starts. Verbose mode could only be invoked in previous versions of the jailbreak by heavily modifying the operating system kernel iOSAxi0mX further states that the entire jailbreak process in his case took two seconds after iPhone X into DFU mode. To prevent people from questioning this claim, axi0mX added a video to the tweet, which you can view on his Twitter, which you can access via the link above.

The "checkm8" error, as axi0mX himself called it, is said to be unfixable because it is not a software error, but a hardware error. Apple therefore, it cannot issue a patching system update to fix the bug. If the Apple company wanted to get rid of the bug, they would have to recall all these devices and repair them by replacing the faulty hardware - as you can already guess, this procedure is completely unrealistic. So users who are in favor of jailbreaking can slowly start celebrating. Maybe a new era is coming, in which we will once again go back a few years, when jailbreaking iPhones was real and completely common.
And maybe we'll reach Android's level with piracy. Pro an irresistibly tempting prospect for developers.
a lot of people want to jailbreak for editing, not for piracy
The usual excuse. 99% want it because of piracy, or more precisely, stealing apps.
Well, leave the piracy alone, they will buy a new phone in a year or two where it won't work anymore and after they get used to those appI think they will even buy them. Every once in a while, you'll find that a few euros for a few apps is not a problem and it's easier than constantly pirating and uploading new versions manually.
Putting a jailbreak in a phone in which I have a payment card, for example, doesn't seem very happy to me... I don't know how it is today, but in the olden days, as far as I know, there was a problem with some default password that made all jailbroken phones attackable using "infected" applications (whether from Warez or from Cydia - or whatever it was called).
Password - "alpine"
A person after JB had to go through terminal change the password and the problem was solved.
As the user HeXXX wrote, only a madman would put some Chinese or Russian spy SW on a mobile phone, where he would have his security data. Another situation is if I'm a geek and I have it "for fooling around" or I want to steal apps.
I just didn't write anything about Russians or Chinese... It doesn't matter if your money or data is stolen by a Russian, Chinese, Pole, Romanian, American, ...
Mike biker probably watches a lot of action movies
That the "bug" would otherwise be some kind of permanent primary backdoor for USgov of all kinds? :D
Of course according to Apple TOTALLY neophyte ;)
I mainly want to downgrade to something older. iOS and not suffer from the bloat they put me through with every new version
