How to Jailbreak any iPhone with Unc0ver + Tips and Tricks

The Jailbreak is a method (similar in targets to rooting on Android) that allows break the closed environment that Apple imposes to its hardware and software ecosystem, and thus fully access the iOS operating system and install apps, themes or games outside of the official store, as well as other functions limited by default by the Cupertino company.

The golden age of Jailbreak It has already happened after the closure of the large app repositories, the “bolt” that Apple has put into the code in the latest versions of iOS and the fear of users of losing support since Apple cited at the time that “It could void the warranty.” At this point it must be clarified that these techniques are perfectly legal under the norm Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Aspects of the security have also influenced the drop in the use of Jailbreak. Not for this directly, but because a lot of malware has crept into the alternative platforms used to install applications. This does not mean that this method is not yet used by many users who want to “unlock” their iPhones and the tool that we bring you today allows it.

Unc0ver is surely the most advanced thing to do Jailbreak. The new 6.0 update was released last weekend and its most outstanding feature is the expansion of its compatibility to use in terminals running from iOS 11.0 to iOS 14.3.

Unc0ver’s lead developer, the well-known Pwn20wnd, has reported that “Wrote their own exploit for optimal speed and stability” in the hack. The exploit exploits a known kernel privilege escalation security vulnerability that Apple fixed in the latest version of iOS, 14.4.

In case you are not into these techniques, the Jailbreak involves privilege escalation that works by exploiting security flaws in iOS to grant users access to root and full control over your devices. By doing so, you allow users to remove software restrictions imposed by Apple.

Some security researchers consider that Apple “Should allow jailbreak without having to run these exploits” that ultimately take advantage of security vulnerabilities, although it must be clarified that the security of the devices remains intact. Of course, once we have obtained root access, in addition to the possibility of installing alternative software, we will have to be extremely careful against malware.
