14 DAY TRIAL // Apple released iOS 13.5 only a few hours ago, but the team working on the unc0ver jailbreak tool claim they can already unlock this OS version regardless of the device running it.
In other words, using their software, you should be able to jailbreak pretty much any device, including all iPhone models, running even the just-launched iOS 13.5.
The unc0ver Team announced in a tweet today that unc0ver 5.0 will be the one that will include support for iOS 13.5, and this one is going to be released soon.
“We are going to release #unc0ver 5.0.0 with support for every signed iOS version on every device using a 0day kernel vulnerability from @Pwn20wnd,” they said on Twitter.
No other specifics were provided, but the “very soon” reference is a clear sign we’re very close to getting our hands on the very first iOS 13.5 jailbreak.
All iPhones supported
The official unc0ver website indicates that the jailbreak tool will work on all devices running iOS 11 to 13.5, and right now, the jailbreak is still in testing stage. However, the progress of these “final stability tests” has already reached 90%, which means we’re very close to the moment version 5.0 will go live for everyone.
The team claims they tested the jailbreak solution on iOS 13.5 running on iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone SE 2020, iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone 7.
Jailbreaking an iPhone is pretty much the only way to get rid of Apple’s walled garden and remove some of the restrictions the company has put in place. A jailbroken iPhone can thus get access to lots of new customizations and apps that are otherwise blocked by Apple by default due to what the company has always described as security reasons.
