The @pwn20wnd team has finally released, after working on its development for months, the 31 unc0ver 3.0.0. With that being said, it means that you can finally install the  unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 12 – iOS 12.1.2 on your compatible iOS device. One great advantage would be that it offers Substrate and Cydia compatibility. Unfortunately only if you are an owner of an iPhone X, iPhone 8 or iPhone 7 you can use this jailbreak tool as it only supports A8X-A11 powered iOS devices.

If keeping an eye on the news is part of your to-do list, it means that you already know that A12 support will also be added for iOS devices powered by this processor in the unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 12 – iOS 12.1.2. Unfortunately, at the moment, only users of A8X through A11 chips-powered iOS devices can benefit from this tool.

As we mentioned previously in this article, you now have the possibility to download the latest IPA of unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 12 – iOS 12.1.2. It ensures a stable jailbreak experience thanks to its Substrate and Cydia support. The fluidity and stability of the jailbreak look like what the team is mostly focused on this time around. The unc0ver jailbreak for iOS 12 – iOS 12.1.2 will soon be extended to additional devices so keep checking that news.

This tool is only available in the beta version, but it does not mean you can’t take advantage of what it offers. If your iOS device is compatible with it, you can jailbreak it using this tool. However, you should downgrade to the iOS 12.1.1 beta 3 in case you have the latest firmware from Apple on your device. Otherwise, it will not work the way you expect it to.

Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti: What Are The Improvements That We Will See?

Nvidia is already a well-known name and the company has launched numerous successful products. Nonetheless, not all of them are instant hits. For example, the new RTX Turing family did not bring considerable improvements. The sales for the RTX 2070 and 2080 were not as good as expected.

However, Nvidia still has another chance. The GTA 1660 might be the product that we expected all along. It appears that the GTX 1660 managed to bring all the enhancements that were needed all along. Let’s discuss this product a bit more.

The GTX 1660

According to various reports, the GTX 1660 Ti managed to be a bridge between the GTX 1060 and the RTX 2060. The product did come with a price increase, especially combined with the price of the previous release. The 1060 debuted at $249, while the actual launch price is $279.

If we take a closer look at the card review, it becomes quite clear that this is the best Turing GPU that Nvidia has always launched. There is also a significant performance improvement that manages to justify the price increase.

The GTA 1660 Ti has a Turing (TU116) GPU Architecture. It also has 1536 GOU ores and no tensor cores and no RT cores. However, there are 120 texture units and 48 render outputs. The memory bus width is 192-bit and the memory bandwidth is 288 GB/s. The GTA 1660 Ti has a 6 GB memory capacity.

If we compare Turing and Pascal, and we take a look at GTX 1660 Ti versus GTX 1060 6 GB, there is a 36% relative performance increase. There is also a price increase, but as we already mentioned before, it is justified.

Samsung Galaxy A7 2018 Available with Android Pie Beta and New Changes

In recent years, India has become a significant market for smartphone manufacturers.  Many Indians are now looking forward to purchasing their first smartphone and statistics show that almost 95% of the customers will buy a device that costs $500 or less.  The trend led to the release of several mid-range smartphones that are specifically designed for the country.

Samsung’s Galaxy A and Galaxy J series are quite popular in India, and the renowned smartphone manufacturer is constantly pushing new updates which aim to make the devices even better.

Samsung Members who visit the official forums were able to spot screenshots of an OTA notification that invites users to download a beta version of the latest One UI updated which is built on top of Android Pie.

The popular mid-range device was released in September 2018, and its features made it a quick hit. The spec sheet includes the mighty Exynos 7885 system-on-chip clocked at 2,2 GHz and more than able to tackle everything you attempt to run, including demanding games. Potential buyers have the option to pick between either 4 or 6GB of RAM. The FHD+ AMOLED Infinity Display is a joy to look at, delivering the impressive image. A triple camera system provides great pictures, and videos and the plentiful 3,300 mAh will keep your device running through a full day of use. The only flaw that could be called out is the decision to opt for a microUSB port instead of the more modern USB-C.

The OTA changelog featured in the screenshot notes that the update will also include the latest February security update.  The One UI is a revamped user interface which aims to replace the already aging Samsung Experience skin introduced with the Samsung Galaxy S7.

Those that wish to download the update are advised to use a reliable internet connection since the beta built measures 1.3 GB. Beta builds are available after you open the Samsung Members app and sign-in. Keep in mind that the version may be unstable and some bugs may appear.
