iOS 12 jailbreaks – Developers Are Making Progress

Some time ago it used to be a rage to liberate iOS devices from the walled garden of Apple to enjoy a bunch of new features. But it is increasingly difficult to jailbreak their devices because the Cupertino company does not like it when this happens. In addition to this, it also added dozens of features to iOS that they have seen people who jailbroke their iOS devices enjoyed. This way, people would have fewer reasons to liberate their device. Many iPad and iPhone users are concerned about security, so they gave about jailbreaking. However, there is still a big group of enthusiasts waiting to jailbreak iOS 12 devices.

Developers are making progress towards iOS 12 jailbreak

Hacker and developers have been working on iOS 12 jailbreaks since the new software was rolled out by the Cupertino company last year. However, there is still no full-fledged public iOS  12 jailbreak available. After the iOS 12.1.3 was released to the public by Apple a few days ago, some developers have dropped hints that the jailbreak for iOS 12.1.2 is being pulled together.

If you want to liberate your device and have not upgraded to iOS 12.1.3 yet, you should take into consideration keeping it this way. However, you can still downgrade to the 12.1.2 before Apples stops signing it because it can do that anytime, as well as other older firmware.

According to a developer well known within the jailbreak community, Brandon Azad, you should “keep an A12 research device on iOS 12.1.2” if you are interested in bootstrapping your iOS kernel security.  Min ‘Spark’ Zheng, an Alibaba security researcher, responded to Brandon’s tweet saying he is looking forward to seeing iOS 12 JB. Many vulnerabilities and bugs were discovered by Zheng in iOS software in the past.

WhatsApp 2.19.17 Update Came Out With Improved Group Calls Feature

WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app at the moment. But the success of WhatsApp should be granted to the devs behind the application, who are always updating WhatsApp with new functions and content to make the users stick with the app. Group calls are not new to WhatsApp now, but the developers have been improving this functionality since it first rolled out. Now, WhatsApp 2.19.17 update came out with an improved group calls feature.

WhatsApp emerged on Android in 2010, about one year after the initial launch on iOS, in 2009. Designed by two former Yahoo employees, WhatsApp enjoyed a little success on both Android and iOS. In 2014, one year after the instant messaging app became free to use and totaled more than 200 million active users, Facebook purchased WhatsApp from its producers and turned it into the great success it is nowadays.

WhatsApp 2.19.17 Update Came Out With Improved Group Calls Feature

In May 2018, WhatsApp introduced group calls, a function that eventually rolled out to every user of the instant messaging app in July of the same year. However, many users either don’t know it exists in WhatsApp or are not interested in the feature. But that is not stopping the WhatsApp team to update the functionality and add more features to it.

The new WhatsApp 2.19.17 launched a couple of days ago (you can find it on APK Mirror) and already began to also roll out on Google Play Store for some users, depending on their devices. The WhatsApp 2.19.17 update brings several improvements under the hood, but also a new group calls feature. Now, WhatsApp shows a call button on the top right of all group chats. “Just tap the call button in groups or select ‘New group call’ when starting a new call in the calls tab. Group calls support up to 4 participants,” says the official WhatsApp 2.19.17 release notes.

Aptoide 9.6.2.0 Is Available For Download With New Changes

Aptoide is the best Google Play Store alternative out there. It is a reliable and trustworthy app store with lots of applications you can download and install. The best part of Aptoide, however, is that it is also boasting Android apps that you’ll never find on Google Play Store for whatever reasons. Now, Aptoide 9.6.2.0 is available for download, and it comes with new changes.

Android smartphone users are commonly turning to Google Play Store to download and install apps only because the official Google’s app store comes pre-installed on Android-based devices. However, there are many Android apps that we can’t find on Google Play Store, so we have to rely on third-party app stores for Android. Aptoide is by far the most popular Google Play Store alternative, and it is also a trustworthy app store.

With Aptoide, you can find and install millions of apps, many of which are not available on Google’s app store, such as Vidmate, Lucky Patcher, and many more.

Aptoide 9.6.2.0 Is Available For Download With New Changes

In short, Aptoide allows users to download as many apps as they want for free, access applications that are not available on Google Play Store, install paid apps without paying a dime, and access to the faster Aptoid Lite version, among many other features. Now, Aptoide 9.6.2.0 is available for download with some new changes.

While Aptoide 9.6.2.0 is not the only third-party app store for Android, it is the best Google Play Store alternative and the most trustworthy one. The devs behind the apps are always checking the posted apps for viruses and malicious content, so you can safely download and install any app you can find on Aptoide.

As for the Aptoide 9.6.2.0, the new version comes with some minor improvements in stability and performance, as well as several bug fixes to enhance user experience with the app.

Google Pixel 4 known as Google Coral comes as the most Anticipated Smartphone This Year

The Google Pixel 4 is one of the highly anticipated smartphones this year which offers all the reasons why people are so excited when a new leak or rumor about this device comes to light.

This time around we come with some new details. A mysterious Google device codenamed “Coral” looks to be equipped with the Snapdragon 855 chip, Qualcomm’s latest creation. There is more information that Geekbench provided, and reports think that this is the Pixel 4.

The Geekbench Listing Of The Google “Coral”

Based on information provided by reports,  an unknown Google device was featured at a Geekbench listing which was nicknamed Coral. According to the listing, after the single-core test, this device scored 3,296 points and 9,235 on the multi-core test. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 855 chip, runs on Android Q and comes with 6GB of RAM.

Is It Really The Google Pixel 4?

According to 91mobiles, even though speculations suggest that this might actually be the Google Chromebook, that can’t be possible because it comes pre-loaded with ChromeOS. With that being said, it can either be the Pixel 4 or a prototype.

Could It Be Perhaps The Pixel 3 Lite?

We can’t actually say that it is not, but we can at least hope that the Google “Coral” is not the Pixel 3 Lite. The reasons behind this affirmation are that the Pixel 3 Lite will come with a Snapdragon 670 chip and will feature  4GB of RAM.

What do you think about these assumptions? Do you think Google Coral is the Pixel 4? If this is true, what do you think about its features? Is this phone worth such a big waiting period or maybe we should be expecting more?

iPhone SE2 Release Date Soon – Why Do We Believe That?

Many smartphone manufacturers are dealing with a worldwide problem. The sales of smartphones began to fall, and the most affected ones are the top-end models. Even Apple is worried about the challenging situation with its trio of iPhones released last year in autumn. So the ground the company lost will be regained, will the go back to the iPhone SE and launch a second version? You can offer your answer, but some pointers justify this argument.

Apple Put up the Old iPhone SE for Sale and Got Sold

According to some news report from the past week, the US site of Apple put up on sale different models of the old iPhone SE offering discounts varying from $100 to $200. If we believe these reports, the phones were taken off the display on the site because the units offered got sold quickly. With that being said, this event can give Apple a clue that people want a second version of the iPhone SE.

iPhone XR Has Not Measured Up

When the iPhone SE was launched, it was considered a budget iPhone, just like the iPhone XR from last year. Apple should take into consideration the fact that they tried to offer the public another budget iPhone with a larger screen, but this tactic was not successful. The iPhone XR sold the best in markets such as India and China, but that is not enough. This is proof that even though Apple offers a budget iPhone with a bigger screen, its sales will still not grow. The iPhone SE, at the price of $300 to $350, was exactly what people were waiting for and Apple should offer again.

Do you think Apple will listen to its fans’ wishes and offer them a second version of the iPhone SE?
