Netflix v11.12.0 for iOS Is Available With New Features

New in the popular Netflix streaming service, the Netflix App v11.12.0 for iOS (iPhone and iPad) arrived on App Store with several updates, improving the end-user experience with the application. After a recent update that allowed compatibility with the new iPad Pro 2018 and its rounded screen, here comes a new version that is aimed at all users, as the in-app navigation improves.

Netflix is the most popular streaming service out there, and the company is frequently updating its apps for Android and iOS. Now, it’s the turn for iOS-based Netflix App to upgrade to the new v11.12.0 version which enhances the in-app controls and navigation to make the users experience the best.

Since recently when the new Netflix v11.12.0  for iOS rolled out, the famous streaming service is bringing a new video player to iPhone and iPad users, with a focus on the new iPad Pro 2018 models. That’s what Netflix has thought to offer via its official application update.

Netflix v11.12.0 for iOS Is Available With New Features

For example, there are new Front and Rear buttons for easy access to a scene, while the controls have generally been enlarged. Also, the almost unobservable new switch, the “Next episode” one, is more than welcomed, as we no longer have to leave the screen we’re on, to select the list of available episodes of a TV series on Netflix app for iOS.

“The new 10-second Front and Rear buttons provide easy access to a specific scene. Tip: Touch the left or right side of the screen twice to fast-forward or rewind in the program currently playing. Some controls have been enlarged for added convenience, such as Play/Pause, with thumbnails that allow you to select an episode or activate subtitles and audio quickly. Tap the new “Next episode” button to access it even faster,” the Netflix v11.12.0 for iOS release note reads.

iOS 12.1 Jailbreak Available for the New iPhones

Jailbreaking used to be essential for iOS users, but as iPhones evolved and Apple improved its security, jailbreak began to become impossible to realize. For a long period of time developers were not able to jailbreak the latest iOS versions. However, at one point iOS 10 was finally cracked, and it seems that the jailbreaking community has not stopped since.

Recently we received some major news. It appears that developers managed to crack the latest iOS version, iOS 12.1, on the latest iPhone released, iPhone XS Max. This is something that appeared impossible just a couple of weeks ago.

iOS 12.1 jailbreak

Liang Chen, a Tencent KeenLab researcher was the one who managed to crack iPhone XS Max on iOS 12.1. He made the big announcement on Twitter, giving jailbreak fans hope once again. Nonetheless, if you are hoping to use this jailbreak for this device, you shouldn’t celebrate the news already.

We don’t know for sure whether Liang Chen is going to make the jailbreak available for the public. There are many researchers who decide not to share their codes with the public. In fact, releasing them to the public is not the most profitable option for them. They can choose to report the vulnerabilities they found to Apple, or they can sell the codes to third-party developers.

What does jailbreak do?

Even if Chen does not release his jailbreak, it is proof that it is possible to crack iPhone XS Max on iOS 12.1, which means that we might get the jailbreak in the future. You can jailbreak your phone if you want to remove all the limitations set by Apple. With jailbreak you can use features which you can’t get otherwise, and you can customise your device any way you want to.

How to Download Cydia for Mac, Linux and Windows

As we all already know, Cydia Impactor is an app that allows its clients to install apps in the IPA format for iOS and apk for Android devices. This process is called sideloading.

What are the features of the Cydia Impactor?

We’ve already mentioned sideloading. You can also use it to download third-party apps, even a semi-tethered jailbreak tool. Using this app, you can also root your Android device. It has features for both iOS devices and Android so that it can be used interchangeably.

What is the function of the Cydia Impactor?

Many people use their smartphones to arrange their daily tasks. So they will make the most out of apps – and many good apps are not on the Google Play Store or App Store. Third-party apps are not there for you to download due to security reasons. However, if you still want to download some of them, there are many tools – Cydia is one of them.

Download it for Mac

This is also how you download it for Windows and Linux

After you download it, click on install. After you clicked the button, a pop-up will appear. Then you need to select the third-party trust app for Mac. A startup screen will show up. Follow the instructions written there, then click on finish. After that, you’ll have Cydia Impactor installed on your Mac.

Be cautious

IPA files mean you’ll only download them on iOS. So don’t try to find a way to download it for Android, because it will not work – IPA files don’t work on Android. Also, never run the Cydia Impactor app as an administrator. If you do this, you’ll stop features of the Windows to work properly, especially if we’re talking about Windows 10.

When Do We Get an iOS 12.0.1 Jailbreak?

We’re still here – all the people that waited for the iOS 12 jailbreak tool for months (we still do), but there’s no sign on it anywhere. However, this does not mean that the developers are not interested in it. Apple introduced us to the iOS 12 software and the A12 Bionic chip, so it’s much harder than before actually to jailbreak iPads or iPhones. One of the developers found and made the most out of an iOS 12.0.1 WebKit RCE bug that can be the basis of a new iOS 12.0.1 jailbreak somewhere in the future.

Is it really going to happen?

A Korean user called Ahn Ki Chan posted on Twitter that the developer named Kudima, also known as BigD got a WebKit RCE to exploit to the GitHub repository. This exploit works with 12.0.1, which means that there’s still a little hope that there will be an iOS 12.1.0 jailbreak. It also makes us understand that Apple patched the bug in the iOS 12.1, which was recently released and which came with brand new features and fixed issues – they finally solved Group FaceTime.

In the tweet, Chan said that Kudima submitted another Webkit RCE exploit to the repository and that he wrote the whole exploit together with a very detailed annotation, which can face iOS 12.0.1.

Kudima is very popular in the jailbreaking community. There’s another security researcher that’s quite known, that’s named Niklas B, who also praised Kudima, saying that the annotations and exploits are useful. In August, Kudima had submitted an annotated WebKit info leak exploit, that was meant for the iOS 11.4.1. The newest exploit given to us by the BigD is one step forward into the long journey that we have to deal with to get a released public iOS 12.0.1 jailbreak.
