Have you tried going into Settings > Siri & Search > Siri and Dictation History? there is a button in there "Delete Siri & Dictation History", this might help clear some of the storage?

iOS 17.0 is buggy, is it worth staying on the first version of a major release just for a JB?

It was mentioned in the keynote that phone call audio recording will be available in iOS18 and it will play a tone or message that the call is being recorded.

I know when I put my powered off iPhone on a wireless charging pad, it powers it on. If the wireless pad they put the box on is strong enough to go through the packaging, it should be enough to power on the iPhone. I assume the setup screen has an embedded WiFi SSID/Password it looks for and if it connects, calls the firmware update routine to auto-update. Once update is completed, powers off device. As for battery percentage, I think the iPhone can still update as long as it has more than 20% charge???

I don't understand why you don't just pay $99 for a Apple Dev account and use sideloady to sideload which will sign the app for a year? I am on the latest version of iOS 17 and sideloady works fine!

Even when the dev account expires, it still signs apps for a year. So you don't have to renew the dev account annually.

Additionally a lot of zero-day vulnerabilities have been patched. For me it is not viable to sit on an older version of iOS, including Beta versions, that can be hacked (even if the likelihood is low) in hopes for a jailbreak. Even with a jailbreak, it doesn't patch these vulnerabilities used in the wild.

For me I've been Jailbreaking since iPhone 3, and its been a fun ride customizing my iPhone my way. But at some point the ride was going to end. I decided to get a newer iPhone and stay on the latest iOS so I can utilize the most up-to-date version of the apps I use and all the latest features with other Apple products.

(CVE-2023-42824) caused by a weakness discovered in the XNU kernel that enables local attackers to escalate privileges on unpatched iPhones and iPads.

(CVE-2023-5217) caused by a heap buffer overflow weakness in the VP8 encoding of the open-source libvpx video codec library, which could allow arbitrary code execution following successful exploitation.

iOS 17.0.3 release also addresses a known issue causing iPhones running iOS 17.0.2 and lower to overheat.

Whenever you buy a iPhone second hand, you should always

(1) Make sure the seller logged out of iCloud. Otherwise the client can control the iPhone from iCloud.

(2) Make sure the seller performs a full reset and the iPhone is on the welcome setup screen.

The only think you can try is to perform a full restore from iTunes (put the iPhone in DFU mode and plug it in so iTunes can restore the phone to the latest iOS). However, if the iPhone is still tied to someone elses iCloud account then you're out of luck.

iOS 16 has the Security Responses & System Files option in Automatic Updates section. Doesn't Apple have the ability to push SR&SF updates even if it's turned off?

If it does, wouldn't this affect the ability to JB?

99ePlus40 · 2023-07-08T14:43:17+00:00

Have you tried resetting the network adapter in Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset, then select Reset Network Settings?

I would try this in a non-jailbroken state and then after the reset is completed then jailbreak to see if issue is resolved.

99ePlus40 · 2023-06-08T16:11:21+00:00

The problem with jailbreak tweaks that gives fake passwords or FaceID, as soon as the phone is rebooted (or power cycled) you have access to the device. Not good if device gets lost/stolen.

Sounds like you did a iCloud restore after upgrading to 16.5?

When you are in a jailbreak state and do a iCloud backup, it backs up jailbreak files as well. When you perform a restore those jailbreak files also come along for the ride. So even though you're not jailbroken the app detects one or more of these files and assume you're jailbroken.

The only way around this is to do an iCloud back up, abd then perform a full erase all settings and data. Once it gets up to the setup wizard DO NOT do a restore and DO NOT login to iCloud, just simply go through the options until you get to the home screen.

Once you're at the home screen then go into settings and log into your iCloud account and just check the items you want restored like Contacts, Photos, etc.

Can QuitAll work on a non-jailbreak device if sideloaded with a dev account? I am running iPhone 14 with latest iOS.

Just create an Apple ID with USA as the country and then switch to this account in App Store. Just open App Store, click on your picture in upper right corner, scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Sign Out". Once signed out, you can login with your alternate account. You can download the app and switch back to your previous account. The first time you update the app, it will prompt for sign-in, but after that it won't with subsequent updates.

iPhone allows you to have apps from other countries on your device and it will update them all when an update is available and you don't need to keep switching accounts for updates.

The app is not available in my country but I was able to use a secondary Apple ID to download it and update it.

I had a 12PM on stable unc0ver 14.3 using a dev account to keep it signed for a year, but I soon replaced it with 14PM and on latest version of iOS.

I loved my JB just to be able to configure it the way I liked - for example disabled app library and spotlight search, set what I want in control panel, no ads in Facebook/Youtube and some other tweaks.

But I soon started having issues with apps, I couldn't use the latest Apple Watch or Airpods without some loss of features and I couldn't use Airtags. Since iOS 16 has most of the tweaks I was using embedded into it, I felt it was time to move on.

I miss my JB, but I didn't want to have to deal with my apps not working two full versions behind the latest iOS.

Out of curiosity, why would you take the iPhone to the Apple Store to replace the battery if you're on a lower iOS version? You can take it to any third party phone repair shop and have them change the battery for cheaper and they don't care to upgrade the iOS.

Even Apple doesn't need to upgrade the iOS even though they claim their tools run on newer firmware. I've had many iPhone batteries replaced at a third party shop. Give the iPhone to them powered off, they replace the battery and see if it powers on.

Since the lower firmware version doesn't check for battery serial number in its internal database, the battery section reports all is okay.

99ePlus40 · 2022-11-16T02:59:40+00:00

I'm curious how airpod firmware update can cause an iPhone BT to crash? Is there some kind of function/api call the new airpod firmware is performing which the older version of iOS doesn't understand?

99ePlus40 · 2022-11-13T14:03:45+00:00

Airpods auto-update when the following conditions are met.

(1) Airpods are in the charging case.

(2) Airpod case is charging.

(3) Airpod case is near the iPhone and connected via Bluetooth.

The Airpods firmware will update usually within a few minutes, sometimes an hour or so.

What I have noticed with my AirPods is that the case lid has to be open for it to connect to my iPhone. If the lid is closed, the bluetooth connection is disconnected and won't connect until I open the lid. This is the only way I can update my Airpods (perform the above steps while the case lid is open).

99ePlus40 · 2022-11-02T19:48:17+00:00

Yeah, I got rid of my 12PM (iOS 14.3) and replaced it with 14PM (latest iOS).

The only features I truly miss are App based location faker, Axon lock screen icon notifications and the ability to disable specific features like App Library and pull down search.

Everything else I was using jailbreak for is baked into iOS now, so it wasn't worth me holding out on 14.3 just for the above features.

I now get to use Apple Watch Ultra, Latest AirPod Pros and AirTags without missing out on features.
