Apple Releases iOS 12.4.1 to Fix iPhone Jailbreak Vulnerability

Apple has released iOS version 12.4.1 on 26 th August 2019, the first update since iOS 12.4. The latest update includes a patch for the jailbreak vulnerability recently discovered in 12.4. Apple has long had contempt for jailbreaking, so it's no surprise the company would release a patch for the vulnerability. It's unusual for this jailbreak to be so current, as it typically takes jailbreaks quite some time to break through each repetition of iOS. But it looks to be a case of Apple unintentionally un-patching a bug that allowed jailbreaking in iOS 12.2 versions, as indicated in the security release notes. The iOS 12.3 update patched it, but 12.4 took it back. If you have no intention of jailbreaking, you can update without worry. However, know that if your iPhone is running iOS 12.4 or lower at this time, you have an excellent opportunity to jailbreak your iPhone . Though, your experience will depend on the type of iPhone model you have. About Apple Securit...

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus vs. OnePlus 7 Pro

The battle between a Samsung flagship and a cheaper OnePlus alternative is a familiar one from the last few years, but with the Galaxy Note 10+ and OnePlus 7 Pro , they're both pricier handsets than usual. They're also both better-off with premium features than usual. The Note 10+ runs a cool thousand quid and comes with various improvements over the previous model, including a much sleeker design, enhanced S Pen stylus, and quite a bit more power packed within. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 7 Pro vaults the brand into the ultra-premium space with a nearly bezel-less Quad HD panel at a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, as well as a triple-camera setup and a top-end processor. Samsung released two different models of the Galaxy Note 10 this year, including one with a smaller screen for those that don’t want a huge phone. This puts the OnePlus 7 Pro right in the middle of both, making the choice even more difficult for potential buyers. Here’s what you need to know. Comparison Sa...

Apple Watch 5: Release Date & Advanced Features

Unlike the iPhone, Apple didn't chaos around with the Watch naming structure. Since the original was followed by the Apple Watch Series 1, the company has followed with sequential numbers every year. It is therefore highly likely we can expect the 2019 model of the Apple's smartwatch to be called the Apple Watch Series 5 , succeeding 2018's Apple Watch Series 4. Apple Watch Series 5 Price and Release date: Expected date: 10 September 2019 Apple typically holds its iPhone launch event in September of every year and the next iteration of the Watch is normally announced at the same time. This launch event normally takes place in the second week of September on a Tuesday. We're therefore placing our money on 10 September 2019, though we expect nothing to be confirmed until later this month - August 2019. The Series 4 was pricier than its predecessor at $399 for the non-LTE version (versus $349 for the Apple Watch Series 3 with GPS), because of its elec...

Google Pixel 4 : Release Date, Price and Rumours

For years now, Google has opted to release its Pixel lineup in the latter half of the year, after the usual roller coaster of smartphone releases from the first half of the year has died down. More specifically, we expect a Google Pixel 4 launch date sometime in early October based on past form, with it likely that Google will take the opportunity to launch a few other hardware options at the same time, such as the long-rumored Pixel Watch. Following the announcement, it's likely that the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL release date will be in early November, if past years are anything to go by.
