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.

Though, your experience will depend on the type of iPhone model you have. About Apple Securit...
