Important stuff from this week


iOS 16 PPL bypass shown off

While a release seems highly unlikely, talented hacker and security researcher @pattern_f_ showed off what appears to be a working PPL bypass for iOS 16 devices.


A PPL bypass is the final remaining piece required to make an iOS & iPadOS 16 jailbreak possible since we already have the kfd kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 16.0-16.5 and 16.6 beta 1.


You can learn more about the PPL bypass in our full news post.


DelayOTA to iOS 17.0 no longer possible

The last chance to DelayOTA update to iOS & iPadOS 17.0 was Tuesday of this past week, which obviously came and went.


With the upgrade method no longer working, it is no longer possible to upgrade from an older firmware to a newer firmware supported by TrollStore 2.
