00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.839
i've said this before even as an Android user there's no denying that iOS has got

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:11.840
a lot going for it the issue for me is that no matter how many times i try to

00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:17.600
switch to it though i always find a couple of tiny things that apple refuses

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:21.680
to allow for whatever convoluted reason and it kind of ruins the experience for

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:25.760
me like in the control center a menu meant to give you quick access to common

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:30.880
settings you see the wi-fi and bluetooth toggles they don't even turn off their

00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:35.440
respective radios anymore the toggle just closes any active connections until

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:39.040
apple deems that they should be turned back on and then how about the

00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:45.039
unremovable notification shade on the lock screen that requires you to swipe

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:49.280
up every time you unlock the phone with face id instead of just dropping you on

00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:55.440
the home screen which is probably where you want to be it's little things like this that drive

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:58.640
me up the wall so when i saw the epic

00:00:55.440 --> 00:01:01.359
new jailbreak released for iOS 13.5 with

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:06.240
support for every iphone model that supports that version of iOS

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:11.119
i figured it was finally time after all these years to take jailbreaking out for

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:15.119
a spin speaking of spin spin open your wallet for a lot less with our sponsor

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.960
ting why pay for things you don't need or even use ting wants to help you with

00:01:17.119 --> 00:01:25.080
that by getting you to pay for only the mobile data you use check it out at the

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:25.080
link below to find out more

00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:37.439
going from now all the way back to the early days of iOS jailbreaking the main

00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:41.840
reason people did it was to add or modify functionality that either wasn't

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:47.520
present in iOS or that apple didn't allow or want for example features like

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:52.479
the control center touch gestures and dark mode already existed as jailbreak

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:55.920
tweaks long before apple ever implemented them officially then there's

00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:59.280
the people who jailbroke their devices to remove carrier restrictions remember

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:03.840
when you had to pay for mobile data tethering or to unlock a device so it

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:08.959
could be used with a different carrier another huge reason people jailbreak are

00:02:06.320 --> 00:02:13.200
aesthetics and these kinds of mods are all over the place ranging from themes

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:18.080
like viola which reskins your menus and icons to a beautified control center

00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:22.480
with tweaks like prism or even apple watch style status icons on the lock

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:26.560
screen with a tweet called complications if you're like me and you prefer less

00:02:24.480 --> 00:02:30.640
rather than more there's simple ls which can remove all the clutter from your

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:35.599
lock screen and then there's the taboo side of jailbreaking piracy many people

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.640
jailbreak their devices to get paid apps or services for free or to cheat in

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:45.920
mobile games now all this is super cool but

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.040
jailbreaking has been on the decline for many years due to slow jailbreak

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:54.560
releases for new os's instability and apple simply implementing many of the

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:58.879
features that people originally jailbroke their devices to get however

00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:03.599
maybe because apple has been kind of sitting on their thumbs when it comes to iOS features for the last couple of

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:09.280
years things have been picking up again with speedy stable and easy jailbreaks

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:13.360
from the team behind the latest exploit uncover so how do you do it

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:16.640
first you'll need a compatible device you can see the full list of tested

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:20.800
devices over on uncover site but essentially every modern iphone is

00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:25.440
supported all the way from iOS 11 to 13.5 please note by the way guys as of

00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:30.319
the day we filmed this video apple released iOS 13.5.1

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:34.560
which patches this jailbreak if you're not already on 13.5 and you want to be

00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:39.519
you can still update by downloading the update file from the link in the description and then shift-clicking the

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.360
update button in itunes note though that apple may stop signing

00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:49.599
this version at any time making it impossible to update to it later if

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:50.280
you're already on iOS 13.5 do not update

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.959
to 13.5.1 or you will lose your ability to

00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:58.080
jailbreak all right with that out of the way we're going to assume that you're

00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:01.519
jailbreaking from a Windows computer but if you're on mac the process is

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:04.879
essentially the same so with the guidance from the uncover website and

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:09.040
the links below you should be able to jailbreak without issue start by

00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:12.640
downloading itunes and icloud from apple's website if you have the

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:16.560
microsoft store versions of them you're going to have to uninstall those grab

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:19.840
the win32 versions and then give yourself one of these

00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:24.240
forever touching the microsoft store in the first place next head over to the

00:04:21.919 --> 00:04:29.280
uncover site and download and install alt server we're going to use this

00:04:26.320 --> 00:04:33.040
software to self sign and then side load both the alt store and the uncover

00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.759
jailbreak apps once it's installed plug in your iphone

00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:41.919
trust the pc that you're plugged into and select your device under install alt

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:46.240
store in the alt server menu in your taskbar enter your apple id to authorize

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:50.800
the install and within a few seconds you should see it on your iOS home screen

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:55.199
now because this is what apple deems a self-signed app you'll need to navigate

00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:59.040
into the device settings and authorize the app before you can run it

00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:03.360
once it's running head over to the uncover jailbreak site on your phone and

00:05:01.039 --> 00:05:07.199
click the open an alt store button if you're prompted re-enter your apple id

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:11.919
then alt store will install the uncover jailbreak app now you might notice

00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:17.120
there's an expiry date on the apps this is because you self-signed the apps

00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:21.600
with your own apple id and without an apple developer subscription the longest

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:25.840
you can sign an app is for seven days don't worry though because the alt store

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:30.080
guys thought of this so if you keep alt server running on your pc or mac the

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.479
store app will actually phone home to your system when you're on the same

00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:38.080
network to renew those certifications if you do end up away from home for a while

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:42.479
though it's possible you might not get the automatic renewal meaning that if

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.479
your phone dies or is hard rebooted after that seven day period you might

00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:51.120
have to reflash the apps or go without a jailbreak for a few days all right

00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:55.840
disclaimer over now it's time to open up the uncover app and hit jailbreak

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:59.840
it'll do some stuff and then prompt you for a reboot click ok and then once the

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:04.639
device is booted again open uncover hit jailbreak again and it will reboot in a

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:10.160
jailbroken state with a brand new app called cydia that's it your jailbroken

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:12.440
cydia is what's known as a package manager

00:06:11.440 --> 00:06:16.720
kind of like the underwear on ltteststore.com it handles installing

00:06:15.039 --> 00:06:20.800
and updating any tweaks and themes that you want to install and it's kind of

00:06:18.400 --> 00:06:23.600
like the app store but for jailbreak stuff

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.759
let's start with modding our device and fixing some of those issues that i've

00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:31.919
been having with iOS it's worth noting that while cydia ships with lots of

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:36.479
default repositories many of the popular tweaks and themes are hosted on

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:40.720
third-party repos like packx or spark dev so we're going to add those first as

00:06:38.880 --> 00:06:45.360
those hold the downloads for the tweaks that i wanted to add first i installed

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:49.280
snowboard which is a theming engine which allows you to actually apply the

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.800
viola theme that i mentioned earlier i then proceeded to install a bunch of

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:56.560
other tweaks namely swipe selection which re-adds that keyboard swiping to

00:06:55.039 --> 00:07:01.199
navigate text thing that was removed when 3d touch died auto unlock x which

00:06:59.280 --> 00:07:06.080
allows us to skip the notification shade on unlock digital battery 13 to show the

00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:10.800
battery percentage in the status bar and prism to beautify and add haptic

00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:14.639
feedback to the iOS control center oh and since apple maps sucks the big one

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:20.560
we changed the default to google maps with a tweet called maps opener and the

00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:23.520
crazy part is that that is just the tip

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.720
of the iceberg if you have a grievance with iOS there is probably one of the

00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:33.120
hundreds of other super useful quality of life improving tweaks that are out

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:36.880
there that is going to help you so we've included a link to a reddit post that

00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:40.800

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:38.959
maybe check out our video where we compared uh rooting an old Android phone

00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:40.560
versus buying a used iphone

00:08:38.959 --> 00:08:46.480
people got mad about some aspects of that video but i still thought it was good

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:52.160
not fair comparison we never said it was and we never like glorified Android

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.160
rooting it's like kind of messy
