Apple Accidentally Unpatches Vulnerability, Leading to New iOS 12.4 Jailbreak

Honest question... do people still really jailbreak like that? Like, how big is the jailbreak community now?

I love questions like that. Yeah, the community is quite big, the jailbreak subreddit has over 300k subscribers and after last couple of releases it seems to be gathering some popularity.

Stock iOS 12 is great, but jailbreaking it is a no-brainer for me, especially when we can jailbreak the newest and signed version (which is a very rare opportunity)
I can tell you why I jailbreak all my iOS devices (SE and two X's)

- And hundreds of small things

Jailbreaking is not only about some themes, you can really get the 100% from your iPhones instead of the 60% or less that Apple gives you.
My jailbroken SE can do more than stock XS (without any performance issues) and that is not an exaggeration

I think that now is an amazing opportunity to try jailbreaking, you have nothing to lose. If anything happens (which is extremely unlikely because jailbreaks now aren't permanent/untethered) you can easily restore your device to the newest stock iOS version with iTunes and forget about everything

I really wish that I had the surplus of time that hackers always seem to have.

I wish Apple was on its game, but alas, no. It's a company spread too thin, governed by greedy hand-wringers.

Yes yes, and Apple is doomed and Steve is rolling in his grave like a gas station hotdog

I'm surprised this regression happened. This points to a breakdown in product management discipline, which in general is a bad sign.
