My iphone 3G had more features than my 12max because of this man.
your problem fundamentally, is that you still bought the 12max. they failed to teach you anything at all, and something tells me, it's not their fault
@@512TheWolf512 No one cares about your android goober lol. Besides, its a company phone, i paid 0$.
And most likely, Android supported most them without rooting and still supports them.
@@Otto500206 Is that supposed to be a flex?
@@joellandry2406 Nope, a reminder of the reality.
I remember I jailbroke my iPod Touch 4 solely to get Siri, right after the iPhone 4s was released. I followed the tutorial, but then my iPod got stuck on the Apple logo and wouldn’t reboot. Sad times as a 12 year old…
Me too I had iPod Touch 4 😀 BTW #short specially for you: Talking with Siri from 2011
th-cam.com/users/shortswTs6XgliH9w?feature=share
Was just a soft brick, hope you just unbricked it... I had siri always on, so even when the screen was off I would control everything by voice. Super cool.
@@DrewAk49Did you notice a significant impact on battery life?
I was so mad when apple restricted siri after they bought it. I had it on my ipod touch before they bought it and was so Angry when they shut it down to make it exclusive to the new models
i had an ipod touch 4, but i lost it behind my couch and when i found it months later it was somehow disabled for over 400 years, and it displayed the time i had to wait in minutes.
my now deleted first TH-cam video was about jailbreaking the iPod touch. That feels like a lifetime ago now.
We are getting old now ☺️☺️☺️
Same, lol. Jailbroken iphones/ipods and ubuntu
Omfg me too 😂
@@DrewAk49Ubuntu is alive and well, in contrast to jailbreaking
And me 😂
You never forget your first time breaking out of Apple's clutches. Thank you Saurik, redsn0w and everyone else who has contributed to the jailbreaking/opensource movement.
Never forger George Hotz with blackra1n or limera1in! He's also the first to unlock an iPhone & of course the PS3 jailbreak when Sony sued them and he dropped à crazy diss track 😅
Is it was that of a big deal back then why to use ios device at first place ?
It’s crazy just how true this statement is..I remember feeling so much joy just being able to do things we should have already Ben givin.somethings we still don’t have on IOS that I had in 2012..it’s crazy
Completely unrelated but shoutout to DarkAlex too! iykyk
@@NissanSkyline69was darkalex active on the ios scene too? I thought he was psp only
It’s a very sad truth but you are 1000% right. I loved jailbreaking so much I named my daughter “Cydia”.
DUDE !!! THAT IS AWSOME!!!
Nice! I always found that name satisfying. I think it's a great name!
Does she know she’s named after nerd sh**?
LMAO
Better the chlamidya that's fo' sure
jailbreaking is how I got into programming man this is a real throwback
People used to pay my bro to jailbreak their iphones or ipads, so much that he was able to afford laptops and other stuff at 12 years old, lol
Badass!!
am I your bro? hahaha kidding aside those were cool times.
send my regards to your bro from a fellow jailbreaker
I use to jailbreak iPhone and psp’s and made a decent amount of money. I miss being the only one with a modded psp in my neighborhood.
I originally studied computer science when I began college (switched to audio production about halfway through; big change, I know). I had this cybersecurity class that required us to do a semester project, but it was very open ended, so me and this one guy decided to do our project on jailbreaking. For a big chunk of my research, I jailbroke my iPhone 7 and used it for the entire semester. I helped people out on Reddit, tried different combinations of tweaks, etc etc. Our paper was very well done, and when we presented to the class, we were tied for the class’s favorite presentation of the day… the teacher failed us (56/100) without a single mark on our paper and no comments on any of it. This teacher was in bed with Silicon Valley big tech, so I’m almost certain she did it just because she didn’t like it.
Thanks for reading my story, random person on the internet. Have a wonderful day.
Upload you paper somewhere so that we can have a look at it.
If it exists.
I still have each and every file I've worked on since 2000. I don't have anything worth keeping before that
@@xl000 It doesn’t exist anymore, unfortunately. I got rid of all my CSC stuff when I switched to audio.
@@crash_suppression Yeah, right.
@@xl000 why would he keep his papers on a qualification he didnt end up achieving? some people don't care about obsolete documents, not worth the hassle to keep around when it got them nowhere
But still we walk around keeping our lives although we're failures..@@cmposting
I used to jailbreak back in the iPhone 4/5 days it was fun while it lasted, with recent developments to iOS you dont really need tp jailbreak anymore, but if you think about it, apple just stole ideas from old school tweaks and presents them as new and revolutionary? ......icon customization? weve had that for years but iOS 18 is 'revolutionary'
Yep, iOS 18 is heavily inspired by Jailbreak ☺️ PS. I am trying to organize an interview with Jay Freeman (Saurik) to ask his opinion about Apple, Tim Cook, iOS 18 etc
This has to be my biggest grip. I jailbroke phones from the first till the 6th and as someone who is now an open source dev I despise apple for the way the treated the brilliant jailbreak community. Stole their ideas, threatend them with legal action and all around treated us like criminal scum for daring to break their precious walled garden.
I don't think I will ever regret switching to android.
@@ArthurBrassart I’d say ever since iOS 16 you could see the inspiration, I had an iPhone 12 Pro Max when iOS 14 was latest and I remember installing Jellyfin and other such tweaks to customize the Lock Screen almost exactly how it ended up looking like on those newer versions…to think that was the last ever possible jailbreak within “modern” iOS
You ALWAYS need to jailbreak. It was never about tweaks, it was about control. RIP jailbreaking.
Not just stole. SBSettings' dev was outright recruited and wrote the initial Notification Center. ^^
Awesome video, man! A dying culture... I remember the days when the first thing we'd do any time a new iPhone dropped was to jailbreak it haha. Love the editing, looks professional! :)
Thanks for your comment bro! :) I am trying to improve my editing skills. I am glad you liked it.
@@ArthurBrassart Speaking of improving your editing skills, the VCR sounds is interesting. The duct tape transition not so much. As a general rule of thumb, people will put up with subpar video but not audio. That being said, if it was me I would use an EQ HPF -6dB roll off around 250hz (this removes the low droning sound from your low voice, some of us don't want our skulls rattled by headphones just listening to a talking head, take it as a compliment). This will give the narration more clarity. Then normalize audio at -9dbFS Sample Peak Program (General rule of thumb for dialog is keep it between -15 to -10dB) this is why -9dbFS (SPP) is default setting in Davinci Resolve, btw. Keep it up dude!
I loved Cydia and the jailbreak community. I only had iPhone because of them. I was able to turn an iPad touch into an iPhone thanks to Cydia and a special case. I still have on my channel old jailbroken awesomeness. Had real Bluetooth, awesome customized themes and tweaks. Thank you for all you did Mr. Freeman! And to all that made the jailbreak possible, I used every single tool through the years! ❤
What really killed jailbreaking was the bounty program. Why give up an exploit for free when you get paid 5 figures for reporting it to Apple.
Why not do both?
@@nothing1843 Because Apple probably makes you sign an agreement to not disclose the exploit in exchange for the money.
@@nothing1843 Actually, that's what some security researchers do. They'll get the bounty, and once a patch has been released, they release the code used to exploit. That has resulted in the current drip-feed of exploits that barely keeps the jailbreak scene alive nowadays.
Apple never pays the bounty, there’s plenty of devs that have never been paid out with anything more than credit in the patch notes that nobody reads. What actually killed it is the black market of selling exploits to malware makers and other hackers. Why write a jailbreak when you can have a botnet of iPhone users that don’t know they’re infected?
@@nothing1843 because the exploit will get fixed by apple when you tell them about it genius
Saurik is one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I’ve ever met. I owe him for so much of my success. Thank you for showcasing his impact on mobile software ❤
I miss the days of early jailbreaking. Everything felt fresh and exciting, same as the early days of PSP cfw's. I learned so much in that time because it felt like the door to endless possibilities. Now everything tech wise feels kind of bland. Sure, we have AI now, we have phones capable of incredible tasks but I can't help but miss those old days.
I used to spend hours trying to jailbreak my iPhone and even longer customizing my phone once I finally got it to work. This brings back so much nostalgia for me and on behalf of all loyal iPhone users thank you saurik for making the iPhone more than just a cellphone
watching this on my jailbroken xs max lol.
Edit: just wanted to mention that thanks to jailbreaking there are videos of me as a baby cuz my dad had jailbroken his iphone cuz at the time it didint support video recording.
keep this phone man! in 10 years it will be worth a lot of money ;) It's like old cars.
@@ArthurBrassartit’s not old yet. Phones last a long time now.
@@ArthurBrassartwondering how it will all play out especially with how the future seems to want to have ai integrated directly into hardware. Wonder how different these devices will seem looking back after 10yrs. But yea I have a 11pro max & 15pro max will hold on to them for the fuck of it :)
my 11 already comes in handy for extra emulators and such will eventually jailbreak it. 👍🏼
HOW COULD YOU ! Reporting you to Pear HQ .
i remember jailbreaking for the first time in 2008. haven’t stopped, but it’s mad to think back in the day you’d have to wait a few weeks, now it’s years apart. feel like this 16.4 jb might potentially be my last.
edit: i also do remember when the servers couldn’t handle the traffic. cydia used to be SO SLOW 😂. you’d have to really know what you wanted to download because it would take like a 3-5 minutes to load the cydia homescreen
I’ve had a history of jailbreaking My Play Station 3 and IPods/iphones. Such an era to be alive. Pure Freedom and power.
Good old days. From jailbreaking my iPod Touch 2nd & 4th Gen to iPhone 4 and 5. The amount of customisation you could do on a jailbroken iPhone was insane. Jailbreak was the only reason why I was stuck with Apple. Ever since jailbreak release was slowing down, I've decided to switch to Android. As much as I love Android now, the jailbreak era is forever in my heart. Thanks to Saurik and others who've made it possible.
Insane how many of the jailbreak tweeks, Apple ended up implementing it into iOS. Dark mode, gridlock, control center, themes, a file manager, descriptions on photos, better Volume UI, cellular hot spot, Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets. List goes on. Tbh if it wasn’t for the jailbreak scene iOS would be entirely different today IMO
When I was 12 I went to my local phone store and jailbreaked one of the iPhones on display. I ended up working at that store years later and confessed my crimes
What do you think about this type of video?
very well edited, very easy to follow, very good scripting, overall, great vid!! :) new subscriber!
Love it!
I liked the video it invokes nostalgia…. but you left one loose end: did he agree to help the fbi or did he work with “the man” ? Because I’d really like to think Jay would appreciate privacy… unless they gave up some insane amount of money. Still though, he wouldn’t be helping in just that one case. Sharing knowledge like that with the feds is just another step on the road to blade runner 2049
@@Emancipatriotfinally its another company who was able to help FBI
Very well done video!
Vivid memories of jail breaking my phone and loading so many tweaks on it it would restart into safe mode every 15 minutes. Good times
I personally think the transition is kind of annoying. But this is a really good structured video on history of jailbreaking. This takes me back. I made a dark mode UI for winter board back then. Like multitasking background status bar, default, iPhone apps and etc.. though I posted it for free. I miss those good old days. Jailbreaking community was very tight. Almost like being part of a family. Shame that those days will never be here again again. As far as I know, jailbreaking is completely dead. So I think we still need to be able to do it. The software updates don’t give us all the cool stuff we used to have. I miss making my entire home screen dance to Harlem shake lol
Pretty underrated video. I got here because of the algorithm. I am glad I was here before it got viral.
Welcome aboard!
"I am glad I was here before it got viral." Yup, it was much better 4 days ago.
Man jailbreaking my IPod Touch as a 13 year old on the family computer was scary as hell, but was so worth it. Coolest Apple product I ever owned.
I remember telling my friends my iPhone was jail broken and they always ask if I could do it for them and I’m like Mann, listen your don’t want these problems!
Boy's gonna go viral after some days I can smell it
Thanks bro! Let's hope 😎 I made a screenshot of your comment!
Ayo its time

Sadly now the only devices that can jailbreak iOS 17 are the 2017 iPad Pros, and the iPad 6th and 7th generation. The 7th gen may be our only hope in getting an iOS 18 jailbreak because it’s the only one of those 3 to get that version
I just sent an E-mail to Saurik :) Maybe he will accept my proposition to talk about tech and the future of Apple and Tech industry
As I owned a 7th gen (recently upgraded to a 2018 iPad Pro), I will say jailbreaking iPad aren’t as particularly fun, nor useful like they used to be sadly 😔
@@technicolordiode9891 Plus there’s no tweaks for iOS 17. I jailbroke a 7th gen on iOS 17 and there were a few cool tweaks but most tweaks are for iOS 16 earlier
my ahh still on IOS 14 😂😂
@@xoquinnnnhow do you manage it. My iPhone 12 didn’t support many apps anymore on iOS 14 and I had to update 😢
This was such an amazing point in iOS history. I remember being in high school, spending countless hours jailbreaking my iPod Touch, and installing as many tweaks as I would find. I had friends even pay me to jailbreak their devices. I remember trying to install Siri on my device was one of the biggest challenges I ever faced. Once I got it installed, it was slower than I could imagine. Just a testament to how popular these hacks were. I miss them dearly.
I remember installing cydia on my iphone 3GS, and I used to get so many questions on how I made my iphone look different! Fun times
Got a iPhone touch 2g for Xmas when I was like 12/13. I remember jailbreaking it, I remember sbsettings lol. Many things from this video brings back some nostalgia.
Man I remember looking for a jailbreak on school computers and then rushing home to try it, some fond memories
Saurik will be known as an IT Legend. Dude has done so much for the tech community while asking for so little in return.
Ahhh the lost art of jealbreaking. Boy i miss those days. I always found it funny how a lot of the packs found on cydia was later added to ios
Such nostalgia honestly. I remember back in the day we used to do this to all of our Ipod touches and show off all the cool mods we had....Good times..
Man, I remember jailbreaking my iPod Touch 2nd gen and turning that thing into a little handheld computer that ran alongside my cell phone with all the apps I wanted that weren't in the app store. Loved being able to customize all the icons and the GUI.
I was there back in iOS 4.0, Jailbreak was the epitaph of the iPhone. But Apple didn’t killed the jailbreak. They rendered it obsolete by taking everything users wanted and integrating it directly in iOS. Jailbreak can still be achieved, but the community isn’t there anymore not as the armada of developers we had back then. It was one of the greatest period of my life and I thank everyone who was involved back then
Having a fully untethered jailbreak on your iPhone back then is a treasured memory and you felt unstoppable. Nowadays, you have to hope and pray even a semi tethered jailbreak comes out
Kim jong un wallpaper, I need that haha
haha, I like it too:D You can download it in the description under this video: th-cam.com/video/8pMv8In503g/w-d-xo.html BTW: I have a lot of funny dynamic island wallpapers
I miss being a kid starting off having no idea what I was doing u till I figure out that I was making my phone more to my liking. I miss jailbreak ig so much :(. I use to show off to my friends with me getting the new iOS before release and all my tweaked apps
It was such an adventure :)
i did this in middle school, had no idea about the drama behind it.
This guy made me feel like a genius back then,hats off to you bro
cydia is not dead, it's still going strong but a lot more underground now since it takes a bit more time to crack current devices with a lot more hurdles.
Jailbreaking is no longer a mainstream :( It is reserved to an elite users 😎😇
I remember getting the third generation iPod touch and jailbreaking it. So many useful features came from jailbreak such as the Control Center stuff we have in stock iOS now. The thing about beating jailbreak is that not only they patched the security exploits, but they also copied some features which made regular people want to jailbreak their phones in the first place. Kinda like how Steam helped reduce piracy with good customer service.
Same, Cydia still has the blobs saved from when I jailbroke it with p0sixspwn. Pretty amazing how many features were available on the third gen compared to the previous, despite both of them running that same iOS 4.2.1 software. After all, never quite likened to iMessage on the 3G compared to how everyone knew it on the 4G alongside FaceTime
Jailbreak been a huge part of my childhood. My first iOS device ever been an iPod 2nd gen on iOS 4.2.1 , done the jailbreak with appsync installed , to get to install cracked apps . Then my first iPhone 3G in 2014 , when the look of iOS changed with iOS 7 , some developer launched a version of iOS 3.1.3 with all the tweaks from iOS 7 , which was mind blowing, it was designed to run on 2G/3G , iPod 1st gen , 2nd gen . Anyways jailbreak was cool , it was a flex back then to have an iPhone with endless pages of games and apps .
Great video! I jailbroke every iPhone I had from the 4-11. I’m on the 15PM now.. I miss it.
Great video man! I loved the content. One issue that I found myself feeling frustrated about was the animations for each chapter. I felt they happened to often… where each time you ran that animation, it’s about 13 seconds, and when I just saw it 3 minutes prior, it really felt like it took me out of the video. Other than that, I really enjoyed the video
Ahhh you just unlocked memories, the untethered JBs after several ios updates. Good ole times lol. I switched to android after 2014
Jailbreaking used to be the first thing I’d do after buying the new iPods. Beautiful times
I remember jailbreaking my Gen 4 iPod Touch back in the day for the fun of it. I kind of miss those days of being a kid and messing around.
I miss the jailbreak times. Apple made a mistake by actively killing the literal thinktank behind the best iOS features we have now. Once the apps market got way better on Android (2013-14), I moved to it just to be able to have my own custom phone instead of barely having different wallpapers.
Although, Android as well has became closed and the root scene pretty much died unless you have very one of few devices. But it will take much more than iOS 18 to catch up lol.
Nah Android are always open source.
You got wrong phone. Don't buy Samsung ever again!!!!! Get Google Pixel or Sony Xperia come with unlockable bootloader that let you install custom roms.
Do not buy phones from att, T-Mobile, Verizon and any prepaid company. Buy your own android phone with no network carrier branded.
70% Android manufacturer and network carrier love to locked their devices so customers can't do much with it until exploit come out.
I Jailbroke my iPhone as my Service Provider would not allow me to use my Data Plan with a computer.
It was also nice to have access to some of my games I paid for but were removed from the store for various reasons.
Great video 😊
Thanks 🙏
Never was an iOS user but I always LOVED Open Source community and their hard work for making consumer devices more customizable and better in many ways.
2000-2015 were GOLDEN days for technology and hacking your devices, so much freedom and excitement but now it became way too complicated, not enough exciting advancements, people are being too distracted by social media etc.
Boring and soul-less time in technology these days...
I was a diehard Windows user my whole life. I only bought an iPhone 4 so I could buy a car mount that was specifically made for a phone's hardware (I hated universal phone mounts).
I was a power user (I pirated DirecTV for a number of years) so I investigated jailbreaking immediately, but I never bothered doing it.
I didn't want to brick my expensive phone, I didn't want to mess it up so that I was without a cellphone for any length of time, and there was never any killer app that I had to have that required jailbreaking.
I don't regret it. Jailbreaking was as much a hacker hobby as it was a practical resource. More so in fact.
Great video! Reminds me of my jailbreaking days in highschool. People would pay me to jailbreak their iPhones off the school computers. It was after ios4 so there was no JailbreakMe anymore.
Haha, me too I was jailbreaking phones for my Friends 😂 I forced everyone to do it back in the day 🙈
@@ArthurBrassart Then they'd update their phones and be all surprised when the Jailbreak was gone.
Thanks for bringing a memories back :-) it is like yesterday ...
Glad you enjoyed it
Was an Android user until the 4S, what a great time I had with that phone, followed up with a 6s but now I'm back in droidland with a fold5

Great editing and great narration! Just subbed - keep up the great work and God bless
Much appreciated! Thanks for your subscription 😇
I jailbroke my ipod touch 4, iphone 4s, and iphone 5s. I only used fully untethered jail breaks. I used iphone 7 plus, and I never jail broke it. It was my last iphone. I am on Android now.
Better decision.
Well made video! Very informative, I always wondered what happened with cydia and the whole jail breaking community lol
I still jailbreak whatever device is possible … without i always feel like am missing something!
I think most of us just moved to android
Really good video, but the transitions with the tape and VHS feel very... contextually wrong? Also, the video text warping would be a cool idea if it didn't warp outside the TV screen!
This was my first video of this type :) Next one will be even better 👌👀 PS. The old TV was related to “good old times” 😅
Amazing video! I have all my iPhones in my collection below the iPhone 5S jailbroken. Used to love it and even tested beta builds of jailbreaks until the iOS 12 era with Unc0ver. My favorite tweak of all time is probably DreamBoard using the Mavericks Mini theme. I loved to have a little OS X device in my pocket. Oh memories
My new IOS18 beta with filtered colors on apps feels like my old jailbroken iPhone for the first time. Not as many customizations, but at least I can make my entire phone neon colored.
Crazy how Apple stole the jailbreak features/customizability options and released them shouting their *"innovation"*
Truly disgusting that they didn't even acknowledge those poor developer's hard-work and creativity. Instead tried to sue them.
Jailbreaking is the best thing to ever happen to Apple.
1. Because people bought iPhones just to jailbreak them.
2. Every feature in iOS today comes from tweaks like bioprotect and dark mode.
Facts
The average iPhone user didn’t know or care about jailbreaking, just nerds. Also, those features would’ve came regardless
P
ahhhh the good old days. my adventures with jailbreaking was all about removing carrier locks. loved and hated it, hated having to do it but it always felt so awesome when you got a difficult device to work
Now... I miss my 4S with a tons of tweaks.
BTW I Used iPhone 4S for 1 day in 2024 -

Quite the tweaker were ya
I remember in middle school charging 5$ to jailbreak kids iPods.
iOS wouldn’t be what it is today without Jay, and the iPhone dev team. Apple just used all their ideas.
jailbreak's not dead. I've a jailbroken Iphone 8 on my truck loaded with apps such as the one to use Safari on my truck's touchscreen, files, watch TH-cam and much more. So it's far from dead, I been using it from 2007 until now. Thanks for your video is great to remember this stuff and name great devs like Jay, without him our phones won't be the good as they're today.
The picture with Saurik on his violin is Goated, no lie!
I remember the jailbreak that was on a website that had “slide to jailbreak” on it. Was pretty cool at like 12 y/o jailbreaking my iPod touch at my grand parents house
Really well made video with very accurate content. Thank you.
Wow this video brought me back to those wonderful days of jailbreaking. Thank you.
Only reason why I ever did the jailbreak on multiple iPhones was because I had T-Mobile for many years and the iPhone was not available for T-Mobile back then.
What a great time for iPhone users. It was cool to customize your phone particularly just for you. I remember showing friends and family what I could do on my iPhone and trying to get them to jump on the jailbreak train.
I used jailbreak from iPhone 4 until iPhone 7, the only reason was to keep background app active even when screen is off, never had an issue with lagging or anything, it’s crazy how my 13 once I exit any app it restart instantly 😢
I still have my iPhone 4 that is jailbroken but sadly on the latest os it can support. I don't use it anymore though but sometimes I fiddle around it and it was awesome using themes on it and tweaks. I loved the sound effects you could add for the slide to unlock.
Good . I was tired of either having to deal with failed jailbroken device from acquaintances, or being asked to jailbreak some acquaintances's iOS device. It was a waste of time for everybody
Your video is cool, i remember jailbreaking my iPhone 3G, iPhone 4 and 5, a lot of idea of apple was from jailbreak app
Wow. This is a great video.
I switched to android because I was tired of jailbreaking phones to get features that android had. I finally came back to iPhone a few years ago as Apple finally caught up.
The final hurdle is true multitasking. I need to be able to do things in the background.
Man I love and miss the jailbreak community. All the tweets and themes made having the iPhone fun to use and modify, especially adding features Apple has now finally been adding years later
Felt like such a hacker at 13 when I jailbroke my 3rd gen iPod touch.
The golden age of Jailbreaking was something I’m glad I was a part of with my iPod Touch 2G non MC model
nice style! just a bit more mastering of your audio and you are doing super great videos! keep doing!
I remembered a friend and I use Cydia to jailbreak our iPhone 5 and iPad 1 just for learning experience. All the commands and programs to download to jailbreak. We would spend hours to jailbreak a device. And if you upgrade to another version of iOS it patch up all your jailbreak work.
The Apple certificate server is what probably made it super difficult to jailbreak. Most of the people that want to jailbreak their devices went and got Android devices which is easier to jailbreak.
The BEST EVER WAS back then when you could convert an iPod to an iPhone with a GSM shell with Cydia! That was bending spacetime back then.
So nostalgic, so sad. I really miss jailbreaking
I used to jailbreak all my devices back then, I remember sitting around waiting for the next cydia updates after the most recent iOS software updates 😂
Great video! Brought back memories.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fondly remember my jailbroken iphone 3gs. Peak phone era for me.
We should honestly thank sodik for finding loopholes to exploit and jailbreak iPhones without malice but to allow users to have full control of their owned devices
Jailbreak was a huge help. Hands down to this man. I remember jailbreaking my ipod touch 3 to enable features. This has caused apple to make huge improvements in their effort to stop jailbreaking. Now im using 14 pro max. Cant help but be nostalgic.
Man thanks so much for this video. It triggered so much nostalgic feelings from my nerdy teenage years 🤩. Because of those jailbreak years I decided to become an iOS developer :)
Amazing 😀
that north korean leader wallpaper aligned perfectly with the dynamic island is hilarious.
