Apple Releases iOS 12.5.1 for iPhone 5S, 6 & 6 Plus with Fix for Exposure Notifications
Apple Releases iOS 12.5.1 for iPhone 5S, 6 & 6 Plus with Fix for Exposure Notifications
Apple just released iOS 12.5.1 (build number 16H22) for iPhone 5S, 6, and 6 Plus, as well as iPod touch 6th generation, in addition to iPadOS 12.5.1 for iPad Air, mini 2, and mini 3. The update fixes an issue in iOS 12.5 where Exposure Notifications could incorrectly display logging profile language.
The update follows the Dec. 14 release of iOS 12.5, which brought Exposure Notifications to older iPhones in the first place. However, other than that feature, these iOS 12 software updates aren’t meant to be major updates. Instead, they serve as a way to support iPhones and iPads that can’t run the latest versions of iOS.
This update is only compatible with iPhones that run iOS 12, but are not compatible with iOS 13 or iOS 14. To be clear, any iPhone that is compatible with iOS 13 is also iOS 14-ready, so this update is really for a small number of iPhones. Unless your iPhone fits in that tiny list — iPhone 5S, 6, and 6 Plus — you won’t see 12.5.1 hit your device.
To download and install iOS 12.5.1 on your compatible iPhone, open Settings –> General –> Software Update. Next, follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the software on your device.
We’ve been using the iOS 12.5.1 update for a few days and here’s we’ve noticed about the software’s performance thus far:
Connectivity
- Battery life is currently stable.
- Wi-Fi connectivity is fast and reliable right now.
- Bluetooth is working normally.
- GPS and cellular data are both stable.
Apps
- Third-party apps including Netflix, Dark Sky, Twitter, Slack, Asana, Gmail, Chrome, and Spotify feel stable.
- First party apps like Safari, Podcasts, and Calendar are running just fine right now.
Speed
- iOS 12.5.1 feels as fast as iOS 12.5.
iOS 12.5.1 Jailbreak
You can jailbreak newer versions of iOS 12, but it’s unclear if you can jailbreak iOS 12.5.1 right now.
The developers behind the “unc0ver” jailbreaking tool for iOS have released a new version, dubbed 5.0.0, that’s compatible with iOS 13.5 and most versions of iOS that fall between iOS 13.5 and iOS 11.0.
The jailbreak tool isn’t compatible with iOS 12.3-12.3.2 and iOS 12.4.2-12.4.5. So if you want to stick around on one of those versions, you’ll need to go another route.
For now, you’ll want to stay put on whatever version of iOS your device is currently running. Use our App Store to get jailbroken features.

Jailbreak iOS 14.2 Using Checkra1n, Here’s How-To [Guide]
Here’s how to jailbreak iOS 14.2 and also jailbreak iPadOS 14.2 using the extremely popular checkra1n that relies on the bootrom-based checkm8 exploit.
In order to successfully complete the process, you’ll need a compatible iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 14.2 or iPadOS 14.2 as well as a Mac computer in order to execute the initial checkra1n app.
Note: Checkra1n 0.12.1 currently offers the following support:

If you have taken note of all of that information and still want to proceed with the jailbreak, then this is the process that you will need to follow:
Step 1: Navigate to checkra.in and download the latest version of the Checkra1n jailbreak tool.
Step 2: Once the relevant file has been downloaded, extract the DMG file that comes with it and install it to the /Applications folder on your Mac.
Step 3: If your Mac doesn’t want to trust the checkrain app and won’t let you open it, then go through the following steps. Or, if everything opens as you would expect and no errors are thrown, then move to Step 4:
- Head into the System Preferences app and select the Security & Privacy option.
- Select “Open Anyway” followed by “Open” and enter your administrator password when prompted.
- Try to run the checkra1n app again and you shouldn’t have any issues.
Step 4: Run the checkra1n app.
Step 5: With Checkra1n still running, connect your device via a Lightning cable and then click the Start button and select OK.
Step 6: Select “Next” and then proceed with the instructions that the app gives you. This will result in your device going into DFU Mode.
Step 7: Checkra1n will essentially take over the process once it detects the device in DFU Mode. The iPhone or iPad will reboot a few times during the process so don’t get concerned when that happens.
Step 8: When you are finally told that the process is finished, you can unplug the Lightning cable and tap the checkra1n app on your device to launch the app. Tap Cydia and then Install Cydia to complete the process.
And there you have it! An iPhone or iPad running iOS 14.2 or iPadOS 14.2, jailbroken and running Cydia!
Jailbreak iOS 12.4.9 with Chimera or Unc0ver with Cydia or Sileo Installation [Guide]
If you are not living under a rock, then you must be known that there are two active iOS 12 Jailbreak for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices are available in iOS-Jailbreak community and by using the word “active” means that the iOS-Jailbreakers are updating these two iOS 12 Jailbreak Tools on regular basis for compatibility, optimization, and fixes. The name of the two active iOS 12 Jailbreak Software are i.e. Chimera and Unc0ver. The Chimera iOS 12 Jailbreak tool is developed by “Electra” team and its fully functional and stable tool with Sileo tweaks and apps support. Whereas, the Unc0ver iOS 12 Jailbreak tool is developed by “Pwn20wnd” team with exclusive endorsement of “Saurik” that is why it officially support Cydia tweaks and apps by default. Which means iOS-jailbreak community members have more than one choice to Jailbreak iOS 12.x.x Firmware versions. As we have already covered Electra iOS 11 Jailbreak guide before on our website that is why we are not covering Electra Jailbreak tool in this post again. For Apple iOS-device and tvOS-device users we are sharing the detailed guide and tutorial on How to Jailbreak iOS 12.4.9 Firmware with Chimera and Unc0ver Jailbreak on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices with official direct download links.
How to Jailbreak iOS 12.4 with Chimera Tool?
The Chimera iOS 12 Jailbreak is also developed by team “Electra” and it supports semi-tethered jailbreak, which means you will need to perform jailbreak process again after you restart your iOS device. The Chimera iOS 12 Jailbreak support almost all iOS 12 Versions from iOS 12 to iOS 12.4 as of now and it also support tvOS 12 Jailbreak as well for Apple TV devices and the supported software versions are from tvOS 12 to tvOS 12.4.
How to Install Sileo with Chimera after iOS 12.4 Jailbreak?
The Chimera iOS 12 Jailbreak doesn’t support Cydia installation by default instead it exclusively supports Sileo tweaks and apps because it uses Substitute (a Cydia Substrate alternative) for tweak injection.
How to Jailbreak iOS 12.4.9 with Unc0ver Tool?
On the other side, the Unc0ver iOS 12 Jailbreak is developed by team “Pwn20wnd” with the support of “Sam Bingner” and it’s also a semi-tethered jailbreak and its compatible with almost all iOS 12 Firmware and as well as iOS 11 Firmware from iOS 11 upto iOS 12.4.9 updates. The only issue with this iOS 12 Jailbreak and iOS 11 Jailbreak is that A12(X) chip based iOS devices are “partially supported”, which means SSH should be used other than full-fledged package manager by using tweak injection. This tool doesn’t support tvOS 12 Jailbreak for Apple TV as of now.
How to Install Cydia with Unc0ver after iOS 12.4.9 Jailbreak?
Unlike Chimera, the Unc0ver iOS 12 Jailbreak does support Cydia Installation and Cydia Tweaks and Apps support by default and it’s officially not support Sileo installation. The Unc0ver Jailbreak tool is using Cydia Substrate for tweak injection as it’s a only jailbreak tool endorsed by “Saurik”.
