This week is a golden period for the jailbreak community. UnC0ver Jailbreak V 2.2.0 (Public Beta 5) was released for testing. @S0rryMyBad demoed an actual jailbreak for iOS 12-12.1.1 on an iPhone X and released the PoC for the jailbreak. Moreover, just yesterday, @tihmstar released the tfp0 exploit, which is extremely essential for a jailbreak, for iOS 11.4.x. Using the tfp0 treadm1ll exploit and various other bugs, after a long hiatus, Coolstar and Electra have come up with a new version of Electra Jailbreak V 1.2.1 available for all devices from iOS 11-11.4.1. The latest Electra release is probably the fastest jailbreak update yet.
Though the UnC0ver Jailbreak is stated as much stable compared to the Electra Jailbreak; Electra has a loyal following and the users are now rejoicing over the quick update to iOS 11.4.x brought by Coolstar.
