#ios15

Around this time last year (in March 2022) I had updated my main iPhone to iOS 15.1, hoping to make a jailbreak for it. I fully expected to be gone from the scene after iOS 15.1, but knew full well that with all the mitigations of iOS 15.0 - 15.1 alone, it may already have been out of my means to make a jailbreak, so there was a risk.

By that time, I had already cut down the tweaks I used to just 2 -- iPad dock for iPhone, and enabling battery percentage for notched iPhones.

Fast forward to June, and iOS 16 had natively introduced battery percentage for iPhones that have the notch -- cutting down the number of tweaks I’d want (compared to stock) from 2 to 1. But no matter, I was still on iOS 15.1, and still hoping to make a jailbreak, since I had a working terminal at that point.

However, the months progressed -- June became July, and iOS 16 betas were coming. Thanks to a donation from someone, I got an M1 Macbook Air to accelerate jailbreak development, and had gotten libhooker with tweaks running a couple weeks later, including on A12 and A13. The jailbreak at this point was in an extremely buggy, albeit functional state and hope was up.

Then the jailbreak community happened -- without a PAC / PPL bypass at the time, libhooker would be forced to sign code pages -- which was only really doable with the libhooker API (unless a ton of effort was spent on potential workarounds). But tweak developers largely refused to consider using the libhooker API for batching hooks, and I was quickly getting frustrated. And a lot of others from the community weren’t helping either -- I had gotten harassed by many jailbreak users on twitter and reddit over this, especially since it had recently come to light that Cheyote was broken on A15. And of course, with it being August 2022, it was unlikely any donations at this point would even get an A15 device on early iOS 15.

At the same time, I had other interests popping up with porting Windows to various chromebooks -- my port to AMD Ryzen was going well enough to be a daily driver, and I had just gotten audio working on the Pixel 2 chromebook (which I previously abandoned in 2017 but then picked up in 2022 with my new experience).

So I snapped -- I realized how much better the community is on the chromebook side and that I simply didn’t need to put up with the jailbreak community. And I put Cheyote on the backburner to focus on developing Windows drivers for chromebooks.

Then August became September, November, December. Progress was being made on the chromebook scene, but every time I considered returning to doing iOS jailbreaking, I shuddered from remembering the harassment.

In December 2022, I returned the money donated towards the macbook to the person who donated it. Since I realized Cheyote was well beyond schedule, even if it ever came to happen. Meanwhile in the chromebook scene, I was getting Intel 12th gen audio working.

Then the months passed, and in March 2023 I realized it had been a full year. And I was still on iOS 15.1 for seemingly no reason other than to tease myself and miss out on the battery percentage and widgets -- so I updated my main iPhone to iOS 16.3.1 (and now iOS 16.4), knowing that there was no turning back and that I would no longer be jailbroken on my main device for a long time, if ever.

That brings us to today. Even though I’ve been in denial about it for several months now, it clearly has made me feel a lot better to stay away from the jailbreak community, and I have found new interests that make me happier. So it’s time to say farewell. It’s been a good run overall since I started developing tweaks for iOS 5 (in 2012) and jailbreaks since iOS 11 (in 2017) -- a 10 year run isn’t too bad after all. 

===========================================================

For those who are still waiting on Cheyote, unfortunately I wouldn’t hold my breath anymore. I’ve clearly moved on months ago, even though it’s taken me until now to fully realize it. I appreciate those who have supported me in the past and thank you for your support on my tweaks, Electra, Chimera, Odyssey and Taurine. If you’re still running one of the jailbreaks I’ve made -- you’re a real one. libhooker and my repos will still be up and running for those on iOS 11 to iOS 14, and Sileo has been maintained by Amy for over a year now. I expect Odyssey and Taurine won’t need any more updates considering they’ve been running stable for a long time, and libhooker 1.6.9 will continue to be hosted on my repo since it is the last version to be fully validated up to iOS 14.8.1 (on checkm8) and up to iOS 14.3 (on Chimera -> Taurine).

What Is Meta Going To Do?

So first of all, I will talk about the information released about meta/metaverse during it's release. Before release event Mark Zuckerberg announced a rename event for Facebook Company as a whole. Like Facebook is a parent company for many applications like Instagram, WhatsApp and all so, they decided to change the name of the parent company and Facebook will be same as itself including the application's name too. So they accepted names from the public suggestions but when the event came out it was all changed. He announced an entirely different concept from rumours said. So let's see how it all went in detail.

As we all know, before so many years when Facebook was established they only had one product named Facebook as a Social Media Platform which some of the people still use. As time passed they bought Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger. So at present we know that there are lots of companies under Facebook. Yeah and one more and most important one (going to be) - Oculus Go. Oculus Go does research in AR and VR and they do have some gadgets for these. As we all know the things VR glasses and other supporting gadgets do. They create an atmosphere where we can live in another world or a game whatever, we can do all stuff but actually not doing it. Coming back to point, what Mark wanted to create with the help of Oculus Go is creating an AR world with the help VR for every one like a game. In a sense we can make our life as game. Ofcourse there so many difference with the real world and the virtual word but we can do all the things that we wanted to do in real world and ofcourse they do have limitations too. And in this world there will be more people than us like friends in Facebook and this virtual will be like world for them or a social media platform. Where we can chat with others without typing, touch and feel, play together at real time and more. And this shared Reality World is called Meta Verse.

What All We Can Do With Meta Verse?

Social Media

As we all know after the pandemic breakdown we couldn't get back to our friends and family without social media platforms. The most recent way expressing our feelings through chat or anything is emojis or gifs. What about next level of it? Yeah in meta verse we can go and talk with our friends in different places or yeah whatever we wanted to but actually not being there. That real time experience is priceless.

Entertainment

OTT platforms too grown up a lot during these times, therefore met verse do have some takes on this. The only disadvantage of OTT is lack of theatre experience with friends and family. So ofcourse we have meta verse by bringing virtual theatre and sonic experience with friends and all.

Gaming

We have seen MKBHD playing games using VR set likewise we all can do a kind of same with multiplayer and most importantly it feels real gaming out there. Ofcourse with live chats and whatever may be the place of the players, they all can gather at one virtual place for this gaming, anytime.

Fitness

Yeah we know for fitness improvement exercises we should all those in physically in real life. But this virtual tech can help you to change the vibe or location where you are. Like if you are using treadmills, but using meta verse you can run in a virtual park. Even you can compete with your friends too. This makes more interesting to do workouts.

Working

Many companies have switched their work flow to work from home and associated things. Ofcourse there are online meetings as well as classes too. But this all can be done in one virtual room at the same time with real time experiences including sharing files and all. This also helps MNC employees to meet and work. All the presentations and all can be done through 3D renders and hologram too.

Shopping

Yeah just making online shopping experience to next level. Now we can got to virtual shops and checkout the product and its quality and all and place order. The order will be delivered to our real home. And we can but grocery items and all from home instead of going out with same experience that we wanted from outdoor.

So coming to latest update of meta verse,
