Apple released iOS 13.3.1 back January, and as is traditional, Apple has now stopped signing iOS 13.3, making downgrading to that version of iOS no longer possible.
Apple is known to stop signing older versions of operating systems after it releases a public update, as part of an effort to encourage users to keep their devices’ operating systems up to date.
Apple’s decision to stop signing iOS 13.3 should be of particularly sour news to jailbreak users, The unc0ver team has teased that a jailbreak for iOS 13.3 is on the way sometime this week.
The #unc0ver jailbreak for A12-A13 will be released in the next 24 hours if no new major bugs are found.
If you want to support the development of the #unc0ver jailbreak, you can find the PayPal and Patreon links on https://t.co/FtG9c9kNtg.
