iPhone jailbreakers will always have a home here at neveropen, and while we cover iPhone jailbreak news throughout the week as it surfaces, we also come at you every weekend with a roundup just like this one ensuring that all our readers never miss the important details that could pertain to them and their jailbreakability.
In this roundup, we’ll be getting all our readers up to speed on what happened spanning the week of Monday, June 23rd through Sunday, June 29th. As usual, we’ll start be talking about the most important topics first and then we’ll close with important jailbreak tweak updates and roundups & tutorials pertaining to the topic of iPhone hacks and jailbreaks.
So if you’re ready, let’s dive right in.
Important stuff from this week
26 things iOS 26 ‘borrowed’ from the jailbreak community
We looked through all the latest features in iOS & iPadOS 26 and saw several things that looked familiar to us as veteran jailbreakers.
Indeed, it seems that Apple has once again gotten inspiration from features that have already existed in the jailbreak world and implemented them into the stock iOS & iPadOS 26 experience.
You can see more about the features that Apple sherlocked in our full featured piece.
Pocket Poster updates
The Pocket Poster hack, which allows users to set custom animated PosterBoard wallpapers on their iPhone running iOS 17.0 and later without a jailbreak, has been updated with new features and bug fixes.
You can learn more about the latest Pocket Poster updates below:
Nugget updates
Nugget, the popular SparseRestore exploit-based iPhone customization toolbox that allows users to make changes resembling jailbreak tweaks to their device without a jailbreak, has received an update with new features and bug fixes.
You can learn more about the latest Nugget updates below:
Vertex exploit expands version support
The Vertex exploit by security researcher @alfiecg_dev has been upgraded to support all of iOS & iPadOS 14 and 15, meaning that it has the potential to work on more devices and firmware versions than when it was initially released.
Citing our sources, Vertex now supports iOS & iPadOS 14.0-15.7.2, which means it could replace existing exploits in previously-released jailbreaks. It’s also expected to be used in the Apex jailbreak that @alfiecg_dev teased, but we aren’t yet aware of any plans for it to be released publicly.
You can learn more about the expanded Vertex exploit in our full news post.
Waktos 2
If you’re interested in an Android-inspired Lock Screen clock for your jailbroken iPhone, and you like high customizability, then Waktos 2 might be the jailbreak tweak for you.
This add-on can be invoked with a simple double-tap and comes with tons of options for colorizing, re-sizing, moving around, and changing the font of your Lock Screen clock, among other things.
You can learn more about Waktos 2 in our full review post.
gridswitcher
The new gridswitcher jailbreak tweak ports the iPadOS grid-based App Switcher experience to jailbroken iPhones running iOS 15 and 16.
