For most Nintendo Switch owners, if there was one thing they could change about the console, it would probably be the battery life. The standard Switch model could only last 2.5 to 6.5 hours on a single charge, but the updated model that Nintendo unveiled in July improves upon that number significantly. If you buy a Switch with model number HAC-001(-01), you can expect 4.5 to 9 hours of battery life before having to plug the console back in.

As the console started to make its way on to store shelves around the world last week, reports arose claiming that Nintendo would exchange any original Switch models purchased after July 17th for a free, updated Switch with better battery life. Polygon even called Nintendo’s customer service line to verify the details of the claims, but just days later, The Verge reports that there isn’t and never was any official exchange program.

Over the years, Apple has patched countless holes that have been used to allow iOS devices to be jailbroken, and it seems that for every fix the company rolls out, there’s yet another way to get around it. Most of the known exploits remain firmly closed once Apple addresses them, but the surprising release of an iOS 12.4 jailbreak over the weekend highlights one of the rare cases in which Apple seems to have reopened a glaring hole itself.

As noted jailbreak developer GeoSn0w chronicles in a series of tweets and a YouTube video, it seems that the jailbreak community has stumbled upon a serious misstep by Apple, and an exploit that allowed for jailbreaking on devices running 12.1.2 — but was patched in 12.2 and 12.3 — somehow works again on iOS 12.4. Yikes.
