At the time of writing, the team is testing its iOS 13.5 jailbreak with a few people, who have shared screenshots on Twitter.

The benefits of using an iOS 13.5 jailbreak would be the ability to install tweaks and utilities that Apple would not allow on App Store. Such tweaks not only improve the usability of the device, they also often become an inspiration for Apple as features for future iOS updates.
unc0ver is not the only popular jailbreak for iOS. checkra1n is another popular tool, which uses the checkm8 exploit, however, it is only available for macOS.
