After weeks of teasing, CoolStar and his team finally released Taurine iOS 14 – iOS 14.3 jailbreak for all iPhones and iPad. If you have not already jailbroken your iPhone using Unc0ver, here’s how you can use Taurine jailbreak to do so.
There’s no major difference between Taurine and Unc0ver jailbreak. Both support jailbreaking iOS 14 – iOS 14.3 all old and new iPhones and iPad. The only key difference here is that Taurine uses Sileo as its package manager, while Unc0ver uses Cydia.
Like Unc0ver, Taurine is also a semi-tethered jailbreak tool. This means you’ll have to re-jailbreak your iPhone or iPad after rebooting it. Thankfully, the entire process can be done right from your phone, and you only need access to a PC or Mac for installing the Taurine app on your iPhone the first time around.
