That's unfortunate for the jailbreaking community (as mentioned in the article, 13.5.1 patches out the kernel exploit used by unc0ver to jailbreak). It's a shame Apple has to be so hostile to its users. I got my SE1 for the express purpose of jailbreaking when it was no longer supported by updates; I get the perks of having a customizable media player with a headphone jack with none of the downsides (cheap build quality) that plague the MP3 players on Amazon, plus I can use it as a smartphone too. I guess until the community manages to crack 13.5.1 - or, even better, whatever iOS version formally marks the end of the iPhone SE1 and 6S's support - users will just have to wait.

I jailbroke on 13.5 with unc0ver and it really is worth it, even nowadays. It opens up a world of customization and lower-level system utilities. It's a shame the tools to do so don't work with Linux - in order to keep the apps on your phone you need to "refresh" them using AltStore, which only works on macOS and Windows - but I believe the jailbreak patches your phone so that it no longer automatically updates iOS, so you don't just end up with a brick when Apple pushes a new one.
