The history behind the tools to jailbreak the iPhone and iPad has become increasingly troubled in recent years, yet still today the hard work of researching exploits useful for the undoing of Apple devices has always paid off.
Those were the good days of iOS 13 when a group of hackers had found an “unpatchable” exploit that allowed a permanent jailbreak on the iPhone and iPad based on all the A-series chips up to the A11 Bionic. Then in 2021, a new tool brought the ability to jailbreak newer devices with iOS 14 installed, such as iPhone 12. Now the time seems ripe for the arrival of the first jailbreak tool compatible with iOS 15 and the current development is in the hands of a group of hackers known as the Odyssey Team.
Apparently work is already underway with the aim of expanding support for iOS versions up to 15.4.1, but this should take additional time as Apple is constantly introducing changes in iOS aimed at making the jailbreak process increasingly difficult. as new versions of its operating system are released.
For those unfamiliar with it, the jailbreak process is very dangerous unless you are a particularly savvy and geeky user, and it allows you to remove some inherent iOS software restrictions so that the user is able to access system files and introduce functional changes called tweaks, or the use of unofficial themes, as well as the sideloading of applications outside the App Store.
When released, Cheyote will be the first jailbreak tool that can be used with the iPhone 13 and iPad mini 6, as these devices were introduced just in conjunction with the arrival of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Of course only provided that the owners of these devices have been far-sighted and have avoided the rush to the latest software update, which in fact would prevent the downgrade to a previous version that could not be damaged by the Cheyote tool.
It is clear that the imminent official release of iOS 16 (September is not so far away), could make the jailbreak tool for iOS 15 less attractive, however, there is a niche of enthusiasts who will not miss the opportunity to use the tool. as soon as it becomes available. For now, there are no further details, but we will talk about them again very soon.
