However, through unremitting efforts, the palera1n team recently released a jailbreak tool that is not only compatible with iOS 15, but also compatible with iOS 16.

On iOS 16, the device must have never had a passcode set since restoring (only on A10+, A9 is not affected), and dev mode must be enabled.
Jailbreaking removes software restrictions on an iOS device, allowing users to access and modify system files, allowing for various customizations and app sideloading, among other features. Of course, Apple has always opposed jailbreaking its devices.
The palera1n jailbreak is based on checkm8, a vulnerability discovered back in 2019. The vulnerability is considered "unfixable" because it was found in the bootrom of Apple's A5 to A11 Bionic chips.
Of course, Apple could change other parts of the system to prevent hackers from exploiting the flaw, but the company can't implement a permanent fix on older devices.
According to the developer behind the palera1n jailbreak tool, the jailbreak tool works on any version of the operating system from iOS 15.0 to iOS 16.2, which has just been officially released, and it's unclear whether the tool will also work with iOS 16.3, which was released today. Beta.
However, the list of devices capable of running iOS 16 affected by the checkm8 vulnerability is not large. Here are the iPhone and iPad models that can be jailbroken with palera1n on iOS 16:
- iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
- iPhone X
- iPad 5
- iPad 6
- iPad 7
- iPad Pro (1st and 2nd generation)
AndroBliz learned that the team warned that the jailbreak tool is still experimental and is mainly for developers. And the jailbreaking process is quite complicated, requiring a Linux or Mac computer, and only a few feature tweaks are currently compatible with iOS 16.
