iOS 12.1 Jailbreak Available for the New iPhones

Jailbreaking used to be essential for iOS users, but as iPhones evolved and Apple improved its security, jailbreak began to become impossible to realize. For a long period of time developers were not able to jailbreak the latest iOS versions. However, at one point iOS 10 was finally cracked, and it seems that the jailbreaking community has not stopped since.

Recently we received some major news. It appears that developers managed to crack the latest iOS version, iOS 12.1, on the latest iPhone released, iPhone XS Max. This is something that appeared impossible just a couple of weeks ago.

iOS 12.1 jailbreak

Liang Chen, a Tencent KeenLab researcher was the one who managed to crack iPhone XS Max on iOS 12.1. He made the big announcement on Twitter, giving jailbreak fans hope once again. Nonetheless, if you are hoping to use this jailbreak for this device, you shouldn’t celebrate the news already.

We don’t know for sure whether Liang Chen is going to make the jailbreak available for the public. There are many researchers who decide not to share their codes with the public. In fact, releasing them to the public is not the most profitable option for them. They can choose to report the vulnerabilities they found to Apple, or they can sell the codes to third-party developers.

What does jailbreak do?

Even if Chen does not release his jailbreak, it is proof that it is possible to crack iPhone XS Max on iOS 12.1, which means that we might get the jailbreak in the future. You can jailbreak your phone if you want to remove all the limitations set by Apple. With jailbreak you can use features which you can’t get otherwise, and you can customise your device any way you want to.
