Odyssey Team, a well-known group in the community crochet announced the previous development first jailbreak for iOS 15Apple’s latest stable operating system for iPhone mobile phones.

In case you are not familiar with this type of technique jailbreaknote that it allows break the closed environment which Apple imposes on its ecosystem and squeezes the iPhone’s potential without the company’s limitations. Similar to Android rooting, it allows full access to the iOS operating system and installation of apps, themes or games outside the official store and other blocked functions.

It must be said that jailbreak then it loses users a “screw” that Apple put in the code in the latest iOS versions and patches it rolls out to stop it. The developer community was losing interest in the face of greater difficulty, and the closure of some of the biggest app repositories ended the golden age of these tools.

Not even a threat “warranty void” and “security issues” cited by the Cupertino firm, although it should be clarified that these techniques are completely legal under the norm Digital Millennium Copyright Act and that the security aspects are like everything else, it depends on what the user does, and even the official stores are not free of malware.

First jailbreak for iOS 15

That said, it must be said that there are millions of users who are still using these techniques. Until now, the latter were effective for iOS 14 and earlier versions of the operating system. But the development of the first for iOS 15, the latest version, has just been announced.

Under the code name ‘Cheyote’, the development is the responsibility of the Odyssey Team, one of the most famous groups. “Breaking out of prison in itself makes good progress, and we hope to be able to implement it in the near future with support for iOS versions 15.0-15.1.1 at launch, while we look at the ability to do so in the latest version 15.4.1″explained the person in charge of the reddit group.

The technique used and any vulnerability is unknown. It should be said that jailbreak implies a privilege escalation which usually works by exploiting security flaws in iOS to give users root access and full control. It must be said that although the security of the device remains intact, root access allows you to install alternative software, so extreme measures against malware must be taken. They promise more iOS 15 jailbreak information coming soon.
