    How will be iOS 15 Checkra1n jailbreak

    Checkra1n team is still working on adding iOS 15 semi-tethered jailbreak support for Checkra1n. Hence Checkm8 exploit can not be patchable via software update; it must work on every iOS version including iOS 15.   

    We are all aware of Apple’s signed system volume (SSV) security mechanism introduced with iOS 15. Therefore, a lot of work is required to go through the new security mitigation. The jailbreak experts said checkra1n will be going rootless as a solution sometime back.

    On iOS & iPadOS 15, checkra1n could try to use bind mounts instead of union mounts, since union mounts are essentially obsolete and Secure Shell (SSH) access has already been sorted out for latest operating systems.

    Rather than going rootless, the checkra1n team would try to get around Apple’s SSV security mechanism by creating a new volume for everything that can’t be bind mounted. Because the root folder would be inaccessible during a jailbreak, this volume would effectively become the new rootFS.

    Predictions

    • It will be quite similar to the older versions of Checkra1n.
    • It won’t support the iPhone’s launch after the iPhone X such as iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11, iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max, iPhone Xr
    • It will only be available for macOS initially. The Windows and Linux version will be released soon.
    • Checkra1n’s default package manager is Cydia package manager. Support for other packages will be available soon.
