Hackers show off jailbroken checkm8-vulnerable iPad and Apple TV running iPadOS 18 & tvOS 18 respectively
A lot of people are wondering if we’ll ever see a jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 18, and while we don’t have a crystal ball clear enough to give you a definitive answer, we will say that there’s at least a chance the iPad (7th generation) gets a jailbreak thanks to being susceptible to the checkm8 hardware-based bootrom exploit and being compatible with iPadOS 18 – the last checkm8-vulnerable iPhone or iPad meeting both of those criteria.
The reason this still works on the iPad (7th generation) is because the checkm8 hardware-based bootrom exploit can’t be patched by software updates, so all Apple can do is implement more security roadblocks that simply make jailbreaking susceptible devices harder to do, but persistent hackers will make their way through eventually.
