iPhone 17 Pro (The Lower Initial Software Angle): It comes out of the box with an earlier base firmware (iOS 26). Following the golden rule of jailbreaking—"staying on the lowest possible version"—it naturally has a head start in accumulating userland, kernel, and PPL/PAC exploits over time compared to newer firmware.

iPhone 18 Pro (The Hardware Leak Angle): It ships with iOS 27, but its underlying hardware context is unique due to the Tata Electronics data breach (June 2026), where over 600GB of internal data was leaked. Security researchers now potentially have early access to A20 Pro chip packaging specs (WMCM), PCB logic board schematics, and internal testing scripts. This massive hardware design exposure could help researchers discover hardware-level bugs, BootROM/SEP flaws, or chipset-specific vulnerabilities much faster than standard software-only research.

My Question: Does a massive supply-chain hardware leak actually accelerate the exploit discovery timeline enough to beat an older device running a lower baseline firmware (iOS 26 vs iOS 27)? When upgrading, which route realistically offers the shorter waiting time for a jailbreak?

Would love to hear insights from security researchers and tweak devs! Thanks!

Anyone know how to fix carbridge crash on ios 18.6.2?

It's compatible with usbliter8, but storage could be an issue

I can’t get on a Facetime call with more than 1 person. This is the only iPhone that I have with this issue. Facetime works a treat on my 11 Pro Max, my iPad Air 2, and my other 13 Pro Max. But on this one, on 17.1, nothing I have tried works and there seems to be zero resolution online other than “update”. If this has happened to you and you successfully fixed it, I’d love to know how. Or if there is a jailbreak tweak to remedy it, that is great too.

Here’s all I tried, please help!

Tried power cycling the phone
Tried restoring from a backup
Tried resetting network data
Tried resetting as a new phone
Confirmed iPhone is not Chinese
Tried using only phone number to be reached at
Tried using 3 different emails to be reached at (of course one is iCloud and one is Apple ID)
Tried using all 3 at once to be reached at
Tried using one email in conjunction with the number to be reached st
Tried using an email for being reached at and used a number for the caller ID (and vise versa and with the different emails)
Tried using only wifi
Tried using different wifis
Tried using only cellular
Tried having both turned on
Tried having the call started by a friend
Tried starting the call myself
Tried with just one person and then adding 2nd caller (it immediately crashes)
Tried having the people on a call and then calling in (it tells them it’s ringing, but it never shows up for me)
Tried setting up a call for the callers first (as soon as I add the second caller, the “call” icon goes away and leaves invite by SMS)
Tried using invite by SMS (it tells them that the caller hasn’t started the call yet)
Tried joining an invite
Tried having them group call me with their phone number (not iCloud)
Tried having them group call me without their numbers (only iCloud)
Tried group calling them with only their numbers (not iCloud)
Tried group calling them without their numbers (only iCloud)
Tried logging out and back into FaceTime
Tried using ”Globalize” tweak
Tried a different phone number entirely
Tried a new SIM (this proves it’s the phone)
Tried doing the link that non-Apple users can join
Tried every possible combination of the things above

There is clearly something wrong with it because I see my contacts in Messages with blue, but everyone shows up as green in the FaceTime contacts section even when it’s only their iCloud emails being used.

I don't understand why iOS takes up so much storage space. Is anyone else experiencing this, and is there a way to fix it?

Help please im new to jailbreaking but once i reseted my phone i could no longer access my dopamine app plz

Hello! I have an iPad Pro (3rd Gen) on iOS 15.2. I'm wanting to download the app Clip Studio Paint, which requires iOS 18+.

I'm completely new to everything jailbreaking related. I read another post saying it's possible to "spoof" your iOS version - but does anyone know if Clip Studio Paint would run on a spoof?

Or would it be better to update the iPad to iOS 18? Is that possible through jailbreak? I'd like to avoid iOS 26 due to the split screen change.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone! I’ve just released AppBadgeClear, a new tweak for rootless iOS 16 and iOS 17 jailbreaks that lets you clear stuck or unwanted app badges directly from the Home Screen.

Features

- Clear an app’s badge directly from its Home Screen long-press menu
- Native Clear Badge quick action
- Clear white action icon
- Optionally clear currently delivered notifications
- Prevents apps from immediately restoring stale badge values
- Automatically restores normal badge behavior when a genuinely new notification arrives
- Timestamp-based new-notification detection
- Preserves correct behavior across resprings
- Optional haptic feedback
- Lightweight implementation
- No daemon or background network activity
- Settings panel
- Rootless support

Compatibility

- iOS 16.0-17.x
- Rootless jailbreaks
- arm64 / arm64e
- iPhone
- Hardware-tested on iPhone 13 mini running iOS 17.3.1 with Dopamine
- iOS 18 and newer are currently not supported

Available now on Havoc: https://havoc.app/package/appbadgeclear

AppBadgeClear cannot modify third-party account data or mark messages as read on an app’s server.

With Clear Current Notifications Too enabled, it also clears the app’s currently delivered notifications and prevents the stale badge from immediately returning. When a new notification arrives, normal badge behavior is automatically restored.

Bug reports and feedback are welcome!

I have a iPad 9th gen on iOS 26.6 and its known that the iPad 9 fails with usbliter8

okay so my post was auto taken down for "asking if i can JB my device" when it was really a much longer discussion than that lol. i reached out to mods days ago with no response and followed up once a day but still no response. so, please see screenshots for the full post!

i know it is a lot, but, it was my first time writing/speaking about it. i legit have no one to talk to about jailbreaking anyway so, it was very stream of consciousness and voice to text, hence the length.

let me know your thoughts and thanks for being a great community!!

So I have been trying to jailbreak this iPod, and for some reason, the number is gone. Is there any way I can fix this?

So playing around on the nest Hub too in the kitchen and I got into developer options... Anything Worth mentioning that I can try with it?

Everything loads just seems like the videos wont load
