This is awesome news! It isn't a jailbreak in and of itself, but it is the first step.

Right now we only have a reliable jailbreak (checkm8) for up to iOS 18 (and that's only thanks to one iPad model). Some app developers are pretty aggressive about dropping support for older iOS versions.

This affects iPhone XR, XS, 11, SE 2nd gen, and a smattering of iPads. Many of these devices got the iOS 27 beta and will likely see future iOS versions for at least another year or two.

Edit: here's the affected iPads:

* iPad Pro 11" (gen 1-2)

* iPad Pro 12.9" (gen 3-4)

* iPad mini (gen 5)

* iPad Air (gen 3)

* iPad (gen 8-9)

Reboot your phone after the feds have it before you unlock it again

Once the feds have the phone, they aren't going to allow him to touch it, much less reboot it.

		They have to reboot it to use a bootloader exploit. Reboot it again after you get it back to erase whatever they did.
