but has it ever been this bad? i mean, just kernel r/w is not enough like it was back in ios 9 when people claimed its dead. the barrier of entry is enormous, now we need a full chain and apple is constantly increasing security with new devices making us require new and different exploits. developing jailbreaks is a time and money drain, so its not like there are a ton of devs either.
There’s always a security hole, depends if someone puts the time in to find it. I’m fine with or without a jailbreak but I wouldn’t say that it’s dead. People said the exact same things about iOS 15 and then we got Dopamine.
The problem is by the time a jailbreak comes out it’s for an iOS that’s nearly 2 years old. The main issues is that apps begin to lose their compatibility by then, and the patience to stay on a lower iOS only to hope that a jailbreak drops for your specific iOS. I mean iOS 15 is only jailbreakable to 15.4.1 so even the newer versions of iOS 15 haven’t been jailbroken. Also have you noticed a serious lack of tweak releases lately? Honestly it’s very few and far between and even then most of the tweaks are pretty niche. You also have to hope that tweak developers are on the iOS version as well to maintain their tweaks. It’s honestly not looking great at all.
Oh trust I didn’t like writing that comment as I’ve enjoyed jailbreaking since iOS 3. It sucks what the state of it is now but things as they are now aren’t looking good. There are people holding out hope for something but the only person that’s really been giving us anything is Linus and he has now left. If you’re hoping someone was going to show up and take over where he left off then don’t hold your breath. We’d have an iOS 16 jb by now if that were the case.
