Hackers Demo Untethered iPhone 18 Pro Jailbreak at Hexacon Paris

An untethered jailbreak that survives reboot is a meaningful escalation in iOS exploitation, since recent public work has largely been tethered and short-lived. The immediate audience is security researchers and the jailbreak community, but the same class of vulnerability matters to anyone relying on iOS device integrity in custody or enterprise settings. The open question is whether Calif discloses the bugs to Apple or releases tooling — that choice determines whether this stays a conference demo or becomes a durable capability.
