JailBreak iOS 15–16

Before we begin, please note that jailbreaking can void your warranty, introduce security risks, and impact the stability and performance of your device. Proceed with caution and consider the consequences.

Step 1: Download the Necessary Files

1.3 Download the Palera1n ISO file according to your computer’s architecture (amd).

Please note that this guide is only applicable to devices with up to an A11 bionic chip.

Step 2: Prepare the Bootable Flash Drive
