Hackers Jailbreak iPhone 18 Pro on Stage, and It Survives a Reboot
Summary
Calif.io demonstrated an untethered jailbreak on an iPhone 18 Pro running iOS 27.0.1 at the Hexacon security conference. Video showed the phone rebooting and then opening a root-level SSH session, indicating the jailbreak persisted across restart. The method and vulnerabilities have not been disclosed, and no public tool is available; Calif says details will be released later. Apple has not commented. A root-access exploit chain on a current iPhone could enable extensive control and may be attractive to spyware vendors, but Apple typically patches such flaws once informed.
