How to Jailbreak An iPhone on Mac?

Then you are in right place here. In this tutorial, we’ll be showing you how to use the checkra1n jailbreak tool to liberate a supported iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. For jailbreaking on Windows, please check here.

Prerequisites

You must be familiar with a few criteria before using checkra1n to jailbreak an iPhone:

• Currently, the program is only available for Linux and macOS (support for Windows is coming soon)
• The tool is semi-tethered, so if you turn it off you'll need a computer to restart jailbreaking.
• All 64-bit A5-A11 devices, including the iPad Air 2, iPad (5th generation), and iPad Pro (1st generation), are supported by the tool, with the exception of a few: the iPhone 5s, iPhone 5s, and iPhone X.
• iOS 12.0 or later must be installed on your device.
• The following devices are being tested with the tool: the iPhone 5s, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, and iPad Air.
• Cydia is pre-installed, however future updates may make alternative package managers optional.

Running iOS or iPadOS 14?

You should read the notes below to understand more about the security of jailbreaking with checkra1n if you're using iOS or iPadOS 14.

Currently, only A8, A8X, A9, A9X, A10, and A10X devices running iPadOS 14 or iOS are officially supported by checkra1n. This translates to the fact that you can jailbreak these devices without any restrictions and guarantee at least the same level of security as you would have otherwise. The following are all components of the aforementioned devices:

• iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7 and 7 Plus
• iPad 5th, 6th?and 7th?generations
• iPad Air 2
• iPad mini 4
• iPad Pro 1st?and 2nd?generations
• iPod touch 7

You can still jailbreak with checkra1n if you are on iOS or iPadOS 14 on an A11-equipped device, like as the iPhone 8, 8 Plus, or X, but there is a catch. Before jailbreaking, users must activate the "Skip A11 BPR check" option in the checkra1n app. The jailbroken device will start up after that without a passcode. Because it eliminates authentication and user security, this isn't advised for most users, but it might be a practical option for developers to test their work on a more recent device. It's unclear whether the checkra1n team will be able to resolve this inconvenience, but you should read our in-depth essay to learn more about what it means for you and what you can do to safeguard your data.

Without further ado, let's begin the jailbreaking process if you have a compatible device.
