The latest iPhone models that can be exploited include the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X devices (up to and including iOS 15.7). Exploiting a vulnerability in the bootloader of many Apple devices including several generations of iPhones, iPads, iPod Touch, Apple Watch and even Apple TV devices, checkm8 allows breaking into a device almost regardless of the version of iOS installed on these devices.

Delivering forensically sound checkm8 extraction and a new command-line driven user experience, the new release becomes the most sophisticated mobile forensic tool we’ve released to date.
