“If you’ve been eagerly waiting for the iOS 11 jailbreak, then we have some good news,” Gautam Prabhu reports for iPhone Hacks.
“Earlier today, Liang Chen of Tencent Keen Lab has demonstrated the world’s first jailbreak for iPhone X running on iOS 11.1.1 at POC 2017, the security and hacking conference in South Korea,” Prabhu reports. “At the moment it is not clear if the jailbreak will be released but based on the type of event, we don’t expect Chen to release the jailbreak.”
“However, the great news is that the latest version of the iOS 11 software, which was released yesterday can be jailbroken,” Prabhu reports. “The fact that iPhone X can be jailbroken would mean the vulnerabilities used by Liang Chen could be used to jailbreak most iOS 11 compatible devices.”

MacDailyNews Take: We wouldn’t hold our breath waiting for an iOS 11 jailbreak.
Are there people still really wasting there time on this stuff.. There are no significant benefits and a good potential to screw up your iPhone, why bother..
I was wondering the same thing. You want to tinker, get an Android.
I get why security professionals would waste their time on this stuff. All the stuff I needed iOS 2, 3, 4, & 5 to be jailbroken for have long since been fixed.
You’re kidding right?
This is guerrilla engineering. Apple undercover is in the audience taking notes. Prolly the CIA as well.
Good stuff comes out of these little gatherings, like faces.
Is jailbreaking still a thing? 😄😄
Sure, it’s called pushing the envelope… Apple loves this cat & mouse game; machine learning.
If only there’s a way to change the hosts file without jailbreak
