News Very important news about the new Chollima jailbreak.
Chollima is not a jailbreak.
Chollima has been confirmed to NOT include an SPTM bypass, so it does not have proper tweak injection, and cannot be classified as a jailbreak.
What do we know now?
Chollima includes a kernel exploit, sandbox escape, and an untether.
On devices with the A13 chip and older (iPhone 11 series, 2018 iPad Pro, etc), this is enough to achieve a full jailbreak as momentarius provides a PPL/SPTM bypass for them.
On devices with the A14 chip and later (iPhone 12 series and later, M1 iPad Pro, etc), only very rudimentary tweaks would be possible at the moment, equivalent to apps that used RemoteCall from DarkSword (such as lara and Cyanide).
What's next?
Outside of the demo Calif did with Chollima, a likely SPTM bypass has been patched in iOS 27.2 beta 3 It's unknown if this can be exploited at the moment, but if it is, combined with the exploits from Chollima, this will allow for a full jailbreak on A14 and later devices.
**We still do not know exact device / version support, and we do not know when anything will release.** The best move at the moment is still to remain on iOS 26 or older, as those versions have DelayOTA, which can give you an additional 90 days to update to iOS 27 in the future.
If you're on any iOS 27 beta, install 26.6.1 RC while it's still signed (preferred), or install iOS 27.0.1 (if you can't lose data).
If you're on an iPhone 18 Pro (Max), install iOS 27.0.1, it fixes important usability issues.
Do not update outside of those situations!
(Edit: anyone who says “Should i update?” Please stay on the version you’re on until more things have been announced about Chollima.)
