At the POC2017 event in Seoul, South Korea, iOS hacker Liang Chen has demonstrated the first-known jailbreak to date on Apple’s flagship iPhone X handset. A full video showcasing the jailbreak tool and code injection can be seen down below.
Unbelievably, Chen was running iOS 11.1.1 on his iPhone X upon jailbreaking, which Apple just released the update yesterday. As for details about the jailbreak, it's scanty as of right now, but it’s likely a type of semi-untethered jailbreak akin to the likes of the latest Pangu and Yalu jailbreaks to surface in recent years.
While we don’t expect Chen to release a public jailbreak for iOS 11.1.1 and iPhone X, it is certainly reassuring to know that both iOS 11.1.1 and iPhone X, which is powered by a new A11 Bionic chip are jailbreakable. Still, it brings some much-needed inspiration to the jailbreak community amid the departure of so many vital developers and hackers as of late.

Although We may never actually see this particular jailbreak make it to the light of day from a public release perspective, but imagine a wave of new tweaks taking advantage of Face ID and gestures on iPhone X? Now that would be awesome to have. Let's just hope that this is just a start of something bigger to come for general consumers.iOS 11.1.1 jailbreak by Liang Chen from Keen Lab. pic.twitter.com/WLI07Us5pV— vangelis (@vangelis_at_POC) November 10, 2017
