Key features of MisakaX:

• Dynamic Island Notch

• Action Button
• iPadOS apps Install
• Charge Limit Option

iOS 17.7 & Higher Jailbreak Status (2025)

No public jailbreak exists for A12–A17 devices. Only older iPads with A10 chips can be jailbroken using checkm8-based tools like Palera1n. Due to hardware patches, A12+ devices remain completely unjailbreakable.

We can expect many online jailbreak solutions for future device customization.

These solutions are more beneficial than traditional jailbreaks because they pose no security risks, protect your warranty, and allow everyone to install iOS modifications in a user-friendly manner.
