The infamous Jake Blair development team recently demonstrated an untetherer for iOS 11.x. Here’s when the untethered jailbreak will be released.

Spicy is an upcoming untether package for iOS 11 developed by the Jake Blair development team. 

It is based on a new kernel vulnerability that Apple patched in iOS 12 before Electra jailbreak gained iOS 11.4.1 support. 

This untether package essentially writes a script, which fires each time you reboot, into the bootchain.

The Jake Blair development team posted the video below on their official YouTube channel.

While Spicy is a fully untethered jailbreak, it does have a few caveats. For instance, there’s a slight delay after the boot-up sequence while the tool runs some scripts in the background.

This results in significantly higher boot-up times as compared to stock firmware. Developers Siguza and Ben Sparkes want to speed things up but, again, no promises have been made. 

This is a monumental development, especially considering the fact that untethered jailbreaks have all but disappeared from the scene in recent years.

Some even consider untethers to be a thing of the past with all those stringent security measures Apple adds to its operating system on a regular basis.

Since a lot of users prefer a complete jailbreak experience of an untethered jailbreak, iOS 11 users will likely hold off on upgrading their Apple device to iOS 12.
