Yes, the headline is clear and concise like the accompanying image. And is that the KeenLab team has managed to jailbreak the new iPhone XS Max running the latest version of OS iOS 12.1, which means that there are important exploits or vulnerabilities that we dragged into iOS from previous versions.
In this case, the person in charge of revealing the jailbreak for this device has been Liang Chen, a member of the Keen Safety Laboratory. The jailbreak world can be satisfied with the work done even though there are not so many teams working on its release anymore. On October 8, Luca Todesco, left us the news in which he seemed to have managed to jailbreak the iPhone XS Max with iOS 12, now it is Chen's turn, with iOS 12.1.
En a tweet launched a few hours ago By the author of this jailbreak he dropped the image with a: I will present it at POC 2018 on November 9:
iOS 12.1 + A12 == the end of iOS war? I will be presenting at POC 2018 this Friday with the latest iPhone XS Max pwn. @vangelis_at_POC @keen_lab https://t.co/lCtc1z3p4h pic.twitter.com/XWLDs24zIf

Now we can say that the jailbreak is still present in current devices and seeing its execution on the iPhone XS Max means that it would also be possible to install on other iPhone devices. On the other hand, as has become customary in recent times todo points out that the jailbreak will not be released publicly at the moment, so we put the honey on our lips but without letting us taste it. In any case, it is important news for jaibreak lovers and for Apple itself, which may be trying to get the information from the exploits to close this new jailbreak in the next version.
