Mobile Forensics Firm Cellebrite Cannot Unlock Any iPhone Running iOS 17.4 Or Higher, Highlighting Apple’s Continued Efforts In Improving Device Security
Apple has persistently pushed forward to ensure that its devices, particularly iPhones, are tough to crack, even when stressed by well-established companies such as Cellebrite, an Israeli digital intelligence entity that specializes in tools designed to unlock smartphones. Thanks to information revealed in leaked documents, iPhones running iOS 17.4 or higher cannot be unlocked by Cellebrite. Given that iOS 18 was recently previewed at Apple’s WWDC 2024 keynote, it is likely that the majority of iPhone owners have installed some version of iOS 17.
