Palera1n 1.4.2 update release to support jailbreak iOS 16.4 on older iPhone / iPad
CTOnews.com February 18, the Palera1n team released a 1.4.2 update today, adding jailbreak support for the developer preview version of iOS 16.4. However, this jailbreak is limited to iPhone and iPad models with A11 Bionic and previous chips, and does not apply to new models such as the iPhone 14.

In the process of improving Apple's iOS / iPadOS system, iPhone and iPad users are no longer as keen on jailbreaking as they used to be. But for some users, jailbreak can still bring them more free customization fun.
Palera1n jailbreak is based on checkm8, a vulnerability discovered as early as 2019. The vulnerability is considered "irreparable" because it was found in Apple's bootrom of bionic chips from A5 to A11. Of course, Apple can change the rest of the system to prevent hackers from exploiting the vulnerability, but the company cannot fix it permanently on old devices.
The devices supported in this jailbreak include:
IPhone SE
IPhone 6 / iPhone 6 Plus
IPhone 6s / iPhone 6s Plus
IPhone 7 / iPhone 7 Plus
IPhone 8 / iPhone 8 Plus
IPhone X
IPod touch 6
IPod touch 7
IPad mini 4
IPad Air 2
