Some of the specs are high-end - like the SOC and battery - while others leave something to be desired (like the RAM). Still, for those who find a certain distaste in buying a Google phone to degoogle, there's finally another option.

This is the early stages of the story so there's not a lot of details at the moment, but we'll keep you updated as we hear more.

At this time there's virtually no real information, but this story is a reminder that nothing is unhackable. We await further details. [iPhone Jailbreak Gets Past Lockdown Mode and Survives an UpdateJust over a week after jailbreaking an iPhone Duo on launch day, hacker team Calif is back with another jailbreak demonstration. This time, the group has jailbroken an iPhone in Lockdown Mode, and the jailbreak appears to persist across an iOS update. Calif shared a video of a jailbroken iPhone 18 Pro with Lockdown Mode on. From there, iOS 27.2 is installed, and the jailbreak remains in place after the update.![](https://www.privacyguides.org/content/images/icon/favicon-32x32-7b6546f5-180c-452c-88bd-1f06a92b1972.png)MacRumorsJuli Clover![](https://www.privacyguides.org/content/images/thumbnail/Lockdown-Mode-Feature-23da4bf8-65a5-41b9-863e-764af20f8c3e.jpg)](https://www.macrumors.com/2026/11/03/iphone-jailbreak-lockdown-mode/) ### Apple to Scan for Every Photo and File Shared Through a Public iCloud Link for Harmful Content Apple has recently updated their policy to state that they will begin scanning public share links for "harmful content" in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS 27.3 and later. This will apply even if you have Advanced Data Protection enabled. It will *only* apply to files that you have set to share with "anyone with the link." However, Apple has not clarified much else, including what counts as "harmful content," when the checks take place, what the review process is like, and more.

This would require a lot of work (for a human at least), and can be defeated with some tools such as a high-pass filter, but it's a good reminder that sometimes what we upload can contain subtle clues we weren't expecting to share.
