In an unfortunate turn of events for the jailbreak community, it seems that Apple will not be supporting the iPad (7th generation) with this year’s release of iPadOS 26, which means that the last remaining checkm8 bootrom exploit-vulnerable device will no longer receive major software updates this year and that checkm8-based jailbreaks will not be able to pwn iPadOS 26.

Two firms that the jailbreak community is vividly familiar with have made it in the news this week after Israeli digital forensics company Cellebrite completed its acquisition of Corellium, a company renowned for its virtualization services that allow firms like Cellebrite to test their hacks and/or software on virtualized hardware, for $200 million.
In an interesting turn of events, iOS developer @skadz108, the same person who created the dirtyZero device customization toolbox based on Ian Beer’s CVE-2025-24203 security vulnerability, took to social media platform 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) on Thursday to share that they were working on a new project called Alpine.
