iPad (WiFi, 9th generation) (iPad12,1)
2 jailbreaks available
What is Jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking is the process of removing software restrictions imposed by Apple on iOS, iPadOS, and other Apple operating systems. By exploiting security vulnerabilities, jailbreaking grants root access to the device's file system and allows software not authorized by Apple to be installed and run.
For iPad12,1, 2 jailbreak tools have been publicly released, covering iOS 15.0 – 16.5.1. Tools are available for iOS (Sideload required).
A tethered jailbreak requires a computer to boot the device every time it restarts. A semi-tethered allows the device to boot normally but without jailbreak active until re-applied. A semi-untethered lets you re-apply the jailbreak from an app on the device itself. A fully untethered jailbreak persists across reboots with no action needed - the most convenient type.
Pros
- Install apps and tweaks unavailable on the App Store
- Customise the UI appearance beyond Apple's defaults
- Remove pre-installed apps and bloatware
- Enable advanced features like SSH, theming, and sideloading
- Repair or recover data using file system access
- Run automation and scripting tools not allowed by Apple
Cons
- Voids Apple's warranty and may void carrier support
- Expands attack surface - malicious tweaks can steal data
- Can cause system instability, crashes, or battery drain
- OTA system updates are blocked or may break the jailbreak
- Apple Pay and some banking apps may stop working
- Risk of a bootloop requiring a full restore if something goes wrong
