Jailbreaks require 0 days. What’s amazing is that they keep coming out despite the prices being so high and the game already having been played for so long.

Just a shame it won’t be in iOS 15.

Most exploits used in a jailbreak are developed only after a public patch for the underlying bugs appears.

Once the patch is publicly available, an exploit has much less commercial value. (Attackers don’t like having to call their target and tell them not to apply the patch.)

It therefore makes sense to donate such exploits for a jailbreak.
