Jailbreak Types Explained: š Semi-Untethered (e.g., Dopamine, unc0ver) - Device boots normally after restart - Run an app ON your device to re-jailbreak - No computer needed after initial setup - Most convenient for daily use š Semi-Tethered (e.g., palera1n, checkra1n) - Device boots normally after restart - Need a COMPUTER to re-jailbreak each time - More stable, supports newer iOS - Best for devices with checkm8 exploit āļø Untethered (rare nowadays) - Stays jailbroken even after restart - No action needed - always jailbroken - Very rare on modern iOS Recommendation: Semi-untethered if available, semi-tethered for latest iOS support.
