Note: Mobile forensics companies typically don’t release their tools or details about which iPhone models they can crack, often using vague terminology in marketing materials. The documents disclosed this time were shared by Cellebrite with customers, showing that in this "cat and mouse" game, Apple continues to fix vulnerabilities, while hackers and these forensic companies continue to find new vulnerabilities. According to the disclosed document details, Cellebrite is currently unable to crack locked iPhones running iOS 17.4 and later. The document states that it is "under research," which means that Cellebrite's tools cannot be used to unlock iPhones. For iOS 17.1 to iOS 17.3.1, Cellebrite can crack the iPhone XR and iPhone 11 series. The document states that Cellebrite recently added support for the latest Supersonic BF [Brute Force] feature to these models, which claims to provide quick access to the phone. But for iPhone 12 and above models running these operating systems, Cellebrite says support is "coming soon."
