We have only had a single jailbreak in 2017 and jailbreaking is fast becoming obsolete. Here’s the best iPhone you can buy to enjoy your piece of jailbreak pie.

Which iPhone is good for jailbreaking?

In 2017, all devices including iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus have a jailbreak. As a rule of thumb, it’s always recommended to buy the latest jailbreakable iPhone.

This means you must get hold of an iPhone 7. However, this is not the case this time around.

For those who don’t know, Yalu jailbreak for iOS 10-10.2 is a bit unstable and can result in frequent reboots, kernel panics, and other glitches.

Therefore, we must resort to older devices that are more stable with Yalu.

Here is my list of devices in contention for the tag of best jailbreak iPhone in 2017.

• iPhone SE

• iPhone 6s 

• iPhone 6s plus

According to me, iPhone 6s plus is the best of the lot. Here are three reasons why iPhone 6s plus is still kicking all kinds of ass in 2017, two years after its release.

3 reasons why iPhone 6s Plus is the best jailbreaking device

1. Stable jailbreak

This is, by far, the biggest reason why I recommend iPhone 6s plus to anyone who wants to jailbreak.

Yalu102 is extremely stable on iPhone 6s plus – just a few taps and your smartphone will be jailbroken.

You can also use Cydia Extender to make it fully untethered. Here are a few jailbreak tweaks you can use for this purpose –

• Ext3nder

• Extender: Reloaded

2. Good App Compatibility

Although iOS 10 is semi-untethered, you will need to make a compromise for better app compatibility.

A lot of apps no longer support iOS 10. Comparably, all applications and games are compatible with iOS 10 and will remain for the time to come.

This can be attributed to the fact that a lot of devices can’t upgrade to iOS 11. Things will only begin to change once Apple releases iOS 12, rendering legacy devices incompatible.

3. Powerful Hardware

It comes with Apple A9 SoC and a powerful dual-core 1.84 GHz processor. Performance wise, it is just as powerful as the iPhone 7.

Even if you install tons of tweaks, it won’t slow down a bit. Users can easily run a mammoth 150 Cydia tweaks without slowing down the device.

Moreover, you can upgrade it to iOS 11 whenever you feel like. It is fully compatible with all versions of iOS 11 and you won’t experience slowdowns.
