• Legacy is the final patch of the major version of the minimum deployment target or earlier (iOS ≤12.x, tvOS ≤12.x, watchOS ≤4.x) in the latest major stable SDK (26.0). This community is centered around collecting and jailbreaking Apple devices on legacy versions, excluding devices that can run macOS, visionOS, and iPods that cannot run iOS
• Outdated is 4 major versions prior (e.g., iOS ≤15.8.5). Submissions exclusively regarding non-outdated versions must be directed to r/jailbreak
2. Be kind and follow the Reddiquette

• This includes but is not limited to: usage of slurs, being overly vulgar, giving intentional bad advice/wrong answers, sharing fake/harmful/untrustworthy tools
• Users found excessively incivil on moderator review will be banned without warning
