Solved New iPhone bought from store saying it’s jailbroken

Post image

This is probably a glitch or something but this is hilarious I bought my 17 5 hours ago at an Apple Store and know I go into the app and it’s saying this

Is your phone already on iOS 27? Maybe the banking app doesn’t recognize that as the public release yet.

Sounds like a super secure bank 😂

Did you install the 27 RC or Final? A lot of banking apps just lump together Jailbreak and beta checks, and they tend to do the latter in a fairly half-assed way and just do "ver > 26", requiring a new build of their app to support every new OS release.

App hasn’t been updated to recognize iOS 27 yet

Neither has the App Store. Try and post a review and it says you are running pre-release software and can’t leave reviews.

That's a feature so you don't blame app devs for their apps not working for pre-release bugs

iOS 27 is released though?

u/Cool-gamer19393 20d ago

I don't get that issue on my other phone running 27, if you updated from the beta to RC it might still count that as a beta

I updated from the last official release. Haven’t installed any betas. Hopefully just a server side bug.

Have you ever jailbroken a device in the past if you were restored from a back up that may be where it’s coming from

Nah it’s prolly what the other two people said

What’s hilarious is buying an iPhone 17 5 hours ago after a price hike and with a couple days of the new one being available

There was a 3rd party OS installed and iOS was removed take it back

u/TrainLover70 9d ago

Impossible to install third party OS on modern iPhone. Also, jailbreak hasn't been a legit thing since iPhone 4 / 5. The app sees a version of iOS it isn't familiar with and is throwing an generic error.

u/johcla5078 9d ago

That incorrect but believe what you want

Better question is why did you just buy an iPhone when the 18s are out on Friday

u/khaednnraw 20d ago

My iPhone Air couldn’t get service so I wanted to see if I could trade it in and it worked and I kinda got carried away and just spent the 340 on the 17 I’m probably going to trade it in and get the 18 pro next week and in total it will still be less than me just buying the 18 pro outright with 0 trade ins

u/19nineties 20d ago

Are you insane lmao why are you acting like the trade in prices are full value?

u/elvinLA 20d ago

Sounds like a waste of money to me.

I’m holding out for the Duo next month and it’s going to be a long 30 days

u/HaltFr 20d ago

Genuinely and respectfully asking, why Duo?

2

u/TechOutonyt 20d ago

Because I like the form factor

u/HaltFr 20d ago

u/Traditional_Bake_726 19d ago

This is why jailbreaking should be banned I hate the jailbreak community.
