Cellebrite Premium documentation we published in May and which recently received a lot of media coverage was from April 2024. Someone has shared a newer version of the iOS table indicating Cellebrite caught up to iOS 17.5.1 or higher along with the iPhone 15 for the OS exploits.
It’s common for them to fall behind by a few months for new iOS and Android versions. Android and iOS have no secure way to automatically get devices back into Before First Unlock from After First Unlock as GrapheneOS does so attackers can simply wait until they have an exploit.
We’re currently waiting for one of our several sources to provide us with the new Android and iOS documentation. We aren’t going to post the leaked iOS table in this thread because we can’t confirm that it’s authentic yet. We should have the new documentation quite soon though.
It’s unfortunate that there was a whole bunch of secondary news coverage where it was misreported that Cellebrite was unable to exploit current iOS based on documentation from April 2024. It’s July 2024 now, and they’ve had months to restore the capabilities broken by an update.

I don’t think I’d call that “misreported”, just not up to date. It’s not like reporters knew there was a development in that area.
They are paid to research and report on a topic after all, so it would make sense for them to double check that everything is up to date.
