Since he will start working in September, Apple would have already released iOS 11. It is likely that he will develop a jailbreak for iOS 11 firmware and newer devices.

He also hinted that it could take him more than 4 months to develop a jailbreak. The best we could do right now is to open a crowdfunding campaign to “lure” Comex in.

In all honesty, developing a jailbreak back then was relatively easier than today. Apple is aggressively beefing up iOS security by using using advanced techniques such as KPP.

Who is Comex?
Old-time jailbreakers are familiar with Comex. However, Comex is a new name for the new jailbreakers.
