Long story short, my husband got forcibly conscripted around a week ago while doing shopping. Yesterday I was able to take his belongings, including iPhone 14 Pro Max (personal mobile phones aren’t allowed for conscripts), that was originally jailbroken and on iOS 16.0. However, when I got it it was on the white “swipe up to upgrade” screen and after entering his passcode, I saw that it is now on iOS 18.5. I literally have no reason why would anyone do this and it’s not like they were trying to erase any data. But the question is: can anything be done at this point, or is his phone now forever screwed?
