According to Pulsestacks on April 9th, the GrayKey box has been upgraded to support cracking iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, as well as any iPhone models running the iOS 17 system, making it a coveted tool for law enforcement agencies in the United States. Recently disclosed documents reveal the associated purchase prices.
According to disclosed documents, the Fairfield Town Police Department in the United States paid $550 for the new equipment. Additionally, the documents reveal that a resolution passed at the town meeting in May 2023 allocated nearly $11,000 for the licensing of the new equipment.
Furthermore, the town police department covered the associated training expenses, with each employee undergoing training in the use of GrayKey hardware and software costing $300. The documents also include detailed promotional materials outlining the functionality of these devices.
The town police department paid nearly $11,000 for a license that allows 30 free unlocks to extract almost complete data from a target iPhone. Additional unlocks cost $3,845 each.
After extracting relevant data from iPhones, the system automatically generates reports for law enforcement, facilitating legal proceedings. Additionally, with the Turbo Brute Force feature, the speed of cracking iOS devices is further optimized. According to the documentation, this function can reduce the estimated time for each password by 33% to 43%, thus unlocking devices more quickly.
