Step 1: Open one of browsers on your Mac and go to https://checkra.in/releases/#all-downloads to download the latest version of Checkra1n for macOS. After downloading, install the Checkra1n application on your Mac from the downloaded .dmg file.

Step 4: On the next page, click Start to proceed.
Step 5: Click Start again, and then immediately put the iPhone into DFU mode manually. The Checkra1n will prompt you how to enter DFU mode. You just need to follow the prompts on the interface.
For example, to put iPhone 7 into DFU mode, you first need to press and hold the Side and Volume down buttons together for 4 seconds, then release the Side button but keep holding the Volume down button for 10 seconds.
Step 6: Once the iPhone gets into DFU mode, Checkra1n will immediately start jailbreaking the iPhone. Just keep the iPhone connected and wait for the jailbreak to complete. If the iPhone asks for a passcode during the jailbreak process, please enter it.
Step 7: When Checkra1n shows "All Done", the iPhone has been jailbroken successfully.
