PaleRa1n Jailbreak is the true successor for the well-known checkra1n jailbreak for the A11 and lower devices, also known as the checkm8-compatible devices.
This jailbreak supports tweaks, and while Cydia is dead and this jailbreak doesn’t come with it, it comes with Sileo Package manager which is better. The jailbreak also has Procursus Bootstrap and is the only iOS jailbreak currently to support iOS 16 all the way up to iOS 16.3.1 with iOS 16.4 support in progress.
PaleRa1n-C is the biggest rewrite released for PaleRa1n jailbreak and it completely moved the infrastructure from bash scripts to a proper C program with several improvements, stability fixes, and enhancements.

Legacy PaleRa1n is now deprecated
Earlier this week, the PaleRa1n team developers carried out some important changes to the official PaleRa1n Jailbreak website and they announced that legacy PaleRa1n (the bash script version) is now considered deprecated.
According to Nebula and the rest of the PaleRa1n team, users should migrate to PaleRa1n-C from now on as it provides a much more stable and reliable jailbreak experience. The legacy version of PaleRa1n will no longer be maintained and updated going forward.
Users are advised to upgrade to the PaleRa1n-C rewrite to benefit from the latest updates and features as they get rolled out into the public jailbreak.
iOS 16.4 support on PaleRa1n Jailbreak
As far as we can tell, iOS 16.4 support is still not present due to issues with mounting the file system. The PaleRa1n team is currently working on bringing iOS 16.4 support, and the v2.0.0 beta 5 update already added iOS 16.4 fixes such as the fact that the kernel patchfinder does not crash on 16.4 anymore. This is a good improvement.
