An iPhone 5s running an iOS version that can be jailbroken (ideally iOS 10.x or iOS 9.x). Note: CoolBooter compatibility varies on iOS 11 and 12 due to changes in 64-bit jailbreaks.
An untethered downgrade behaves like a normal factory operating system. You can power the phone off and on, drain the battery completely, and reboot it without needing a computer. Method 1: The Dual-Boot Option (CoolBooter)
iPhone 5s has the Checkm8 bootrom exploit (permanent, unpatchable). However, Checkm8 alone cannot bypass SEP requirements for iOS 7. It enables:

This is the easiest and most official method, but it requires that Apple is currently "signing" the iOS 7 firmware for the iPhone 5s. In the past, Apple has briefly and accidentally opened signing windows for older iOS versions (e.g., for an hour in 2018). If such a window ever reopens, this is the method to use.
