It's not entirely clear. Originally I believe it was only a couple features; a bruteforce for the PIN/auth and some kind of social engineering process that tricked the user into unlocking their phone. Only a few details have really leaked about it: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/06/22/iphone-hacking-tool-graykey-techniques-outlined-in-leaked-instructions https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/06/22/iphone-hacking-to... At the end of the day, it's really just a little grey computer with a serial cable attached. You could update it with any exploits you want, and I can only guess what they're using nowadays.

> and some kind of social engineering process that tricked the user into unlocking their phone I wonder if it could be as simple as letting somebody have "their phone", which actually isn't their phone but has been set up to look like it, then recording whatever pin they enter.

  It's some sort of Three Stooges bullshit like that, from what I remember hearing. It seems more advanced nowadays though, and it's always hard to tell what's being sold under-the-table to defense contractors like that.
