Apple has just released its latest mobile operating system update with the iOS 9.3.2. As if to tease the jailbreak community, which is still scrambling to publish public jailbreak of Apple’s latest iOS updates, the American tech giant did not put any security updates on the iOS 9.3.2.
Reputable Chinese jailbreaking teams Pangu and TaiG both claim that the new iOS can easily be jailbroken using both partial and full jailbreak methods.
Unlike before when both Pangu and TaiG publicly offers jailbreak tools including procedures on its respective website, what they are providing at the moment for the iOS jailbreak community are apps that could be used to jailbreak Apple devices running iOS 9.2 and up.
In short, there is currently no public jailbreak available for iOS 9.2, iOS 9.2.1, iOS 9.3, and iOS 9.3.1 so it is unlikely that one would come out soon for the just-released iOS 9.3.2, notes Redmond Pie.
Beating known jailbreakers to the draw
With Pangu, TaiG, and most in the iOS jailbreaking community scrambling to find ways and finally publishing a jailbreaking tool or tools to show to the public, the ray of hope came from Italian developer Luca Tedesco.
He has posted a video following the launch of the first iOS 9.3 beta in March that he has successfully jailbroken the system of an iOS 9.3 on an iPhone.
His video evidence also proved that iOS 9.3 and its subsequent update, the iOS 9.3.1 are both capable of being jailbroken. Since the new iOS 9.3.2 does not have security features built on it, it also follows that the iOS 9.3.2 can be jailbroken, not by anybody, but only by Luca Tedesco for now.
The problem is that Tedesco has made it clear a number of times that his jailbreak exploits are private and he has no plans of releasing it as a public jailbreak. It also showed the jailbreak community that Pangu, TaiG, and other known jailbreak developers were beaten to the draw.
Alternative jailbreak methods
Instead of publishing a public jailbreak tool which it does not have at the moment obviously, Pangu claimed on its website that the semi jailbreak and 3k partial jailbreak methods that it is using for iOS 9.2 and up will still work in jailbreaking the iOS 9.3.2, details the Vine Report.
TaiG, on the other hand, claims that it has a full method to jailbreak the iOS 9.3.2 using the TaiG9 v3.00 β2 app.
Both hacking teams also claim that since the iOS 9.3.2 brought no new features, working on jailbreaking methods is simplified.
For sure, the people at Cupertino in California are reserving their best smiles since not even the popular jailbreakers over at Pangu and TaiG have not able to come up with public jailbreak tools thus far.
Normally, a jailbreak exploit comes out in just a matter of days or even hours at some point upon the release of the latest iOS from Apple. However, in the case of the Apple iOS 9.3, it seems that the hacking community is having some difficulty cracking such.
Before the launch of the iOS 9 late last year, Apple claimed that its latest mobile operating system will be unjailbreakable.
It was actually a direct challenge by the American tech giant on the hackers to try and tinker with its OS, and surely, the hacking community did. They actually feasted on the iOS 9 immediately after it was rolled out.
True enough, a few hours after the iOS 9 came out, a jailbreak tool was already made available. But now it seems that it was just a ploy by Apple to see how the hackers react to its latest OS. Shortly thereafter, a small update in iOS 9.1 was released to fix a few things before iOS 9.2 followed.
