Prior to its recent release of the iOS 9.3.2 Jailbreak and iOS 9.3.3 Jailbreak, Pangu has not released an official jailbreak since the Apple iOS 9.2 was rolled out in March. And so is the other popular jailbreaking team TaiG. There was one Italian hacker by the name of Luca Tedesco, who claimed to have come out with a jailbreak for Apple iOS 9.2 and up but he has never made public his exploits.
The lack of official developments in the jailbreaking community gave Apple the bragging rights to claim that it has succeeded in its objective of making its iOS unjailbreakable since releasing the iOS 9 last year.
With the recent release of the iOS 9.3.3 Jailbreak tool from Pangu, the Chinese hacking team appears to have made a big statement not just to the jailbreaking community but to the Apple and its iOS development team.
Last month, the Chinese hacking team released a video showing a working jailbreak for the iOS 10 during the Mobile Security Conference held in Shanghai, China. The team from Pangu said that the software is still in its beta stage then but it showed that Cydia is working fine.
Showing a jailbreak for a future iOS whose beta has yet to be released at all is a big comeback statement from Pangu to the jailbreaking community, note critics.
Apple released the full version of the iOS 9.3.3 early this month after coming out first with several betas of the firmware update. And true enough, within a matter of days, Pangu officially released the iOS 9.3.3 Jailbreak tool.
