Before the official rollout of the iOS 9 in September, Apple has claimed that its latest mobile OS is unjailbreakable, a word that the jailbreaking community finds absurd, if not ridiculous.
Regardless of the claims of Apple that its iOS cannot be jailbroken, the Chinese jailbreaking teams from the likes of Taig and Pangu, among a few others, simply have what it takes to do it. While jailbreaking iOS before often takes days, nowadays, it is just a matter of hours.
And often, it is not just the jailbreaking teams from Taig and Pangu who are doing it. Some hackers have also learned the trick. And once they share it to the internet via Taig or Pangu, it becomes open to anyone who has an iOS device.
Because Apple was somehow shamed by the jailbreaking community when it said that iOS 9 cannot be jailbroken yet days later, a Pangu iOS 9 jailbreak came along, it had to redeem itself and took away the exploit by immediately releasing the iOS 9.1.
But as expected, the iOS 9.1 was jailbroken again so Apple had to keep the cat-and-mouse game going by releasing the iOS 9.2.
The iOS 9.2 jailbreak immediately arrived shortly. So Apple had to rethink of another strategy to outsmart the jailbreakers.
What a joke, pretending your os is somehow above the rest and impregnable. Ok Apple, chuck the ego already.
On another note..One moment the disappearing pencil navigation functionality is because of bugs, and the next minute it’s them ‘refining behavior’.. so which is it? I’ll tell you why I think the story is inconsistent. Apple didn’t want the user community figuring out they were completely wrong about a stylus being useless for things like navigation..too much bad pr for them and a boon to their competition, the surface. So they tried to drop the functionality quietly. People screamed, and then they began calling it ‘bugs’ they resolved in order to avoid egg on their face.
Anyone comfortable with a company that will go to such lengths to restrict you and fool you, all so they can keep their laptop and tablet separate in order to keep selling twice the hardware? Not me!
