The situation with jailbreak tools for Apple’s iOS is a bit strange at the moment. It’s commonly understood that as Apple release new versions of the operating system that address the various loopholes hackers use to circumvent its restrictions, new tools are made that attack the system in even more clever ways and in the end, it’s a cat and mouse game that Apple are generally seen as losing.
However, recently the tides have been turning for the company, as they seem to have come up with a pretty solid solution for the security of the latest major version of iOS. Currently, versions 9.1 and 9.2 of the OS are still not publicly broken, and it will likely be a while before we get our hands on any public tools for that. 9.3 is also supposedly still not cracked yet, but there are rumors that a developer from Italy has managed to bypass the restrictions in the new version of the operating system, and he has a working tool that’s not yet public.
So far, efforts from some of the most dedicated jailbreak developers out there have been unsuccessful, and both teams Pangu and TaiG have failed to produce any working jailbreak solution for the last versions of the operating system. Looking at the current trends, it might be a while before we see an actual working implementation too, as there aren’t even any serious rumors about such developments that have not been made public yet. The only exception is the same Italian developer.
All we have as proof of the successful jailbreak of iOS from his side is a screenshot supposedly showing a successfully jailbroken iOS 9.2.1, after which the author of the tool apparently also targeted the beta version of iOS 9.3, also successfully. That would mean that this single developer has managed to accomplish what both Pangu and TaiG have failed to do so far, and considering how prominent those two teams have traditionally been on the jailbreak scene, this seems a little hard to believe.
People have been questioning the legitimacy of his claims from another point of view as well – if he really does have access to working tools, why doesn’t he just release them already? Of course there are some legal implications that the Italian developer might be preparing to cover himself against before actually bringing the tools out on the market, but if he really does have a good solution on his hands, he should definitely hurry up and deliver it already as it would see a lot of popularity among users.
Many have been asking for a working jailbreak solution for the new version of the operating system for some time now, and there was even some worrying among fans that Apple might have finally figured out a way to stop jailbreaking for good. At the same time, many people were not convinced that this could even happen, as it’s generally accepted that any version of the operating system can be broken with enough time.
There has also been a revival in discussions about the future plans of Apple and whether it would make sense for the company to eventually allow jailbreaking as an official action that the users can perform with Apple-supplied tools. This would solve many problems of the community and also make the procedure overall safer and more straightforward, something which is a common issue right now.
End of the day apple should be thankful that users are buying there shitty iphones and ipads and they shouldn’t be telling people what to do as end of the day the users have bought the phone and if they want to jailbreak them then so be it its all down to apple out for the extra coin and there shite ios and there bloody updates . I would laugh if apple ends up not selling phones or ipads and then they will have brought it on themselves . End of the Day APPLE SUcks !!!!! over priced gadgets .
