Apple iPhone and iPad users are waiting for an updated untethered jailbreak for iOS 8.3. They won't have to wait long, with a release date expected in July. However, with an iOS 8.4 update coming soon, Team K33N, TaiG, and possibly Pangu may focus on an untethered jailbreak for iOS 9 -- and to release it the same time Apple rolls out iOS 9.

The much-awaited untethered iOS 8.3 jailbreak, according to our previous report, has been recently previewed by Pangu, with the demo generating lots of excitement on Weibo and across the jailbreak community.

But the team has not announced plans to publicly release it yet -- this, at a time when the iOS 8.4 update seems imminent, not to mention the early fall release of iOS 9, which will definitely reset user jailbreaks.

Pangu might be strategically holding the release of its iOS 8.3 jailbreak, so Apple won't be able to patch it in the fresh release of iOS 8.4, instead having to wait until it releases iOS 9.

But that's not stopping Chinese Team K33N from planning to crack open Apple's newest mobile OS -- and making the iOS 9 untethered jailbreak available as soon as Apple releases the official version of iOS 9.

"We want to release it just after iOS 9, that's our plan," said one of the group's researchers, Liang Chen, to Forbes. "It depends how lucky we are."

While such an ambitious plan could be seen as all-talk from the newest (yet unproven) group in the iOS jailbreak community, K33N may reach out to collaborate with Pangu -- arguably the most popular iPhone-cracking group.

Chen, however, said K33N isn't keen on teaming up with TaiG, which is planning its own iOS 9 jailbreak.

Team K33N may be new to creating untethered jailbreaks for iOS, but it has a recent and respected history of cracking several other aspects of Apple mobile, including breaking Safari and winning Mobile Pwn2Own competitions for finding exploits in iPhones in 2013 and 2014.
