iOS 9.3.2 Jailbreak Update Release Date News: Success Claimed by New Group, Along With June 10 Release
A new hacker group has claimed to have successfully done what long-time trusted jailbreakers Pangu and TaiG haven't been able to do so far: create a working, untethered iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak. Here are the details.
iOS 9.3.2 Jailbreak Claimed
Apple released iOS 9.3.2 on May 16, with bug fixes and enhancements in tow, like the ability to use Low Power Mode and Night Shift at the same time, along with fixes to some Bluetooth compatibility errors.
Jailbreak fans were cautioned not to upgrade to iOS 9.3.2, because since Apple rolled out iOS 9.1, successful hacks of later versions of the mobile operating system beyond iOS 9 have been nonexistent.
Release Date Before WWDC 2016
Now a previously unknown hacker group going by the name "GSMagic" have claimed to be on the cusp of an iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak, which according to N4BB is expected to be ready for release on June 10.
That's three days before WWDC 2016, which is a timeframe that had been talked about (or at least hoped for) in the rumor mill around an iOS 9.3 jailbreak.
Skepticism and Frustration
Of course, it's not recommended that anyone, except maybe those with the development talent and a brickable iPhone to spare, be the first to try out a claimed new jailbreak -- especially from an unknown quantity like "GSMagic."
There's plenty of reason to be skeptical about the supposed iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak, especially since Pangu and TaiG seem unable to get anything going, themselves. And even more so because even though they haven't released any provable evidence on their iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak, GSMagic is already confidently claiming it will work on iOS 9.3.3 as well.
But there is at least one case in which a developer seems to have successfully come up with a working, untethered, iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak, as Neurogadget reported. What's frustrating is that the hacker, the credentialed Italian developer Luca Todesco, said he would not release the tool because he doesn't want to encourage piracy. He also has reportedly already jailbroken the first beta of iOS 9.3.3, adding to the community's envy and ire.
In the meantime, be skeptical of unproven jailbreak claims from unknown quantities, and just be patient and don't upgrade to iOS 9.2 or beyond for now.
