iOS 9 Jailbreak News: Hackers Struggling to Find Jailbreak Solution for iOS 9, 9.1
The jailbreak community is still trying to find a way to create a jailbreak tool for iOS 9 and the upcoming iOS 9.1 and have been struggling to do so.
Hackers are scrambling to get past the increased security added to iOS 9, which seems to make jailbreaking the operating system almost impossible. Hacker groups who have found vulnerabilities and created jailbreak tools for older operating systems have been mostly unable to get past the security in iOS 9, Neurogadget reports.
Public beta testers and developers have already been given previews of iOS 9.1 and the jailbreak teams of TaiG and Pangu are said to be working on a jailbreak solution for that operating system as well. Both TaiG and Pangu have not confirmed this yet though.
To receive the beta of iOS 9.1, beta testers have to create a profile on Apple's public data website. This could prevent hackers who want to remain anonymous from updating to these beta versions. Apple has the power to limit the amount of testers that it allows access to these beta versions.
There has only been one successful jailbreak of iOS 9 and that is by a YouTube user who says that he will not release a public version of the jailbreak tool. iH8sn0w proved that it was possible to jailbreak iOS 9, but has no plans on creating a public version of it.
Until a reliable public jailbreak for iOS 9 or iOS 9.1 is created, the jailbreak community has been urged to not update their devices to iOS 9 or iOS 9.1. Jailbreakers should stay with iOS 8.4.1 because once they upgrade to iOS 9 or iOS 9.1, they will not be able to downgrade back to iOS 8.4.1 and their device will no longer be jailbroken.
The jailbreak community is hard at work at trying to create a jailbreak tool for iOS 9 and iOS 9.1, but the public will have to wait until a reliable tool has been created.
