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.
It's been a while since the iPhone jailbreaking community saw a new jailbroken version of iOS 9, but now a possible release of an iOS 9.3 jailbreak is being rumored -- and it could happen before the start of Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2016.
In a video purportedly demonstrating a working untethered jailbreak of iOS 9.2 on an iPhone 6, lone hacker "qwertyoruiop" claims the tool will work on iOS 9.2.1 and iOS 9.3 beta as well. Meanwhile, jailbreakers are still waiting on an official jailbreak tool release for iOS 9.2 and iOS 9.2.1 from Pangu or TaiG.
A jailbreak tool for iOS 9.2 is still not available and the availability of such a tool is being delayed. There is not much time for a jailbreak tool to become available because iOS 9.3 is right around the corner.
iOS 9.2.1 is still in its beta form. Apple is still in the beta version of iOS 9. 2. 1, but one hacker says he has already created a jailbreak for the operating system.

Now that iOS 9 is rolling out and available for download, the next question for many fans is: When can they get a customizable "jailbreak" version of iOS 9? Sadly, the safe answer seems to be: Have patience.
Apple iPhone and iPad users waiting for an the iOS 8.3 untethered jailbreak could expect a release date in July. But with an iOS 8.4 update soon, K33N, TaiG, and possibly Pangu may be focusing on cracking iOS 9 -- and to release it around the same time Apple rolls out its official iOS 9.
