With hardly a week gone by after its latest jailbreak release, it seems that the Apple iOS jailbreak lovers have good news already. iOS 10.2 jailbreak is believed to be on its way.
Chinese programming team Pangu is said to have enabled jailbreaking for Apple iOS 10, providing maximized functionality for the company's newest gadgets like the iPhone 7.
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.
There is still no public iOS 9.1 or iOS 9.2 jailbreak tool available, but an Italian hacker claims to have successfully jailbroken both iOS 9.2.1 and iOS 9.3. The hacker has told his Twitter followers that he will not be releasing the tools to the public.

Apple has released iOS 8.4.1 which fixes several bugs and adds updates to the software built for iPhones and iPads. This is expected to be the last update to iOS before iOS 9 is released, and it does not look like there will be a jailbreak for it.
The jailbreak community has enjoyed the capabilities of the jailbreak software for both iOS 8.3 and iOS 8.4 since July 1. Now, Apple is expected to release an update to iOS 8.4 called iOS 8.4.1 that would mean there would not be the latest jailbreak solution available for the latest operating system.
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.
It is possible that an iOS 8.3 jailbreak solution could be coming very soon. The jailbreak was said to be demoed this past weekend at the Mobile Security Conference in Shanghai.
