Apple’s release of the final version of iOS 9.3.3 doused all hope of seeing an iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak as most hacking groups find themselves scampering to get jailbreaks for the remaining two operating system versions.
The logical choice right now is to work on an iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak and Pangu has made a bold announcement by revealing that one will be coming out “very soon”. The Pangu Team issued that announcement on Twitter. Based on the post, it could be a number of tools ranging from iOS 9.2 to 9.3.3.
iOS 9.3.3 Jailbreak Chinese Version already out?
According to 9to5Mac, there is actually a Chinese version of the tool already available – a tethered semi-tethered jailbreak. But the case is different from US tool versions so until a working jailbreak does come out, all of that is up in the air.
iOS jailbreak before or during Black Hat USA 2016?
Seeing that Pangu has announced such, the jailbreaking community is expectedly in a bit of a frenzy once more. The hacking group started July in a big way when they revealed that slideshow at MOSEC 2016 showing three iOS jailbreaks for 9.3.2, 9.3.3 and 10.
One of those, iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak, has been taken out with the iOS 9.3.3 final version release. With only two operating systems to prove their worth, Pangu was expected to work double time. The pressure is on especially knowing Apple is expected to release the iOS 10 this Fall as mentioned in a previous post.
The announcement gained over 4,900 likes and 4,200 retweets though worth noting is seeing an actual jailbreak in the open. Nothing followed the iOS 9.3.1 jailbreak and hopefully Pangu can back this claim (or tweet) this time around.
Hopefully the alleged iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak will come out before Black Hat USA 2016, something set to kick off on July 30. Pangu may be hinting at a jailbreak coming this week or at the event itself where it will be holding a talk.
