The iOS 9.3.5 patch has proven to be of importance as the update will be able to patch a spyware that was reportedly used by a government trying to track down information from an internationally recognized human rights defender. IPhones need to be updated now, despite the imminent release of the iOS 10.
Pangu surprisingly released the hack for the iOS 9.3.4., until the tech giant also released its iOS 9.3.5 update leaving the Chinese programming group on their heels once more and jailbreak fans have wondered whether or not Pangu will hack this one too.
The new system upgrade may seem like a strategy to hinder groups like Pangu out of their game, but will actually be used to patch a type of spyware. The tech giant was alerted of the report from Citizen Lab and Lookout Security to devise a plan. The device hijacker is capable of monitoring one's movements remotely like stalking. In response, the iOS 9.3.5 was made.
A few weeks ago, there were debates about the necessity of the iOS 9.3.4 since the iOS 10 is almost ready for release, according to Vine Report. The new system is expected to be released alongside the new iPhone early in September.
Apple may also stop releasing another patch since Apple may need to focus on developing its new line of operating systems. However, due to the unfortunate event that prompted Apple to device the iOS 9.3.5, an update has been made to be of necessity for all iOS 9 devices.
The iOS 9.3.5 patch has been released, but for the die-hard jailbreak users, Pangu's iOS 9.3.4 hack is still usable for iPhone 4s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPads, and iPod touch, reports GamenGuide. Whether or not Pangu or any other similar entity will develop a hack for the iOS 9.3.5 remains to be seen.
