Black Hat USA 2016 is just around the corner and now Pangu is on the clock. A half-baked iOS jailbreak did come out recently for 9.2 to 9.3.3 but everyone knows that it comes with some catches.
One is that the celebrated iOS 9 jailbreak is in Chinese and something that is ‘semi-tethered’. As mentioned in a previous post, the best iOS jailbreak to look forward to are the untethered versions which are applied only once.
This means that once an iPhone is restarted, users will have to hook it up to the computer once again and apply the crack, CNet reported.
Seeing no iOS jailbreak since 9.3.1, this may have to do for now though an English version is most certainly welcome to Apple jailbreaking users.
All eyes on Pangu at Black Hat USA 2016
Pangu will be speaking at Black Hat USA 2016 though initial word was that the hacking group would not be touching on the status of its iOS jailbreaks.
But all that was before Apple went on and revealed the final version of iOS 9.3.3 which technically strikes out one of the three iOS cracks, the iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak.
Right now, this semi-tethered iOS jailbreak looms as the best one and the safest follow-up to expect is the English version of the iOS 9 crack. Then again hoping (yet again) for a full untethered iOS 9.3.3 or iOS 10 jailbreak won’t hurt but all that falls on the shoulders off Pangu.
Time ticking for Pangu
If Pangu is to come out with a working jailbreak, August is looming as their last window of opportunity. iOS 10 is expected to be announced in September, alongside the launch of the iPhone 7.
Pangu did show off the iOS 9.3.3 and iOS 10 jailbreak at MOSEC 2016 last month in the form of slideshows. Now they need to prove that those shown are no flukes.
