Reports came out that an iOS 9 jailbreak release is happening real soon, likely in the last week of October and specifically for iPhone and iPad users with iOS build 9.0.2 on their devices. But the details attached with the report were far from solid.
Rumors picked up by Neurogadget indicate that Pangu got some help from an Indie developer named K33n and the resulting work is a software that must be loaded into an iPhone or iPad. Following a restart, Cydia will automatically launch and users can start accessing the jailbreak tweaks found on the App Store counterpart.
And that will be the whole jailbreaking process, the report said, adding that users need to make sure that they got the following iOS versions before jumping in: iOS 9, 9.0.1 and 9.0.2.
However, this tale remains in the rumor realm or in other words - unproven.
What would be more believable, per Gotta Be Mobile, is the suggestion that a fully working and untethered iOS 9 jailbreak will only come out right after the iPad Pro touchdown, which reportedly Apple will make happen in November.
Why wait for the giant iPad? It is believed that right out of the box, the slate will boast iOS 9.1, which is not far-fetched as beta four of the same software version has already been seeded. Now, the official iOS 9.1 release is important for the likes of Pangu, TaiG, K33n and even Italian jailbreaker Luca Todesco who had been harping about his iOS 8.4.1 JB tool.
The 9.1 arrival will mean that any exploits in the previous version has been addressed by Apple, rendering the jailbreak works - that of Todesco's and the Pangu-K33n collaboration - basically useless. For sure any of the two entities would not want to make public an unlocker for iPhones and iPads that iOS 9.1 will only lock out all too quick.
So the logical thing to do is let Apple do its work, wait out for 9.1, poke inside of the OS when it becomes available and make use, if possible, of the remaining exploits in wrapping up the iOS 9 jailbreak.
And it appears that the next jailbreak will be a collective effort with the likes of iH8Sn0w and Stefan Esser (aka i0n1c) sharing their expertise with the Pangu Team and company.
The jailbreak community is subscribed to the idea that work on an iOS 9 jailbreak is nearly in the final stage and devs are only standing by for 9.1 before finalizing the codes. The scenario then points to an iOS 9 jailbreak release date, untethered, between late November or anytime in December 2015.
