iOS 8.2 jailbreak release may come soon after Chinese iOS jailbreaking teams TaiG and Pangu expressed that they are both working on the jailbreak of the new version of iOS.
Although the aforementioned developers did not announce any specific date yet for the release, the two were the first to successfully jailbreak the new iOS 8. The jailbreaks were put into a halt by the patches in iOS 8.1.3. There were reports claiming that the iOS 8.2 is also not jailbreakable, but there are certain areas that have not been fixed yet that will serve as an entry point for the jailbreak.
Moreover, developer TaiG previously announced on its website that the untethered jailbreak for new iOS is almost completed. The developer just needed to ensure that the jailbreak surpasses the security patches that Apple included.
TaiG is reportedly working on the beta versions of iOS 8.2. Another jailbreak developer warned users not to download the official version of iOS 8.2 rolled out last week if they want to jailbreak their devices.
Jailbreak developer MuscleNerd tweeted "Jailbreakers stay away from today's 8.2 update for now, or you will get burned."
On the other hand, Apple pushed the iOS 8.3 beta 3 to the public following its strategy with the Mac OS X. The tech company seeded the operating system to beta testers is for the purpose of soliciting some feedback from them. The previous versions of iOS 8.3 were made available exclusively to developers.
Apple said that public previews will largely help in shaping the company's future products. The public beta is also beneficial to users as they will now have a say on what they should be paying for.
Meanwhile, the Cupertino-based company is also working on the next generation of iOS operating system, iOS 9, which will be announced in June at the annual Worldwide Developers' Conference.
