iOS 9.1 jailbreak may take awhile because Apple tightens the software to prevent jailbreakers from finding possible loopholes.

Apple Inc. has rolled out the latest iOS for newer iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, but there is no confirmed reports if there are iOS 9.1 jailbreak updates.

iOS 9 features a bunch of exciting new features and noteworthy improvements. However, the jailbreaked latest Apple operating system may take a little longer because apparently, Apple has a tight software to prevent jailbreakers from finding possible loopholes.

Reports stated that iOS 9.1 has been already sent to testers and it is rumored that the Pangu and TaiG teams are already working on jailbreaking the iOS 9.1, but there is not confirmation from the prolific jailbreaker teams.

One of the elements that prevent from jailbreaking iOS 9.1 is that users cannot simply download the beta version because it requires them to create a special profile from the Apple's public beta website before accessing the regular version of the software. In this way, Apple has the power to limit the number of people from accessing the latest OS and prevent them from doing a semi jailbreak.

In order to motivate other jailbreakers, there is an alleged offer of $1 million from the security firm Zerodium. Currently, iH8sn0w, maker and developer of popular tools such as Sn0wbreeze, P0sixspwn and iFaith, is the only one who accomplished the feat for iOS 9.0 with the proof shown in a Youtube video.

He has successfully demonstrated different levels of iOS 9 jailbreak process in his latest video, according to Yahoo, and it includes: comprising verbose boot, custom boot logos and code injection. Others are still waiting if TaiG and Pangu teams are will be able to crack iOS 9.1.

Developer iH8sn0w did not announce if the the jailbreak process is available for public download. Users who are using iOS 9.0 or iOS 9.0.1 and waiting for the jailbreak version, they can also downgrade their device to iOS 8.4.1, which is still possible until Apple closes the downgrading process, International Business Times reported.
