iOS 9.3.2 Jailbreak 2016 Release Date Not Happening? Top 4 Reasons Jailbreaking is Dying

While it is possible that some independent developers may have already cooked up a fully working and untethered iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak tool, making it public is a different story. It could be that a JB release date will not happen this 2016 and the chief reason is - jailbreaking is dying. 

Here are the top four reasons that the iOS 9.1 jailbreak seen earlier this year could be the last of the jailbreaking era:

Reward and excitement of jailbreaking long-gone

ZDNet said that jailbreaking is not dead, at least not yet, as the report made clear that skilled developers are surely out there trying to identify iOS exploits that will allow them to jailbreak Apple's mobile operating system. But obviously, the excitement that characterized the Team Evad3rs jailbreak years had peaked during the succeeding Pangu and TaiG periods.

Essentially, many jailbreak players lost steam for lack of tangible rewards as ZDNet pointed that while most jailbreak authors are generous and willing to share the product of their talents, reality will always knock and they will need to generate revenues to pay the bills. Jailbreaking that jailbreak fans knew is no more.

Quick patching by Apple

It used to be that jailbreak providers play with gusto the cat-and-mouse game on Apple as they enjoyed the upper hand. It would take many months or even over a year for Apple engineers to plug a hole and kill a jailbreak, thus extending the JB tool's lifespan.

That is no longer the case as ZDNet said that jailbreakers are now given few weeks of window time and a jailbreak exploit is patched. Months of hard work and extensive research are zapped by Apple too quick that developers can hardly catch up.

Security risks

Over a billion of iOS devices are in active circulation, per Apple, and the numbers alone indicate that malware attackers are looking on rich targets. The iPhone maker is clear on its stand that jailbreaking poses security risks and the threats become even more serious for users half or completely clueless of the jailbreak setting.

Sideloading or tweaks without jailbreak

For advanced iOS users, jailbreak is no longer a necessity with alternative solutions like sideloading and tweaks minus the jailbreak. The former permits the installation of open source apps that Apple expressly disapproves while the latter is the use of tweaks, normally found on App Store underground counterpart Cydia, without jailbreaking a device. Gotta Be Mobile offers tutorials on Pangu installation that stops short of jailbreaking an iPhone.
