As a number of issues appear to plague iOS 9, the jailbreak community gets even more excited on the customization tool's release date. It could happen very soon but not before the iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak arrives.
Work on JB 8.4.1, according to Gotta Be Mobile, is already underway and should be made public before Apple halts the official iOS 8.4.1 signing that will bar upgraders to iOS 9 from going back. The jailbreak, however, is not likely coming from either the Pangu Team of China or TaiG, the report added.
The provider this time is a newbie from Italy named Luca Todesco, who had hinted that JB 8.4.1 is rolling out soon. The jailbreak jump though from 8.4.0 to 8.4.1 is not the kind that excites jailbreakers as the improvements included are deemed minor.
What really is earthshaking is the full untethered iOS 9 jailbreak that iPhone and iPad users hope will be the alternative solution to the host of iOS 9 problems that already cropped out following the software's release earlier this September.
When the actual release remains up in the air but jailbreakers at least have a clue that work on the tool has already started. Case in point is the rough version of a working and untethered iOS 9 jailbreak on an iPhone 5 that exploit developer iH8Sn0w showed off via a YouTube clip. The video proved one important thing - that prying open the iPhone 6S operating system is very much possible.
But iH8Sn0w is stopping there, declaring that he will let others to finish the work for him.
If indeed somebody will pick up, the best case scenario for an iOS 9 jailbreak release date is between November and December 2015. It said that before the final jailbreak cut is issued, devs will first wait out for the official iOS 9.1.
And the most solid clue that iOS 9.1 is arriving soon is the giant iPad Pro that GBM said will be the first to rock the updated software. Scheduled unboxing of the 13-inch iPad is November, the report added.
That would mean a sure-fire iOS 9 jailbreak release date that is no later than Christmas 2015. But it is highly likely that the likes of Pangu Team and TaiG (or even the Evad3rs) will play Santa Claus and unwrap a jailbreak gift before the end of November.
