Jailbreak iOS 9 – Status Update for iPhone and iPad

Apple has released iOS 9 and with it comes the barrage of queries on how to jailbreak this new firmware. In this post we are going to look at the status of a potential iOS 9 jailbreak. With the release of iOS 9 we have been told that this is the greatest version of the iOS to date and it brings with it some great new features and improvements. We have included a video at the end of the post that will walk you through the new iOS 9 firmware.

Apple have dedicated a lot of time and resources when it comes to improving their mobile operating system, but there is still, and probably always will be, a strong contingency of users who can’t wait to jailbreak their devices.

At the moment, the last publicly available jailbreak was for iOS 8.4. This was provided by the TaiG team. Pangu team has also managed to successfully jailbreak iOS 8.4.1, but they claim that a number of the vulnerabilities used in that process have been patched with the release of the Golden Master build of iOS 9. There is no real confirmation on whether or not the Pangu team will package together their iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak and release it to the public.

Now that iOS 9 is officially here we are all waiting with baited breath. Prominent developer iH8Sn0w recently uploaded a video to YouTube demonstrating his successful attempt at jailbreaking Apple’s iOS 9. This video not only showed a jailbroken iOS 9 device, but outlines very specific things such as verbose boot, custom boot logos running, and demonstrated code injection. We don’t know if he will make this jailbreak available to the public or not though, so once again we are left hanging. We know it can be done but we don’t know if we will be able to get our hands on it or not.

What this essentially means is that once again we all have to wait to see if the TaiG or Pangu teams will come up with something. While we wait for them to delve deep into iOS 9 and discover the vulnerabilities that are needed for a jailbreak, we are advised not to update our firmware. The fact that iH8Sn0w has demonstrated a working jailbreak for iOS 9 is positive and it gives us hope that a public jailbreak could in fact be in the works. With that being said, with iOS 9.1 already available to testers, the likelihood of TaiG or Pangu working on a jailbreak for iOS 9 is quite doubtful and we could see them giving all their attention to a jailbreak for iOS 9.1.

While we wait for more information why not take a look at the video below that showcases all the feature the new iOS 9 firmware brings.
