Pangu iOS 9.2.1 Jailbreak Release Date :
But iOS 9.2.1 is
still in the beta version, right ? . Full version of
iOS 9.2.1 download
now available [ext link].Well, that hasn’t stopped Italian hacker Luca
Todesco from working out the vulnerabilities of the firmware for
jailbreaking it. The hacker has released a screenshot on his popular
@qwertyoruiop Twitter
handle, and the screenshot [image below] shows the hacker’s iPhone 6
running a jailbroken version of iOS 9.2.1 beta. However, before you
think that the jailbreak will be released soon, you should note that
this new jailbreak will not be released by the hacker. Luca himself
mentioned in his tweet- “
no releases“.

This
announcement comes as a disappointment for all the iOS jailbreak users
who have been waiting for the next jailbreak. However, there might still
be some hope. That’s because
iOS 9.2.1 is
still in the beta form released in full version currently, and Luca might release the jailbreak, or at least the
jailbreak source code, after Apple has released iOS 9.2.1 for the public [

Available – Ext Link ] . Another explanation tells us that Luca is one
of those developers who like to find security exploits in firmwares but
do not want to go to the extent of creating a full-on jailbreak tool.
Such hackers usually pass on the exploits to jailbreak teams who are
experienced in creating jailbreak tools for the public.
Many
people are still doubting Luca’s claims to have jailbroken iOS 9.2.1. If
you are one of them, you should know that Luca Todesco is a talented
and experienced hacker and has been credited by Apple for unveiling a
security exploit in iOS 9.2. Also, the hacker has had a significant hand
in the making of
Pangu’s iOS 9 jailbreak. Apart from
that, Todesco had also worked on jailbreaking iOS 8.4.1, but it was
never released in a jailbreak tool form; though the hacker did release
the source code on GitHub. Finally, Luca has posted another screenshot
showing the iOS 9.2.1 kernel dumps [image below]. This should be enough
to tell you that the hacker has indeed succeeded in jailbreaking iOS
9.2.1.

We hope Pangu and TaiG are able to connect with Luca and create a jailbreak in collaboration with the talented Italian hacker.
