TaiG to Jailbreak iOS 8.2 or iOS 8.3 Untethered? MSS 2015 - Today, as the jailbreak community roars with excitement in anticipation of a possible iOS 8.2 jailbreak release at MSS 2015 (the Mobile Security Summit), the staff at Evasi0n Jailbreak felt it would be a rather fun time to poll our readers as to what they feel the smart release strategy would be for the aforementioned jailbreak. While we’ve covered the topic of a new jailbreak for iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, and in turn MSS, a number of times by this point some of our readers may be unaware of the Summit and/or its importance. In essence MSS is a conference that will be hosted later tonight at 6PM (Pacific time) by TaiG in Bejing China (it will commence at 10AM on the 27th, local time - they’re 15 hours ahead), which will consist of a series of keynote presentations from a number of influential players on the jailbreak scene throughout the years. Unsurprisingly, while it hasn’t been officially mentioned, the public mistakenly took the announcement of MSS 2015 to mean the unofficial confirmation, and release, of a new jailbreak utility (one intended to jailbreak iOS 8.2). However, unfortunately, no such release can be confirmed at this time, but should TaiG jailbreak 8.2 or instead wait for iOS 8.3’s release? Cast your votes after the break!
Semi Jailbreak iOS 8.2 Works, Right? Nope, Jailbreak Scams Identified! - Today, as the public eagerly awaits MSS 2015 (the Mobile Security Summit), which will be held by TaiG on March 27th in Beijing, China, numerous rumors, speculation and pure conjecture pertaining to a new iOS 8.2 jailbreak have been cluttering the blogosphere. Numerous individuals, and sources, claim that TaiG will use the summit as a platform to launch the team’s next jailbreak utility, which will liberate those who have been locked out of jailbreaking since iOS 8.1.3’s release and, in turn, patch the last Untethered jailbreak tool. Furthermore, in the wake of the devastation iOS 8.1.3 left, at least in terms of its aforementioned patching of TaiG, numerous (successful) scams have come into fruition that attempt to trick helpless jailbreakers into believing they’re installing Cydia, and they often succeed. However, in reality, said users fall victim to the potential unsolicited collection of, and often times profit from, their personal data. While jailbreak scams are nothing new, as they tend to propagate following the patch of every significant jailbreak utility, they’ve evolved from blatantly obvious viruses that previously attempted to infect Windows-based PCs to what some would consider a very close lookalike to a mobile web-based Cydia, which again profit from the unknowing collection and selling of Big data (here’s the wiki on the concept). So what can you do to avoid falling victim to the jailbreak iOS 8.2 scams that now litter the web? Continue reading for the answer, as well as to discover whether a new jailbreak for iOS 8.2 exists!
Jailbreak iOS 8.2 Untethered Update; TaiG or Pangu, How to Jailbreak 8.2 and 8.3 Possibility - As we progress forward into 2015, a question that’s gnawing at the back of mind of the jailbreak world as a whole is whether there will be a solution to jailbreak iOS 8.2. In light of the fact that the iOS 8.1.2 Untethered TaiG and PP jailbreak utilities were officially patched by iOS 8.1.3, as well as iOS 8.2 for that matter, and that downgrades from either firmware to 8.1.2 are no longer possible (Apple closed the signing window for the jailbreakable firmware), we must turn our attention toward the future: iOS 8.2, iOS 8.3 and even iOS 8.4! Last year, with iOS 7 and even before that (the same applies to iOS 6 and iOS 5), Apple’s iOS releases didn’t surpass 7.1.x. Now, as the company’s line of products evolve, not only have we’ve reached iOS 8.2, but 8.3 is currently available in its third public developer beta stage and, as with several accurately predicted iterations of iOS 8 that preceded it, iOS 8.4 is rumored to make an appearance later this year. Having said that, what about jailbreaking for the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3 and older iOS 8-capable devices? Will there be an iOS 8.2 jailbreak or even future utilities to jailbreak past the forthcoming firmware? For an in-depth examination of what the future holds in store for jailbreakers, as well as information on the latest major iOS 8 release, being iOS 8.2, jump past the break!
