iOS 8.3 Jailbreak TaiG Untethered 2.1.3 Tutorial, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPod touch and More - Very early this morning, world renowned hacking group TaiG released an all new jailbreak 8.3 untethered solution (the very same group who created the previous iOS 8 through 8.1.2 and iOS 8.2 betas 1 and 2 jailbreak utility). The latest update to the TaiG jailbreak, being TaiG 2.0 (which has now been updated to version 2.1.3) for iOS 8, is capable of successfully delivering a hassle-free Untethered jailbreak on iOS 8.3 for all iPhone, iPod touch and iPad models. This release, like its processor, came out of the blue and certainly wasn’t expected - in fact, TaiG confirmed in a recent interview that they had no plans on releasing another iOS 8 jailbreak for 8.3; it’s a good thing they employed the use of this tactic to divert attention. We now have…
Latest iOS Jailbreak Status: iOS 9 Jailbreak Achieved (Update Here)!
Forget iOS 8.3, Apple Watch Jailbreak Coming After K33N’s iOS 9 Jailbreak?
Apple Watch Jailbreak Coming After iOS 9 Utility? Forget About iOS 8.3 Jailbreak! - Recently, ensuing Apple’s WWDC last week and the release of iOS 9.0 beta 1, a new team dubbed K33N announced that they may have a major role to play in jailbreaking moving forward - specifically beyond the suspected forthcoming Pangu jailbreak for iOS 8.3 and iOS 8.4 for the inevitable iOS 9 update. However, what’s even more tantalizing is the prospect of an Apple Watch jailbreak. Currently, beyond developers being locked into creating apps strictly via WatchKit, apps don’t run natively on the Apple Watch - instead, apps run in the background on the iPhone the Watch is paired with and are mirrored to the device. With WatchOS 2 (the next major update for the Apple Watch that was announced alongside iOS 9 and WWDC), which is launching this fall, Apple is opening up native app…
PP Claims iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Release In July, After 8.4, K33N To Jailbreak iOS 9?
PP States iOS 8.3 Jailbreak to be Released in July, after 8.4, K33n’s iOS 9 Jailbreak Plans - Today, following the conclusion of WWDC on Monday, a few interesting developments in the realm of jailbreaking have come to light. Without an iOS 8.3 jailbreak from either TaiG or Pangu, those new to the scene are undoubtedly starting to panic as we approach one of the longest periods we’ve had to wait for a new jailbreak utility - second only to days of iOS 6 - iOS 7, when 6.1.3 patched the jailbreak in March, 2013 and we didn’t receive a new untethered utility until evasi0n7 in December, 2013. So, with Pangu having recently demonstrated their ability to jailbreak iOS 8.3 at MOSEC and with iOS 8.4 right around the corner, what can we expect as far as a new jailbreak for iOS 8.4 and iOS 8.3? Interestingly, PP Assistant (the group…
Reboot iPhone Text Message Bug To Expedite Jailbreak iOS 8.3, iOS 8.4 Utility
Power Off, Reboot, iMessage Text to Aid iOS 8.3 Jailbreak for iOS 8.4 - Interestingly, late last evening a string of text went viral that causes an iOS device running 8.0 or higher (including iOS 8.3 and 8.4 beta 3) to appear as though it’s rebooting when a SMS text or iMessage is received containing said text. At this point, chances are good you’ve likely either heard of the aforementioned iOS glitch or experienced it firsthand. For those of you who have yet to test this bizarre phenomenon, you’ll find the exact characters that need be simply copied, pasted and texted to your friends (for testing purposes, of course). When we first caught wind of the mysterious combination of English, Arabic and Unicode characters that don’t play nicely with iOS, we immediately thought of jailbreaking, more specifically the exploitation of iOS 8.3 to create a new jailbreak utility to function pre-…
iOS 9 ‘Rootless’ Security: Jailbreaking Possible After iOS 8.3, iOS 8.4?
Post iOS 8.3 Jailbreak and 8.4, iOS 9’s “Rootless” Security - Yesterday, as the public waits for a new solution to jailbreak iOS 8.3 and the forthcoming iOS 8.4 firmware, interesting reports broke throughout the Apple blogosphere (originating from 9to5Mac) suggesting that iOS 9 will feature a new security initiative from Apple dubbed “Rootless“. While this isn’t the first time we’ve heard tale of increased security measures in the forthcoming iOS 9 release, in fact we recently covered it and dispelled rumors pertaining to the impossibility of jailbreaking post iOS 8.3, we now have additional information (alleged though it may be) as to how Apple may accomplish hindering future jailbreak development. To preface, both TaiG and Pangu have separately confirmed that they’re working on new jailbreak utilities independently (at least from what we know thus far) that are intended for iOS 8, specifically for iOS 8.4. However, as we’ve detailed a…
Jailbreak Post iOS 8.3 For iOS 9 Impossible? iOS 9 Security Improvements Rumored
Post iOS 8.3, 8.4 Jailbreak for iOS 9 to be Impossible? iOS 9’s Security - Without a new jailbreak utility since January of 2015, those who regrettably updated to or beyond iOS 8.1.3 (the firmware that patched the TaiG jailbreak) are undoubtedly questioning whether a jailbreak for iOS 8.3 will come into fruition prior to the release of either iOS 8.4 or iOS 9. As we highlighted in a recent post, while TaiG and Pangu have both confirmed that they’ll create a new jailbreak, the groups are faced with an incredibly tough decision: to jailbreak 8.3 or jailbreak 8.4. While the answer may sound obvious to those locked out of a jailbreak, it’s not that simple from a strategic standpoint (explained here). But we’re not going to focus on an iOS 8.3 jailbreak in today’s article, we’re here to talk about something that’s potentially much more dire, iOS 9. Apple’s next major…
iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Or iOS 8.4 Jailbreak, TaiG And Pangu’s Difficult Decision
Jailbreak iOS 8.3 or iOS 8.4: TaiG and Pangu’s Difficult Decision - It’s no secret that the latest TaiG jailbreak was patched back in January by Apple’s iOS 8.1.3 firmware. Since then, Apple issued multiple updates, being iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, namely to introduce Apple Watch support and revised emoji, respectively. Furthermore, with both of the aforementioned subsequent iOS releases, and with iOS 8.4 having entered its second round of developer beta testing earlier this week, what do we have to look forward to in 2015? Surprisingly, a lot, most prominently a new jailbreak for iOS 8, whether it’s intended to jailbreak iOS 8.3 or 8.4. Interestingly, while iOS 8.4 has already been jailbroken by i0n1c, as we stated in our dedicated coverage on the topic, don’t expect a release from the hacker who only formerly contributed to the jailbreak community - instead, we must turn toward TaiG and…
Jailbreak iOS 8.4 And iOS 8.3 Achieved, And Teased, By i0n1c - Release Unlikely
iOS 8.4 Jailbreak and iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Achieved by i0n1c, Teaser Hints at Unlikely Release - Earlier today, hacker Stefan Esser (better known online as i0n1c) released a video flaunting his latest alleged achievement: an iOS 8.4 beta 1 jailbreak, which presumably includes its predecessor, the latest public firmware, iOS 8.3. Given that TaiG was patched by Apple with the release of iOS 8.1.3, the public has been in desperate need of a new jailbreak utility to function on and, in turn, jailbreak either iOS 8.3 or the forthcoming iOS 8.4 firmware. However, such a tool will more than likely won’t come into fruition as the result of today’s jailbreak 8.4 teaser video posted by the aforementioned hacker who pulled a similar stunt last year with his so-called, and self-proclaimerd, “cyberelevat0r” jailbreak. For those of you who are either new to the world of jailbreaking or who simply require a…
iOS 8.3 Jailbreak TaiG Tool Expedited By Apple Watch, Will You Update?
TaiG iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Tool Expedited by Apple Watch, Will You Update? - Since iOS 8.1.3’s release in January those who either restore their devices or purchase new devices running said firmware or later have been unable to jailbreak, the same applies to iOS 8.3 (the latest public firmware). While there isn’t a jailbreak iOS 8.3 solution as of writing this article, both TaiG and now, thankfully, Pangu have confirmed the development of a new jailbreak utility, which will inevitably support the latest public firmware. While the public was under the impression that a new jailbreak would present itself prior to April 24th (we’ll explain why we’re referencing the 24th in particular shortly), it doesn’t appear as though it will happen and, as each day passes, the possibility is becoming increasingly less likely. As we’ve stated before, new jailbreak utilities take hundreds of hours to develop, from exploitation discovery to…
Will iOS 9 And WWDC 2015 Affect The Jailbreak For iOS 8.3? Great Update!
iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Affected by iOS 9 and WWDC 2015? - Yesterday, as we’re all patiently (some of us more than others) awaiting a new jailbreak for iOS 8.3 from either TaiG or Pangu, who recently re-entered the jailbreak arena, Apple announced the event that will showcase the future of iOS and OS X: WWDC 2015. During the forthcoming event, which will be held in San Francisco, California at Moscone Center from June 8th to the 12th, Apple will undoubtedly unveil both iOS 9 and OS 10.11 (the next OS X installment) to the world and, in turn, seed the first iOS 9 beta. But what about jailbreaking, will it be affected by iOS 9? In spite of the fact that the TaiG jailbreak was patched by Apple with the release of 8.1.3, followed swiftly by both iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3, as we’ve stated several times new jailbreak tools are currently…
