Jailbreak fans won't have to wait that long to get their hands on the long-awaited iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak. Rumors have it that the software will be ready before Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June.
Reports indicate that hacker groups, primarily Pangu and TaiG, are simply on standby, waiting for the iOS 9.3.2 to be released to the public in full form. Once it's out they will release an iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak.
Apple has so far released the fourth and final beta version of the iOS 9.3.2. This indicates that the final version of the software will be rolled out soon. The Cupertino-based company hasn't determined a specific launch date yet, but rumors say a mid-May release is likely.
If these speculations turn out to be true, users will likely see the launch of the iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak not long after. However, there are worries that the new software will be more difficult to break into and will take a longer time to crack.
The iOS 9.1 jailbreak from early this year -- and the latest Pangu came up with -- took a while to come around reportedly because of Apple's added jailbreak-proof elements to its mobile operating system. The company is expected to do the same thing on the iOS 9.3.2, making it more difficult for jailbreak developers to work on.
From this sprang the rumors that the iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak will not be released, but instead TaiG and Pangu will direct their efforts to jailbreaking Apple's landmark software iOS 10.
Even so, there are still worries that Apple will come up with a counter-exploit for the said upcoming firmware. That being said, hackers will be facing bigger challenges in jailbreaking as Apple continues to update and fortify its software releases.
With the absence of proper iOS jailbreak tools -- the one released in March did not benefit a lot of people -- users are finding more ways to get around the Apple software, including sideloading (installing an app without the use of the application-distribution method of the app) and so-called jailbreak tweaks.
