iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak: Apple releases 9.3.4 update following semi-tethered jailbreak of previous version

Fans were ecstatic to know that a new jailbreak version of the current iOS platform is already available. However, Apple immediately released a iOS 9.3.4 update that fixes the jailbreak exploit.

According to MacRumors, Apple started rolling out a new update to its iOS platform, bringing the new version to iOS 9.3.4. The new update reportedly contains "an important security update," and this may be due to a memory corruption issue discovered in the jailbreak version recently released for iOS 9.3.3. With the new patch already in place, this means that users who want to experience a jailbreak version for iOS needs to roll out the PanGu tool v1.1, since the official iOS is already stable and is just days away from being signed. Once the official version has been signed, no jailbreaks for the current iOS can be rolled out.

Fans who will not use the jailbreak version until the official iOS is signed will have to wait a bit longer for a new jailbreak, since the iOS 9.3.4 update is reportedly the last one for the platform, and Apple will then focus its dev team into the upcoming iOS 10. Reportedly, all is set for the new platform's roll out next month.

As for the current iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak, it has been a long time since jailbreak teams rolled out the update. The last stable jailbreak version has been for iOS 9.2. Some observers have mentioned that the jailbreak teams may be having a harder time cracking the recent iOS releases, since Apple has put up more stringent security measures. This may indeed be the case, since the recent iOS jailbreak is not a full release. PanGu's jailbreak tool only has a semi-tethered iOS 9.3.3. This means that the jailbreak version is installed and run on the iOS devices as long as the devices are powered on. Once the device has been switched off, users will then need to download and re-install the jailbreak.
