Taig iOS 9.2.1 Jailbreak status

It has been several weeks since the Apple release of the first iOS 9.3 beta and there hasn’t been any news regarding an iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak. The reputed jailbreak teams are probably at work or maybe they have given up, but that doesn’t mean jailbreak isn’t possible.

As of now, you can only jailbreak iOS 9.0.2 and lower iOS 9 versions. If you’re on anything higher than iOS 9.0.2, then you are going to have to wait for an iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak. Apple patched the Pangu iOS 9.0 - 9.0.2 jailbreak with it's iOS 9.1 update. Ever since that, we haven’t had the luxury of any new jailbreaks.

It seems highly likely that iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak could be with us soon, thanks to the work of a developer named Luca Tedesco.



If you’re not jailbroken currently and are sitting on a firmware version that cannot be jailbroken other than iOS 9.2.1, then you should upgrade your device.

One of the biggest changes in iOS 9.3 is the new night time reading feature called Night Shift mode. Several apps such as News, Notes, Health, and more have been refreshed with new interface and features. There are lot of new 3D Touch Actions available for system apps as well.

iOS 9.2.1 Jailbreak


We’ve seen proof that it is possible to jailbreak iOS 9.2.1, as shown to us by iOS hacker Luca Tudesco. He demonstrated a video of iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak.

Taig Jb team is currently working on an iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak. It would be wonderful if we a jailbreak tool were released for iOS 9.2.1, because it’s the last iOS version that Apple has publicly released.


iOS 9.3 Jailbreak


An iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak seems bleak, as Apple has already started seeding the iOS 9.3 beta to developers. There have been two betas of iOS 9.3 so far and it includes some several new features such as Night Shift mode, improved CarPlay, better Apple Watch integration and many more.

Once again, it is possible to jailbreak iOS 9.3, as shown by same hacker who jailbroke iOS 9.2.1. He found way to jailbreak the first iOS 9.3 beta, most likely using the same exploit he used to jailbreak iOS 9.2.1.

The hacker posted a video of his jailbroken iPhone 6 running on iOS 9.3 beta 1. He launches fully working Cydia and shows that it is indeed iOS 9.3 beta. He also launched Mobile Terminal and runs some code to show that it isn’t a fake.
