A jailbreak for iOS 9.3.3 and earlier versions back to iOS 9.2 is now available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The jailbreak arrives from China through a group called Pangu, who has released similar jailbreaking utilities in the past for Mac OS X and Windows.
Jailbreaking involves modifying iOS system software so that unauthorized software and modifications can be made. This is inherently risky to the target devices security and stability, and thus is not recommended to anyone beyond truly advanced users who understand the ramifications involved with modifying system software using third party tools, including the potential for data loss or worse. Understandably, Apple is strongly opposed to jailbreaking and may void a devices warranty if it is jailbroken. There are many specific reasons not to jailbreak any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and they should not be ignored. Jailbreaking is truly only for advanced users and security researchers who know the associated risks and how to manage such a test device, it is not for novices, casual users, or even the curious.
Despite the potential hassles and troubles, some savvy users continue to be interested in the jailbreaking process and outcomes. Those who are interested in this can download the latest Pangu jailbreak tool from the official website here. Currently the version for jailbreaking iOS 9.3.3 through iOS 9.2 runs in Mac OS X, Linux, or Windows and is available in English or Chinese.
This specific version of the PanGu jailbreak tool works for iOS 9.3.3, iOS 9.3.2, iOS 9.3.1, iOS 9.3, iOS 9.2.1, and iOS 9.2 on iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone SE, iPhone 5S, iPod touch 6th generation, iPad Mini 4, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 2, iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Air 2. Any other device or iOS version is not supported.
The use of the current Pangu tool is bit more complicated than some of the prior jailbreak installation processes, partially because it’s in Chinese, but those interested in learning how to use the utility to jailbreak an iPhone or iPad can watch the embedded video below found on YouTube from “EveryAppleProThing”
Again, there are many reasons why you should not jailbreak iOS, don’t ignore them.
