iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak update news: Jailbreak rumored to be skipped; iOS 9.3 beta 3 jailbroken?

After "Error 53," which plagued iPhone devices earlier this month, Apple released an updated iOS 9.2.1 to remedy the situation. Then more recently, it rolled out the third beta of iOS 9.3 to developers. This has led many to believe that an iOS 9.2.1 jailbreak may not see the light of day anymore.

The iOS jailbreak community believed that an iOS 9.2 jailbreak was in development stage when it was rumored that Pangu was working on it, and they were undoubtedly waiting for its release. During that time period, iOS hacker Luca Todesco claimed that he had a working jailbreak for iOS 9.2.1, and that iOS version was still in beta stage. Todesco did not want to share his knowledge to the rest of the world, so apparently, nobody has used the jailbreak tool apart from him.

Now, iOS 9.3 is the talk of the town, and even while in its beta stage, many now believe that jailbreaking is not limited to the Pangu and TaiG team anymore. Taigjailbreak has reported that Todesco has jailbroken iOS 9.3 beta 1 and even posted a video of it on YouTube. Again, he does not intend to release his tool to the general public.

Neurogadget has reported that a certain Twitter user with the handle enMTW announced that he has already cracked the iOS 9.3 beta 3 and said that he will eventually release the jailbreak tool, which is rumored to be in March. Many followers of enMTW believe that he will share his exploits to the community.

Meanwhile, TaiG is also rumored to be working on an iOS 9.3 jailbreak, but there is currently no information on its availability, whereas Pangu announced to its fans that the latest iOS 9.2.1 is recommended to be downloaded and installed in their iOS devices.

So far, iOS 9.3 is rumored to bring some major performance improvements, new features and of course bug fixes. It is believed that this version will bring sorting ability and password protection on Apple Notes. Improved algorithms, landscape mode and in-line video playback are said to be added on Apple News.
