Considering that the iOS 9.1 already had testers, there is a possibility that the teams TaiG and Pangu will release the iOS 9.1 jailbreak directly, the Dispatch Times reports.
Meanwhile, the team Zerodium (zero-day acquisition platform) announced that it will be giving away $1 million as reward for anyone who can successfully jailbreak iOS 9 untethered via the browser-based method only, the report relays.
"The Million Dollar iOS 9 Bug Bounty is tailored for experienced security researchers, reverse engineers, and jailbreak developers," Latino Post quotes Zerodium's statement. "And is an offer made by ZERODIUM to pay out a total of three million U.S. dollars ($3,000,000.00) in rewards for iOS exploits/jailbreaks."
Lastly, the Semi JB Team posted a partial iOS 9 jailbreak that can be installed with Cydia in limited functions. The team claims that the jailbreak has been tested on all iOS versions.
