iOS 9.2 Jailbreak May Not Be Released Anytime Soon
The first iOS 9 jailbreak was released in October, but the iOS 9.2 jailbreak may not be released anytime soon.
The iOS 9 jailbreak that Pangu released was compatible with iOS 9.0, iOS 9.0.1, and iOS 9.0.2. After that, Apple released the iOS 9.1 and iOS 9.2 and there is still no word on when the jailbreak for the latest iOS versions will be released, according to Gotta Be Mobile.
Previous rumors said Pangu was ready to release a working iOS 9.2 jailbreak, but this has not been confirmed. The next jailbreak may not come out until 2016 because of Apple's cycle of iOS updates.
Most likely, the iOS 9.2.1 is a critical fix update that does not contain new features. It may include only fixes for the bug and security issues that Apple has lined up in case Pangu decides to release the iOS 9.2 jailbreak soon after, the report explains.
NB44 says the iOS 9.2 update includes bug fixes and improvements to Siri, Mail, Apple Music, News, and other apps. The iOS 9.2.1 update, on the other hand, is reportedly a minor fix for a bug in the previous update that would cause an app installation to be interrupted.
It is worth noting that it is rare to see jailbreaking developers who share their progress to the public. That way, the public will not know that a jailbreak is already available until Pangu decides to announce it.
Meanwhile, users who are waiting for the iOS 9.2 jailbreak are advised not to update to iOS 9.2 as this will render their current jailbreak ineffective. They can click "Download only" when they see the prompt on iTunes, the report relays.
For now, there is no confirmed report on the release date of the iOS 9.2 jailbreak, so users who are waiting for it are urged not to expect it too soon.
