Hey I was wondering if anyone knows the exact release date?

There will never be a jailbreak in near future

&

the story that it will be released before WWDC is 200% fake.

Yeah, pretty unlikely.

I'm on 9.3.2 and I believe most hackers who found a hole didn't have enough to make untethered. With more tools attacking apple devices for injection purposes I think most hackers will keep their exploits for 9.4 as it will be the final release before 10. At WWDC they will talk about IOS 10 anyway so it comes down to a logical decision that is not up to us:

- if exploited bugs are fixed in 9.3.2 they will be *forced* to release them or at least share to the community because later they will be obsolete

- if exploited bugs are not fixed in 9.3.2 they will wait for an official updated on the next versions and roadmap; this is because if they just release an untethered jb tomorrow 1st it will directly and negatively impact apple and they will then take action either against the people that did it or just hotfix the issue and remove that version from seed, sort of nullifying the jb for a clean 9.x experience

Why I say this is the nature devices are sold, they are usually with the latest version of the operating system at that time. So most products that are on the market right now are not updated to 9.3.2 but technically speaking that is the latest version, even if in beta. So if hackers release untethered tomorrow apple can just patch it so their current ios 9 devices will be sold without the possibility of being exploited. Obviously, such a scenario has happened before with ios 6 or 7 if I remember correctly and we've seen different jailbreak release schedules for ios 8 specifically due to that reason.

Right now most people with ios 8 devices are happy; with the rest of us on 9.x having a somewhat rocky experience. A difference of 2-3 weeks in releasing a good untethered can make a big difference for us users and the future itself. Most of the time apple devices are not updated automatically like windows, you still have to click on it. There is a big chance that retroactively many more users will benefit from a working 9.3 final or 9.4 jailbreak 1-2 years from now when we are still buying ios 9 devices from the store.

From a developer perspective there is also the prospect of bribing, I really think the fastest way to find a working hack if you got nothing so far is to go to WMDC see who worked on ios 10 and either ask them what "breaking" changes they implemented or fundamental architectural decisions (or just bribe them for the CVS itself). Fact is, jailbreak owners are very smart people, they are in this game for a while and they know better than us when to release stuff so it is better for the community.

While this is all a happy ending story I must add that most of this information is actually taken from real life, as apple shadow companies regularily sponsor jailbreak jailhackatons for prices from 1 to 5 million. It's a very cheap and tricky way to find out the smaller entrance points as these companies don't really pay unless you can manage to demo a fully untethered jb. The last one I checked out had the premise of making a fully tethered jb by using only the browser. A small team of people managed to find 4 unaccounted exploits during that hackaton and managed to demo an untethered jb but they ultimately didn't get paid because the browser was not the only entry point. In doing so, the company sponsoring that hackaton snatched 4 new exploits that weren't shared in the community at the time with 1 guy from evaders fanbois saying only 1 was completely unknown. That specific hackaton was reported by some media outlets because it was pure bullshit and shortly after I saw many websites on the internet promoting the browser exploit (the site I visited back then actually had malware that's the reason I had to update to 9.3.0 on my ipad )

So short story is there's big drama and trucks of money being made by exploiting apple devices and while apple (maybe) tries to protect their customers, hackers (surely) try to protect the open source idea ... everyone else is just trying to hack into the app store because it has 80% revenue. If you add this to the fact that from the % of people having a jailbroken device compared to the number of people having jailbroken a device to *CODE* on it is like 1/100 at least, it is unlikely we will get more freedom in the future.

My advice is follow the jailbreakers you respect on twitter, wait, or if you have any specific coding needs invest in an older device with your targeted version. If all you really need to do is hack a game consider quitting that game - if you logically are looking for a faster way to progress it means the game is not "fair" or it is not fair to waste your time on it (obviously doing something you feel is lower than you will get you into more trouble, with yourself);

TLDR if everyone is hacking a game and you cannot it might make more sense to take a break, enjoy the sun for a while, or everything else you cherish in life !

Peace
