iOS 9.2 Untethered Jailbreak (Status)

It’s been more than 2 months since Apple killed the iOS 9.0.x jailbreak, and in that time we’ve seen the public release of iOS 9.1, 9.2, and a beta version of 9.2.1, with no update to the Pangu tool. So as you can imagine, we’ve received a lot of questions regarding the current status of the jailbreak. Here is what we know so far.

3K Assistant, TaiG’s partner had announced that they had made a breakthrough in jailbreaking iOS 9.2, and they hope to release an untethered iOS 9.2 jailbreak tool soon.

Stephen Chan of Superphen.co who was first to report the news, provides the English translation of 3K Assistant’s announcement:
It has been 8 days since iOS 9.2 has been officially released. In those 8 days, 3K Assistant has been industrious on iOS 9.2 jailbreak. Our effort was rewarded, after 8 days of hard work, 3K Assistant has finally made some breakthrough on iOS 9.2.
Although iOS 9.2 is yet completely jailbroken, I believe in the very near future, iOS 9.2 untethered jailbreak will be presented to all of you. Jailbreakers please be patient in waiting and expecting…
All in all, there will be iOS 9.2 jailbreak tool, it’s just a matter of time.
Since they haven’t completely jailbroken iOS 9.2, it is probably difficult to provide an ETA, but they seem to be confident that they will be able to release an iOS 9.2 jailbreak tool.

What now? Now we sit and wait. The aforementioned teams aren’t much for status updates, and they have been extremely sporadic with recent releases. An iOS 9.2 jailbreak could literally come at anytime. So for those of you anxiously awaiting its arrival, be sure to stay tuned to our website, because as soon as we know more, you’ll know.

Should you update to iOS 9.2?
It really depends on your situation. Obviously, if you are on iOS 9.0.x and are either enjoying a jailbreak or still considering it, you should stay put. If you’re on iOS 9.1, that’s a tougher call, because although it’s extremely unlikely we’ll see an iOS 9.1-only jailbreak, it’s possible. For what it’s worth, if I were on 9.1, I would update.
