iOS 8.3 Jailbreak Details

iOS 8.3 was released today, but if you’re looking to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, you’ll have to wait, as details of an iOS 8.3 jailbreak are unknown at this point. iOS 8.3 includes a handful of new features, including more emoji that are racially diverse and support for using CarPlay wirelessly, as well as the usual bug fixes and performance improvements.

The first thing we must note about the latest software update is that it there is currently no jailbreak. Apple has left the probability of an iOS 8.3 jailbreak looking very remote as well, thanks to the inclusion of 39 security bugs. That’s a whole heap of bugs to squish in one hit, by anybody’s standards, and as jailbreak expert MuscleNerd points out via Twitter, it’s almost as many as was served when Apple made the transition to iOS 8 from very last editions of iOS 7.

Jailbreak iOS 8.3 - TaiG’s Next Tool

Again, we know TaiG is diligently working on a new iOS 8.3 jailbreak and it’s only a matter of time before we’re bestowed with a new utility. What we would have said last week for iOS 8.3’s public release (“it can be issued at any point in time – today, tomorrow, next week, etc.”) also applies to the TaiG jailbreak for 8.3 and its release.


With the likes of Pangu, PP and TaiG – as well as many of the longer-serving suspects – all having picked away at Apple’s firmware of late, the Cupertino has been kept on its toes from a security point of view. But while fans of Cydia tweaks enjoyed the first few months following iOS 8’s arrival, we’ve definitely hit something of a dry patch, and with iOS 8.3 looking as strong as any software release to date, the chances of it being jailbroken seem slim-to-none.
