i0n1c is a talented hacker, and based on his past body
of work, we have no doubt that this demonstration is real. Just don’t expect a
public jailbreak for iOS 8.4 or any other firmware to come from i0n1c. This is
for his personal work, and he’s very proud of his work, hence he is showing it
off in this dazzling new video. Jailbreak
iOS 8.4 Untethered Update; TaiG or Pangu, How to Jailbreak 8.4 and 8.3
Possibility – As we progress forward into 2015, a question that’s gnawing
at the back of mind of the jailbreak world as a whole is whether there will be
a solution to jailbreak iOS 8.3. In light of the fact that the iOS 8.1.2
Untethered TaiG and PP jailbreak utilities were officially patched by iOS
8.1.3, as well as iOS 8.2, iOS 8.3 and the new iOS 8.4 beta for that matter,
and that downgrades to 8.1.2 are no longer possible.
Well-known
jailbreak developer Stefan Esser (also known as i0n1c) has uploaded a video to
YouTube that shows off a working jailbreak that appears to be running on iOS
8.4 beta 1. Esser says that this is merely just a “proof of concept” and like
his past jailbreak teases, he most likely won’t release it anytime soon.
In
the video, this is embedded below, Esser shows off his iOS 8.4 jailbreak and
plays around with the Apple Watch app and then new Music app that will be
included with the upcoming update. He clearly shows that Cydia is running on
iOS 8.4, which is a clear sign that this is pretty legit.
Stefan
Esser, who goes by the name of i0n1c, has managed to jailbreak iOS 8.4. He
posted a video proof of it, showing his iPhone 6 Plus running jailbroken iOS
8.4 beta 1.
Jailbreakers
gonna jailbreak, and that’s exactly what the engineers at Apple are trying to
avoid happening with each and every new release of iOS. When the company pushed
iOS 8.3 out to the public it plugged
even more exploits used
by TaiG and unfortunately that meant that jailbreaking just wasn’t possible
if you wanted to use the latest, and most stable version of Apple’s iPhone and
iPad software.
The
video demonstration by the hacker proved an actual jailbreak for iOS 8.4 beta
1, but don’t expect a public iOS jailbreak tool iOS 8.4 or any other firmware
from i0n1c.
No
doubt this seems to be great news for all Jailbreakers, but actually it’s not.
Because
i0n1c has not released any iOS jailbreak tool for iOS 8.4 beta 1 and neither
he’ll. So, don’t get excited for an iOS jailbreak tool for 8.4 beta 1.
