It seems the wait for iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak will finally be over as new reports suggest the highly anticipated iOS jailbreak is soon to get a release date.

According to NeuroGadget, famous hacker group Pangu might release iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak sometime this week. It is to be noted that there's no confirmation from Pangu about a possible public roll out.

Recently, the popular jailbreak team Pangu showcased a working iOS 10 jailbreak at the MOSEC (Mobile Security Conference) 2016 event held in China. The team demonstrated the jailbreak running on iOS 10 beta 1. They present a number of photos that portrayed Cydia running on the latest iOS version. While, the team did not announce a release date for Apple iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak, they did discuss about privacy problem in iOS 9.3.2.

There are also reports which claim that jailbreak team might opt to release iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak tool instead of the iOS 9.3.2 version. The reason behind it being privacy and bug issues present in iOS 9.3.2. The upcoming update iOS 9.3.3, which is currently in beta testing, is expected to be released soon.

Another rumor is pointing out that Pangu might not release the iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak at all. It is expected that as the team has already demonstrated iOS 10 jailbreak, they might just concentrate on it and not go back to iOS 9.

The last jailbreak tool released by the Pangu team was for iOS 9.1. The same was released in March 2016. However, the jailbreak tool turned out to be of no use as post its release the tech giant had patched the vulnerabilities in iOS 9.3.1. Also, most of the users had already upgraded to a later firmware version by the time the jailbreak was released.

As there are a lot of fake iOS 9.3.2 jailbreak tools currently in circulation around the internet, we would like to advise our readers to wait for any reliable source to release it.
