iOS 8.2 Jailbreak Release Date News: Likely After March 27 Mobile Security Summit

The iOS 8.2 jailbreak will reportedly arrive on March 27 or early April 2015 following rumors that the jailbreak will be released after the Mobile Security Summit, or MSS, in Beijing, China, on March 27.

The latest iOS 8.2 was earlier released last March 9 at the press event for the Apple Watch and Apple MacBook.

The MSS is a jailbreak convention organized by TaiG. It will be attended by prominent hackers and key members of the jailbreak community including comex, P0sixninja, Pimskeks and Chrnoic. The TaiG team plans to bring its own version of JailbreakCon to mainland China with the intent of enabling security experts all over the world to come together and share their wealth of knowledge on mobile security with prominent members of the jailbreak community. It has been dubbed (by TaiG) as the "most authoritative annual domestic first mobile security summit" in the history of jailbreak conventions.

The convention would be the perfect time and opportunity to seed the iOS 8.2 jailbreak to iOS devices before the releases of iOS 8.3 and iOS 9.

The jailbreak was anticipated from TaiG and another Chinese developer Pangu – teams that have successfully released jailbreak versions of iOS 8 updates. TaiG confirmed that iOS 8.2 is jailbreakable and the team is currently working on its beta version to breach its security.

TaiG has actually announced that it has almost completed the untethered jailbreak versions for the new iOS version. However, they want to ensure the jailbreak is flawless, thus the delay in the release.

Apple users who would want to jailbreak their devices should really need stay away from the official version of the iOS 8.2. According to Apple, 77 percent of iOS devices are already running with the latest iOS 8.
