A jailbreak tool for the iOS 9.3.3, the latest of Apple's mobile operating system currently in beta stages, actually exists but it won't be for the public to feast on.

Italian hacker and developer Luca Todesco managed to jailbreak the iOS 9.3.3 beta on his iPod Touch not long after the software was rolled out. However, he emphasized that the jailbreak will only be for him to enjoy.

We'll do it. Actually we have already started. Sorry for keeping you waiting. teruzane @ritch_diaz @utadahikaru Still Waiting for a confirma

It is unclear why Todesco won't release the iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak, but if anything, it definitely serves a proof that the operating system is not as impenetrable as the lack of jailbreak tools in the previous months make it seem it is.

There's no news from top jailbreak teams Pangu and TaiG about their own iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak release despite Todesco showing that it is possible.

Pangu released the latest jailbreak tool earlier this year. It was an iOS 9.1 jailbreak so not many users benefited as the iOS 9.2 and iOS 9.3 are already out around that time. After that rollout, there has been nothing but silence.

The last real jailbreak that majority of jailbreak users actually managed to take advantage of was the one for the iOS 9 and 9.1, which was released back in October.

With what has happened in the jailbreaking world in the past months, there is a reason to worry that new jailbreak tools may take a while to arrive or not get here at all, especially with the developers being a bit too silent about possible releases.

Despite all this, an iOS 9.3 jailbreak is still expected to come out before the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) this June. However, fans would not want to get their hopes on this one as this may not happen.

According to Forbes, hackers including TaiG and Pangu might be waiting for the iOS 10 to come out and just start the jailbreaking schemes from there.

This mobile operating system is expected to debut next month at the said Apple event. It is said that developers are looking to focus their efforts on the said software instead since it will be one of the biggest updates for the iOS community.
