Good news for all Apple fans who have been waiting for some updates on the jailbreak of iOS 9.3.3. The Cupertino-based company's latest operating system can now be jailbroken.

According to a report by MNR Daily, one user has already successfully jailbroken iOS 9.3.3 despite Apple's efforts to prevent hackers from giving the freedom to modify the operating system. The user, identified as Italian developer Luca Tedesco, claimed that he found a way to jailbreak the recent iOS 9.3.3 update for iPhones and iPads. He showed a photo of an iPod touch with the Cydia app while on iOS 9.3.3.

However, he may not be able to share the method to the public. Tech 2 wrote that the tool used to jailbreak the Apple OS is still not available for the public to use. There is even no definite answer as to why it is not out yet. As of the current, the only versions of iOS that can be jailbroken are those between iOS 9.0 and iOS 9.1.

Yibada noted though that Todesco intentionally did not want to immediately release the tool used in hacking the OS just like how he was able to successfully jailbreak the previous versions. But he may be releasing the said jailbreak version after a decade. There are also reports saying that Todesco got the magic formula to the jailbreak because he was claimed to be working for Apple.

Not all hope is gone though as a group of Apple users are said to be working on releasing their jailbreak version to the public. The group, called the GSMagic Team, was able to demo their iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak on the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 6. And unlike Todesco, they are willing to share their jailbreak version.

Meanwhile, Apple users can look forward to the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2016, which is said to unveil the iOS 10 in the next few weeks.
