The iOS 9.3.3 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is official and Apple users are now just waiting for it to roll after WWDC 2016, which is being held from June 13 to 17. However, while everyone else is looking forward for the update, some are fixed on searching for the jailbreak. But will iOS 9.3.3 ever have a jailbreak?

As of the moment, there are still no available jailbreak solutions for the new update. Popular hackers like TaiG and Pangu have nothing new for Apple fans, while known Italian hacker Luca Todesco claimed that he has the tool for the jailbreak but will not release it. Fans are now feeling hopeless, especially after the scam of a new jailbreak team called GSMagic.

Mobipicker detailed that GSMagic made a lot of buzz after spreading fake news that they will be releasing the jailbreak tool. They announced a release date of June 10 and even defended themselves about being a scam. They also engaged in a Twitter war with i0n1c jailbreak-maker Stefan Esser and Todesco, claiming that they will release the tool.

Apparently, the netizens were right with their hunch when GSMagic surrendered a day before their alleged release date. Value Walk detailed that the team announced via their Twitter account that they "failed" in obtaining the jailbreak tool. They then suspended indefinitely their project and closed their accounts from the public, which means not all can access them now and the tweet is no longer available.

However, prior to locking their accounts from the public, they managed to warn everyone that they will no longer be responsible for the account and will not be accountable in case of Trojan or virus download through that account.

The question now is if an iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak will ever come or it will remain just a possibility. Apple has already launched the beta version of the Apple iOS 9.3.3 and updates have been made already. This means that there are new features, including heightened security. Will hackers still be able to jailbreak despite that? Apple fans will have to watch out for updates if they are determined to get a jailbreak.
