To date, there is no official iOS 9.2 jailbreak and the best news that Apple users can get right now is that the Pangu and TaiG groups are reportedly close to coming out one.

That is the good news.

The bad news is that for Apple owners who upgrade to iOS 9.2.1, that awaited jailbreak is useless. It is the same case as the previous ones, meaning the cat-and-mouse game continues and the hackers are severely falling behind.

Of course, there is the usual recourse of holding back any iOS update should a notification pop up at one's phone. But then again, do remember also means holding back patches and important and official updates in the process.

The last iOS jailbreak dates back to iOS 9.0 last year which could be useful (though unwise) for folks who have held back on the updating circle.

Users are also warned to be wary of fake jailbreaks that have recently been coming out. Fake developers have been coming out with the alleged jailbreaks which are nothing more than additional trouble while building on such.

Rest assured and unless it comes from credible teams like Pangu or TaiG, it would be best to forego any plans to jailbreak the device for safety and lesser problems one may eventually come across.

With no jailbreak in sight, it may be best to see what iOS 9.2.1 brings. The most important of them all is perhaps a fix to the celebrated Error 53 bricking that some iPhone owners ended up with due to unauthorized Touch IDs.

For those who haven't heard, the previous iOS update left phones with tampered home buttons bricked. Even though the issue has received plenty of complaints, it technically weeds out owners who have opted to have their phones fixed by a third-party and most likely unauthorized technician.
