The release of the iOS 9.3.5 update rendered the jailbreak for the previous operating system (OS) versions useless. Now, people are asking if jailbreaking teams will launch a new tool for the current version, but recent reports suggest otherwise.

Popular jailbreaking team Pangu is skipping an iOS 9.3.5 jailbreak tool and is instead focusing on the next major OS upgrade – the iOS 10, Yibada reported. Rumor has it that they are already working on it, thus they cannot be held back to release a tool for the current iOS versions since these will soon be replaced by the iOS 10.

The iOS 10 is likely to come soon, as it is expected to be showcased in its entirety during Apple's keynote event on Sept. 7. Its launch will soon follow and if rumors are true, Pangu will release a jailbreak tool for it.

The Cupertino-based company is strengthening its stand against jailbreaks, mainly because of security concerns. A report from Game N Guide indicated that even though Pangu was able to show off a cracked iOS 10 beta at the MOSEC 2016, more patches may have been added since then that may thwart their efforts.

Back to the iOS 9.3.5, The New York Times previously reported that this was released as a security patch in light of the privacy intrusions by the Israeli group NSO. The group launched a  piece of software that can track a handset without being detected.

Apple's latest iOS software update patched three previously unknown security vulnerabilities, so all users are recommended to download and install the iOS 9.3.5.

However, this would mean that those who have jailbroken their iOS 9.3.4 device would have to give up their cracked operating systems. Forbes noted that the patch may also be an attempt by Apple to ward off jailbreaking.

The iOS 9.3.5 can be downloaded to the iPhone 4s and later, iPad 2 and later, iPad Mini and later, fifth generation iPod Touch and later, and to all iPad Pros.
