According to iDigitalTimes, they have been contacted by a reputable member of the jailbreak community and discussed in some detail how far along the jailbreak was and how much longer it would be before reaching the public. Cammy Harbison has been a writer for iDigitalTimes for quiet some time. She has reported speaking firsthand to this unnamed source.
She went through a pretty extensive list of iOS hackers and stating whether or not they would be likely to release an iOS 8 jailbreak. Seems to me all the big names we have come to know in the community have dropped out and lost interest. Pod2G just to name one of most well know hackers stated, “he was sick of iPhones.” That’s a really bad thing for the future of the community. These guys had stated all along they had enough exploits for many new jailbreaks to come. But it seems these guys haven’t passed the torch so to speak.
Check out what Cammy had to say in conclusion:
The final possible player is actually a complete unknown — meaning I have no idea who it is, or if the person or group is familiar to the community. But, according to a source that I cannot name but has reputability in the community, there is a party, which is at least partially on the way to an iOS 8 jailbreak. According to my source, “this party has kernel code execution … and is interested in publishing an iOS 8 jb.” It’s hard to assess how likely it is that this unknown will produce a jailbreak, but I can say I trust my source and if there’s at least kernel execution, then that’s something.
So there you have it folks. Most of our recognized players are either out of the mix or face extreme challenges this iOS 8 jailbreak cycle, but still we are not without hope. At any time, some of our old friends may get the itch to work out a jailbreak after all – we saw this during the iOS 6 jailbreak cycle. Meanwhile, new blood may just offer something surprising. The sky is the limit with the future of jailbreaking. If and when anything promising comes along, you can be sure I’ll be reporting it.
So I guess we will just have to wait and see what the future brings. What do you think? Do you think we will see an iOS 8 Jailbreak soon or at all?
