Luca Todesco (qwertyqoruiop on Twitter) has apparently manage to achieve an iOS 9.2.1 Jailbreak, if the screenshot he posted (above) is to be believed. It shows Cydia running on an iPhone 6, powered by iOS 9.2.1.

Halloween approaches. You’re meeting up with friends at the bar, all dressed up for some disorienting fun. So disorienting, you might drop your phone off somewhere strange.

Falling back and jailbreaking iOS 9.0.2 just got tougher
Jailbreaking iOS is made simple by a great community of hackers, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have to figure out a ton of steps in order to make it that simple.

There is a safety time in most scenarios in case you did, but in the case of iOS 9, that window just closed.Those of you that updated to iOS 9.1 by accident will be sad to know that now you’re stuck.
