The Pangu Team has demonstrated a jailbreak of iOS 8.3 at the MOSEC security conference in Shanghai, according to Tools4Hack.

The report is in Japanese and quite difficult to translate; however, it appears as though the reporter is hopeful that we could see the team release a jailbreak once iOS 8.4 drops.

“If I had to take a guess, since the pangu team is the kind of team to put out jail break tools pretty quickly, depending on the development situation. once ios8.4 is released, they should definitely have a jail break in a couple of days.”

"But, on the 8th (japan time 9th at 2am), the official iOS 8.4 release date is to be announced, so all we can do in the mean time is wait."

The Pangu Team successively released untethered jailbreak tools for iOS 7.1.x and iOS 8.0-8.1 back in 2014 and was the first to publicly jailbreak iOS 8. It's unclear if their iOS 8.3 jailbreak will work on iOS 8.4; however, we've already seen a jailbreak of iOS 8.4 beta 1 demonstrated by i0n1c, so it's definitely a possibility.

They should wait so they don't burn the last few exploits that are left.

It seems that Apple is postponing the release of iOS 8.4 because of the new music streaming which is not completed yet or the licensing is not ready so we might have to wait a few more weeks for the jailbreak, I believe it would be better then releasing for iOS 8.3 which is still full of bugs that I'm sure that Apple fixed many of them on 8.4 and if they will release the jailbreak now, Apple will block it on 8.4 so a couple of weeks can't hurt.

I hope the actually wait on release, unless they know the exploits were burned.

If this is a reality, then, thank you dev's! 8.1.2 crashed, stuck on 8.2, feels like a brick.

That was my hardest decision, give up the jailbreak upgrade and use the Apple Watch or wait. After more then 2 weeks with the Apple Watch sitting in my draw I couldn't take it any more and made the mistake of upgrading so I can use the new Watch! All I can say is that I rather have my tweaks back and Apple can have their watch back!!!!
