Pangu is compatible with all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models on iOS 9 through iOS 9.0.2, this includes iPhone 4S, 5/5c/5s, 6/6 Plus, 6s/6s Plus, iPad 2/3/4, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini, iPad mini 2/3/4 and the iPod touch 5th and 6th generations. Jailbreaking enables iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to install unapproved third party apps, tweaks, mods, custom themes, utilities and other content from Cydia, an unofficial App Store for jailbroken devices. It should be noted jailbreaking your device's software violates your End User License Agreement (EULA) and voids your warranties on your iOS device. We highly recommended that you back up your data through iTunes before attempting to jailbreak your device, as you may encounter issues or errors that could result in data loss or corruption making your iOS device useless. iOS jailbreaks are also available on iOS 7 and iOS 8. What do you think of jailbreaking ? Will you jailbreak your iOS device now ?
