Tigris Dev Team Working on iOS 11 Jailbreak
Developer Antique Dev is known as a reputable tweak developer within the community. However, he is now planning to move onto security research and hacking.
Here’s a tweet from Antique Dev’s official Twitter handle.
iOS 11 ‘aka’ Tigris.
The almighty surprise coming just after work due to falling asleep yesterday 😀

He has already formed a dev team called “Tigris” comprising Antique Dev and other notable hackers and developers. Tigris Dev Team will be working to develop a jailbreak for the upcoming versions of iOS 11 firmware.
The upcoming Tigris jailbreak will be compatible with all 64-bit devices running iOS 11 firmware. It will be fully stable and semi-untethered at least.
The Tigris Dev Team also intends to port iOS 11 jailbreak to iOS 10.3.x if their exploits remain functional.
Here’s a list of its members of this brand new team –
- Antique Dev
- BallisticDiamond
- coolfool245
- NickiLolzz
The team also has some other members apart from the developers given above. They only have 2 iOS devices at the moment – iPod Touch 6G and iPhone 6.
The name “Tigris” is a reference to the codename of iOS 11 firmware, “TigrisSeed”.
Tigris Jailbreak Release Date
I wasn’t able to ascertain more details about this upcoming jailbreak. I don’t think they possess a 0-day exploit like Team Pangu.
Hopefully, Antique Dev will release a few more teasers and details before the jailbreak goes live.
Antique Dev is highly trusted and releases tweaks free of cost for the jailbreak community. However, Tigris Dev Team is a new team on the scene and hence it might take them some time to release a working jailbreak.
It’s still great to have a new team come forward and announcing a jailbreak because not many hackers are willing to work on a jailbreak now.
One thing is sure – we will be getting a jailbreak this time around.

I’m currently on 10.3.3. It doesn’t sound as though anyone is working on that jailbreak. When 11 releases, would it be advised to update to ios 11 since this sounds more promising?
Hello, bryce. Yes, I would recommend upgrading to iOS 11 provided there’s no jailbreak development going on for iOS 10.3.3.
It would be nice, would not be? A lot of people hopes are very low, we deal what we have so far, some people stayed on older iOS, some updated to the newer versions because they want security and some new features. I honestly believe it is not worthy anymore to wait for Jailbreak, just update to the latest version. If you just wait for free apps via appsync it’s such a long wait in between jailbreaks that most of the people will save enough money to purchase apps anyway (you should support developers anyway). On the other hand, if you really enjoy tweaks you must wait and you stuck on old iOS. just not fair to people who enjoy tweaking their hardware, regardless if it’s phone, car, vacuum cleaner, tennis racket, shoes, remote control.
Yes, you’re correct. Many people have started updating to the latest firmware already.
