iOS 12 Jailbreak On The Way - DO NOT UPGRADE TO 12.1.1!
There has been some unexpected movement in the iOS jailbreak community. A new powerful iOS/macOS Safari sandbox escape has been published, affecting iOS 12.0 through iOS 12.1, with many feeling that it could ultimately yield an iOS 12.x jailbreak going forward.
The latest information published is an iOS and macOS Safari sandbox escape via a heap overflow bug in Apple’s QuartzCore framework. This is the framework that Apple provides in its iOS and macOS SDKs that contains the classes and supporting elements for all Core Animation functionality and techniques within Apple’s ecosystem. It also contains APIs and information pertinent to Core Image. There is a function within the QuartzCore framework that “does not notice the case of integer overflow,” which is what has allowed this work to happen and be published with a documented exploit.
There is also a belief that the previously published Pangu Team IOHID vulnerability could be used in conjunction with this latest discovery and publication to produce an iOS 12.0 to iOS 12.1 jailbreak going forward.
There has been a fair bit of chatter on Reddit from developers like @pwn20wnd who have suggested that this work could take an additional 3-6 months to actually see the light of day in terms of public-facing jailbreak as the Pangu work hasn’t been offered as a plug-and-play solution

I´m on iOs 9.3.3 , do you recomend update to 12.1 before this firmware is not signed anymore...?
I would never tell anyone what to or not to do . It is slippery slope.
There is lots of vulnerabilities out there no idea when but there will be a iOS 12.x Jailbreak. Many apps will and prob do not work on iOS 9.3.3 so you will have see is it worth it to you. Maybe look for newer device on 12.x And sell yours jailbroken after you Jailbreak a newer one.

but ios 12 release on September 17, 2018 but video uploaded on Jun 16, 2018 !!
The video is simply a proof of concept using the beta in June.
Over the last week two major exploits on the RELEASE version of iOS 12.1 have been discovered.
One of the exploits is in a holding pattern for 80 days before the developer will publish what it is as they are giving Apple an opportunity to push out updates.
Soon may be a bit of a stretch goal.
I'd probably put the release window in the 90-day time frame.

That depends. I generally never recommend anyone move from a JB'able iOS version to a non-JB'able version on the expectation that a break is coming.
Here's my thinking on the matter:
i. If you depend on your JB for critical items, customization and hacks, no, stay where you are.
ii. If you're on 9.3.3 JB'd - you might as well take the risk and upgrade while 12.1 is still being signed. The revisions in iOS 12 - the speed improvements, UI improvements, more efficient use of memory and compression, etc. found in 12, to me, make it worth letting go of the JB.
Not to mention more and more apps are going to stop working, claim they're no longer supporting you, or not allow you to download the latest version because you're too far behind.
iOS 13 due later in 2019 is supposed to be a major overhaul in the vein of what iOS 7 was and when that's released, I fully expect an abandonment of 9 users.
God I miss the days where you could save your SHSH blobs and reinject them. It allowed us to move up and down to any firmware ver. at our own whim and choosing irrespective of whether Apple was still signing the FM.

Ufff, it was a golden era. I miss those days too.
Thank you for your support...
