A new easy and free unlock and jailbreak tool for Apple's iOS 10 has been released. All devices are supported except the iPad Pro and iPod Touch 6. As a result, the iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, 6, and 5 can now be jailbroken and unlocked, in addition to other devices running on iOS versions between iOS 9 and iOS 10.2.
The new jailbreak solution by Unlock-Jailbreak Team for iOS 10, iOS 10.0.1, iOS 10.0.2, iOS 10.1, iOS 10.2, and iOS 10.3 came as a surprise to many users. While this was a welcome surprise for users clamoring for an untethered jailbreak on Apple's latest mobile operating system, it still can still blind many people, according to Fox5Vegas.
The release meant that any susceptibilities used to exploit iOS 9.x enters the public sphere, leaving the Cupertino-based tech giant with no other option but to tear the jailbreak apart and patch any loopholes. Apple did this by patching the jailbreak in iOS 9.3.
The latest jailbreak allows users to customize iOS 10 in many ways not made possible through App Store. Users can include more options to the control center, tweak animations and shortcuts, and choose from a slew of interesting apps and tweaks in the Cydia jailbreak store. Some apps can even fake users' locations in apps like Pokemon GO.
The jailbreak community was intrigued big time with the surprise release of the iOS 10, iOS 10.0.1 - iOS 10.1, iOS 10.2 or iOS 10.3, and unlock tool by the jailbreak team in early August. Similar to the original jailbreak and unlock iPhone 1, 7 Plus, 6S, 6, 5S tool for iOS 10 firmware, this solution release was literally unexpected. It is great to have this Windows PC and Mac compatible tool for iOS 10.
The new tool is only available in English, which can be downloaded at Unlock iPhone. Although the new jailbreak works just fine, it is important to back up the device in iTunes before downloading, allowing users to restore their devices later after updating to iOS 10. Furthermore, the backup is crucial in case anything goes wrong, wherein users can restore back to the previous backup and try again.
To backup, go to iTunes, connect the device to the PC, right click on it under devices, and select backup. Here is footage for more information on iOS 10 jailbreak:
