Apple unveiled its mobile operating system, iOS 10, during WWDC 2016.

There were speculations that Pangu has unlocked the iOS 10 jailbreak, but is withholding its release since the official has not been released yet.

Credible hacking group Pangu was successful in coming up with the jailbreak for iOS 9.3.3. However, Apple has introduced iOS 10 to developers and has seeded the iOS 10 developer preview.

According to Mobipicker, the Cupertino-based company released the beta version of iOS 10 to the public for testing the system. It is claimed that the Chinese development team may have already have managed to break the code.

The report added that Pangu has apparently shown the entire process of how to fully access iOS 10 during the Mobile Security Conference (MOSEC) held in China on July 1. In comparison with the other jailbreaks that took months to complete, Pangu may have jailbroken the version in no time.

It is believed that Pangu is waiting for September for Apple to release the official iOS 10 version. Apple may patch the security loopholes found in the developer version.

However, since the developers of the jailbreak tool have yet to comment on the matter officially, available information should be taken with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile, fans can get their hands on the current iOS 9.3.3. jailbreak while waiting for iOS 10 jailbreak release. However, reports claimed that iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak is clouded with security issues as some users claimed that there were unauthorized logins in some of their accounts.
