When is iOS 10 jailbreak release happening now that Apple has deployed version 10.1 of the new mobile operating system? As indicated in numerous reports and rumors, Team Pangu is just about ready with the iPhone and iPad unlocking tool and will make it public following the next big iOS update.
And as iOS 10.1, which according to MacRumors is the third and biggest update of the iOS 10 series, is now readily available over-the-air, it is a safe bet that the ball is now on Pangu's court and that the Chinese hacking team will make its next move real soon. If the previous rumors will prove correct that a jailbreak is just waiting to be finalized, the devs will likely issue their latest opus in the next few weeks or with luck in the coming few days.
Cydia creator Jay Freeman, also known as Saurik, has previously stated that since Pangu has already demoed that iOS 10 can be jailbroken the team is probably the best source of the next jailbreaking tool. Saurik added that in the checks that he had undertaken, it is only Pangu that has the credibility to rollout a public jailbreak and the group has made some serious progress after showing off Cydia running on iOS 10 a few months back.
While iH8sn0w was considered a candidate, the dev has no history of creating a jailbreak tool for public. At best, iH8sn0w paves the way for the jailbreak work to start and let others to wrap up. The same goes for Luca Todesco - he provided multiple proofs that despite the claims that Apple has now an airtight control of iOS 10, the software remains open for modifications.
So a Pangu iOS 10 jailbreak is likely touching down soon enough but while waiting, Gotta Be Mobile recommends a few things to remember in order to ensure that jailbreak fans are ready when the tool is finally unpacked.
First off, the GBM report said that when the next jailbreak is unleashed it will certainly work on devices that run on iOS 10, the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus including. This is to dispel the rumors that Pangu's JB tool may not work on Apple latest flagship.
In the same way, jailbreak fans need to watch for scams and there are many of them. Two things that indicate a jailbreak is fake - not from Pangu or any other known jailbreak devs and payment is demanded by the source. Jailbreaks have always been free so when cash is involve, one should definitely smell of scam in the making.
Most importantly, jailbreak fans excited to taste what Pangu has in store for them must stay away from iOS 10.1 as the software will surely lock them out of the jailbreak tool as designed by Apple. To ensure that accidental upgrade will not happen, take advantage of Cydia's NO PLS RECOVERY, which GBM said will preserve an iPhone or iPad's jailbroken mode until the official iOS 10 jailbreak release, likely to happen anytime in November 2016.
