Apple has not even released the new iOS 10 beta and it has been jailbroken just several days after it was announced and rolled out for developers.
Several iPhone users have been waiting for the iOS 9.3 jailbreaks and now that seems to be a moot point considering that there is already an iOS 10 jailbreak. Reports have also claimed that hacking communities were just waiting for the new update instead of working on the anticipated modified versions.
The new major update for iPhones and iPads has been unveiled at the recent Worldwide Developers Conference from Apple. They showed several new features that wowed the audiences.
Hacker iH8sn0w was able to jailbreak the iOS 10 beta version and his video shows evidence that his iPhone runs the jailbroken version of the new update, The Next Web has learned. Fans should not get their hopes up yet as the public beta of the new update is not even out yet and it could still contain more security measures.
Pangu was able to jailbreak the iOS 9.0.2 version several months back. After that, people waited for the iOS 9.3 modified versions for their iPhones but they never surfaced, except for that one from an Italian hacker who refused to share his hacking tool.
No hacking team has promised yet that they will bring iOS 10 jailbreaks once it releases by fall, Forbes reported. The good news is that the jailbreaking community has proven that they are still alive and kicking after almost a year or being inactive in releasing public hacking tools for their iPhones.
What users can do now is to just wait before updating to the new major version from Apple. However, it might be hard to resist the features included such as the capability to capture images in RAW format which allows them to have more quality and headroom for post-processing their photos through a laptop or a desktop computer.
Apple is releasing the iOS 10 public beta by July and the jailbreak could be expected several days or weeks after its final roll out by fall. Hopefully, there would already be jailbreakers willing to do the work in hacking the next major update.
