The iOS Jailbreak for the iOS 10 was recently demonstrated by the Chinese jailbreak group Pangu during the Mobile Security Conference (MOSEC) event held in Shanghai, China on July 1.
There were ongoing rumors that the jailbreak group plans to release a jailbreak for Apple's iOS 9.3.2 or 9.3.3; however, this information seems unlikely according to a technology blog writer Stephen Chang.
The Pangu group demonstrated to the audience how they were able to run Cydia in a beta version of the iOS 10. Cydia, which was developed by Jay Freeman, is basically a package manager or distribution platform that enables owners of a jailbroken iOS device to install software.
The Pangu team at the conference did discuss the security vulnerabilities of the iOS 9.3.2. This sparked unconfirmed reports that the group is preparing to release a jailbreak version for it. However, this was denied by MOSEC organizers and had no comment on the rumor.
Pangu acknowledged that it is becoming hard for them to jailbreak the iOS, since Apple is stepping up its security. They were able to jailbreak iOS 10 since it is still a beta version, but it will be a different story though with final version.
Officially, the Pangu group has not made any announcement on the release of a jailbreak version for Apple's iOS 9.3.2 or 9.3.3 or even the iOS 10.
Meanwhile, since the iOS is a locked system and the only way to download new software is through the Apple App Store, many users are not satisfied with only a single source and would want to tweak the iOS to better suit their tastes.
However, this may also put jailbroken iPhones and iPads at risks with viruses and malwares, plus users who jailbreak their Apple devices also violate their End User License Agreement (EULA, which means that the user loses any warranty from Apple if something goes wrong. There are also malwares that are specifically targeting jailbroken iOS devices, as users are risking the theft of their personal data if they are not careful.
