The Cupertino-based tech giant, Apple, is upping its game with regard to Operating System updates. The company suddenly released iOS 10.0.1 update a few weeks after the rollout of iOS 10, which effectively had Pangu and TaiG struggling to catch up.
It came as a surprise when Apple dropped the first upgrade for iOS 10. According to Forbes, the file size depends on the kind of device that users choose to apply the new software to, which means that there is no specific code for all devices to give jailbreaking groups a difficult time in cracking the latest codes. The release update makes any moves already in place for jailbreaking iOS 10 unlikely.
Pangu was inclined to skip the last update for iOS 9 that came just a few days before the iPhone 7 equipped with the latest iOS premiered. From the look of things, the Chinese hacker is already two steps behind Apple. The problem is believed to be rooted from Cydia-related issues, which eventually affect the overall project.
Italian security researcher, Luca Tedesco, was able to infiltrate the system, adding to Pangu's problems proving that it might not be that difficult to break into iOS 10. The reputable independent code hacker posted a snapshot on his successful attempt on Twitter. However, just as always, it is unlikely that Tedesco will publicly release his jailbreak tool.
The latest iOS 10.0.1 update brings small but important improvements for better iPhone usage. The improvements include the prevention of "Hey Siri" request bugs and some Bluetooth connection issues. Audio quality as well is said to have been refined and some stability improvements with the Camera and Contacts apps.
iOS 10.0.1 will reportedly remove any jailbreak that users might have installed. Meanwhile, the ever watchful Apple Support Community has reports of a few isolated iOS 10.0.1 cases with regard to jumbled camera rolls, disappearing keyboards, and issues with iCloud backups, although there is no momentum behind any of them for now, according to Apple official website.
