It has been months since iOS 10 was released and supporters of jailbreak tools have been worried about the silence of the Chinese group of programmers known as Pangu. However, another noted hacker Luca Todesco recently revealed that he finally broke iOS 10.1.1.

Pangu has been a reliable group for jailbreak tool supporters over the years. But Apple has already released iOS 10.1.1, which means there have been several updates released already, in a relatively faster time compared to that in the past. But Pangu has not said a word about its plans.

Jailbreak tools gain a considerably great number of supporters. It works by utilizing the operating system's exploits and lets Apple users root their device and install Apple-restricted apps.

Meanwhile, another known hacker Luca Todesco posted a photo on his Twitter page that suggests that he has found a way to finally break the supposedly unbreakable iOS 10. The only problem is, Todesco does not say whether or not he will release it for everyone else to use.

Earlier reports expressed that there is a possibility the quicker time it takes for Apple to release updates recently might have been a problem for Pangu.

Followers of Todesco were eager to learn that iOS 10 is still breakable, as the hackers posted photo suggests. Many of them are encouraging Todesco to collaborate with Pangu to accomplish a jailbreak tool that will be available for everyone.

However, reports say that Todesco is not even expected to share the tool with the public, let alone reach out to Pangu to plan on releasing a publicly available jailbreak tool.

Right after Todesco posted the photo of jailbroken iPhone, he followed up with another tweet saying, "Updated my stuff so it works on 10.1 too now."

Fans of jailbreak tools remain hopeful that their ever-reliable source, Pangu, will soon accomplish and release it for them to enjoy as well especially now that Todesco had proven multiple times that iOS 10 can still be broken.
