Many iPhone and iPad users have been patiently waiting for a working jailbreak tool to crack the current iOS 10 version. Since the full version of the iOS 10 rolled out last September, there have been rumors that the crack for the said OS version will be released very soon. However, several weeks later, the public has yet to see a functional iOS 10 jailbreak software. Many people have grown impatient due to the delayed release fo the iOS 10 crack, although the recent reports suggest that the iOS 10 jailbreak is just around the corner.

As reported by the Neurogadget, mobile hackers are already successful in developing the jailbreak tool for the iOS 10. Previous reports suggest that the hackers, specifically the Chine-based hacker group Pangu, are just waiting for the right timing to release the jailbreak software for the latest iOS version. This right timing is when Apple already released the first major update for the iOS 10. For the past several days, Apple already released the iOS 10.1 major update. It was noted that the major update was mostly focused on the Apple health app, although the full extent of the altered codes following the major update is not yet known.

Neurogadget also reported the recent leaks of the said iOS 10 jailbreak circulating on the internet. The said leaked jailbreak tool for the iOS 10 is said to be from Pangu, who was also the first hacker group to release a working jailbreak software for the iOS 9.3. However, it appears that Pangu does not want to make the iOS 10 crack available to the public for the time being. 

iTech Post noted that Apple has already begun seeding the beta version of the next iOS 10 major update. The iOS 10.2 update will surely affect the work done by the hackers to successfully jailbreak the operating system, so the official release of the jailbreak tool might be compromised once again. Still, the iOS users are hopeful that the iOS 10 jailbreak will be made public before all is said and done.
