Apple users will be happy to know that a new jailbreak for the iOS 10 will finally be available.

Fans have been waiting patiently for the release of a jailbreak for the iOS 10 as Pangu has taken a while to release a jailbreak for the updated OS. Pangu, best known for their jailbreak updates, were slow in releasing a jailbreak for the iOS 10 due to the quick-changing updates of Apple.

Reports stated that Apple deliberately kept updating its OS in order to keep any jailbreaks for being enabled. This posed as a real challenge for many jailbreaking developers because they had to keep changing their software.

However, reports stated that the update for the Apple iOS 10 jailbreak will cater to iOS 10.2, which is Apple's most recent update. As of the moment, developers are working hard in order to get past the new update and release it on time.

Many are excited for the jailbreak, especially after Luca Tedesco, a well-known hacker showed that his iOS 10.1 was already jailbroken. Known for his quick hacks into the Apple iOS, many fans are hoping that he will work closely with developers such as Pangu in order to deliver updated jailbreaks.

With that, there has yet to be any news on when the jailbreak will be available. Many speculate that it could still be a while, since Apple revealed that the new iOS 10 is the most reliable operating system they have developed.

Nevertheless, there is a lot of optimism regarding the upcoming jailbreak especially due to the new features that it could present. Since the iOS 10 presented new additions to their iMessage app, many speculate that this could be something that the jailbreak will explore.
