The jailbreak turnaround for the latest iOS iteration has been stalled for quite some time now; however, that predicament has just changed with a public tool now already available to use.

Courtesy of Italian hacker Luca Todesco, Apple users can now marvel on iOS 10 following the release of the beta version of the jailbreak. And given that it is only in a trial version, fans who are looking to jump on the bandwagon are cautioned for its downsides such as susceptibility to bugs and stability issues. On top of that, since it is only in semi-untethered iteration, the process of jailbreaking one's device needs to be done over and over every time it is restarted.

While the latter issue is not really much of a hassle given that the the tool is app-based meaning one do not need to connect to a computer to jailbreak, the former needs a more serious consideration.

The scheme is said to have been tested for iPhone 7/7 Plus, 6S/6S Plus and the iPad Pro and it was found to be compatible to run only on iOS 10.1.1, which definitely narrows down users who can utilize the tool. Nevertheless, those who have been patiently waiting for a jailbreak can settle for this version as of now before the more formidable incantations roll out.

Fans have been pining for a release from Pangu, who appears to have just suddenly turned nuclear silent without any word regarding the delay of their regular releases. Intriguingly, the Chinese hacking team did not also give any message at all as to whether they are planning to still crack the code for the iOS 10 given that they are already so left behind in terms of updates or not. That being said, a lot of loyal followers of the group are still waiting for any releases especially when the internet is plagued with fake tools that can potentially damage one's device.
