For the past several weeks, the iOS users have been waiting patiently for a fully functional iOS 10 jailbreak tool. Since the full version of the iOS 10 was released last September, there were no confirmed reports from several mobile hacking groups, particularly the Pangu team, regarding the release of an iOS 10 crack. For one, Pangu, the Chinese hacker group behind the successful iOS 9.0 crack, is expected by many to release the iOS 10 jailbreak soon. Unfortunately, there are rumors suggesting that Pangu may not be the first group to release the jailbreak tool for the iOS 10. If anything, the public may have to be patient and wait for another round of weeks.

According to the latest rumors, Pangu and other known mobile phone hackers are just waiting for the right timing to release the iOS 10 jailbreak tool. The right moment to develop a working iOS 10 crack is said to be the next major update of the iOS 10. Apple is reported to kick off the latest beta version of the iOS 10.2, and if the rumors are to be believed, the first ever iOS 10 jailbreak tool might be released after the full version of the iOS 10.2 rolls out.

Other names of known hackers aside from the Pangu team have been rumored to release the first iOS 10 crack. The popular Italian hacker, Luca Todesco, is expected by some to release his iOS 10 exploits for the public's use, but he has not given any signs of releasing his own iOS 10 jailbreaker anytime soon.

According to Neurogadget, the full version of the iOS 10.2 will be released this December. If Pangu will be successful to develop the iOS 10 crack by then, the OS can be unlocked shortly after the iOS 10.2 release. A lot of things can still happen after the iOS 10.2 is released in the coming weeks, so it is better to wait for Pangu's official announcement before expecting the iOS 10 JB tool's release.
