Having just rolled out the first beta for iOS 10.2, Apple is wasting no time to update the iOS 10, leaving jailbreak development teams like Pangu little to no chance to catch up.

There remains no sign of a rollout for the iOS 10 jailbreak by Pangu, which gives fans the impression that the software might not be able to get here.

The jailbreak team is also yet to provide an update on the project, and the only time they spoke about the iOS 10 jailbreak was when they first announced it back in July at the Mobile Security Conference.

It was previously rumored that Pangu will release the iOS 10 jailbreak after the iOS 10.1 rolls out. It has been days since the updated firmware rolled out, but there is still no sign of an imminent launch.

This has many worried at the iOS 10 jailbreak may not see the light of day at all. Apple's quick pace in updating its software on top of added security on each update may it be minor or major definitely slowed down the jailbreaking community.

This year, the Cupertino-based company decided to seek the help of its users in finding the vulnerabilities of its software releases in the hopes of patching them up instead of being exploited.

This goes to show that Apple is serious in ending jailbreaking the way users know it. Its improved disposition may be the reason Pangu could be having trouble with delivering on a working iOS 10 jailbreak.

It won't be long before Apple releases the iOS 10.2. The first of the four beta versions has just been available to users signed up on the Apple Beta Software Program.

Apple will likely stop signing 10.1 soon, which is why Pangu will have to keep up. For now, users will just have to wait on word from the jailbreak developers with regards to the status of the iOS 10 jailbreak.
