For the past several weeks, the iOS users have been waiting patiently for a working 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 regarding the release of an iOS 10 crack. For one, Pangu, the Chinese hacker group behind the previous iOS 9.3 jailbreak tools, is expected by many to release the iOS 10 jailbreak soon. As of now, it is getting more likely that the iOS 10 crack will arrive in the coming 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. This right timing is said to be the release of the iOS 10's first major update. As expected, Apple recently rolled out the iOS 10.1 update, and if the rumors are anything to go by, Pangu may have already been reading through the latest patch updates included in the iOS 10.1 before the first ever iOS 10 jailbreak is released. 

The recent minor updates for the iOS 10 may have also given the hackers a hard time in jailbreaking the latest Apple OS version. Even though the previous iOS 10.0.1, 10.0.2, and 10.0.3 were aimed to fix minor bugs, there could also be crucial changes in the codes that will immediately invalidate an outdated iOS 10 jailbreak software. To avoid releasing a working iOS 10 crack every now and then, Pangu is said to be waiting for a major update before the first iOS 10 jailbreak is made available.

Meanwhile, a new iOS 10.1.1 was released just recently, which may or may not affect the current status of the ongoing iOS 10 jailbreak development. The said update is intended to fix a few things on the Apple Health app. For those who rely on the Health app, it is a must to get this update to get rid of the bugs that are messing with its function. However, Pangu should also be wary of the possible changes in the system for their jailbreak exploits.
