It appears that Apple is making sure that it is one step ahead of jailbreak development team Pangu, who has been working on the iOS 10 jailbreak for months.

A few days ago, Apple released the iOS 10.0.1, which renders useless previous jailbreak installments. Now, the Cupertino-based company has come out with the iOS 10.0.2, which does the same thing.

According to Forbes, Apple is noticeably ramping up its fight against jailbreaking, presenting a worrying challenge to Pangu, which is yet to give an update on the iOS 10 jailbreak.

The publication believes that it will be increasingly difficult to stitch together a jailbreak tool with Apple getting more serious about ending the practice.

Jailbreak fans are starting to worry about the fate of the iOS 10 jailbreak. Apple appears to be making sure that every mobile operating system update they release will make sure to nullify any jailbreak installs.

This presents a serious issue for Pangu, which will have to keep up with Apple's updates and the changes contained in each of them to make sure their jailbreak software works.

Apple's speedy pacing definitely makes it harder for jailbreak developers like Pangu to catch up. What's more worrying for users is that the Chinese hacking team has been mum ever since the release of the iOS 10 jailbreak.

In fact, Pangu has not given any updates on the development since they introduced their iOS 10 jailbreak at the Mobile Security Conference (MOSEC) last July.

As Pangu stays mum, Italian developer Luca Todesco has been on a roll having jailbroken the iOS 10 for a couple of times now. He has also come up with an iPhone 7 jailbreak.

Todesco has no plans on releasing his jailbreak tools, which he usually puts together just days after an update releases.

This could be a confidence boost for many who have been waiting for Pangu to release the iOS 10 jailbreak as Todesco proves that even though Apple is becoming sterner towards jailbreaking, it is still possible to do so.
