The iOS 10 jailbreak by the Chinese jailbreak development team Pangu is expected to be released anytime soon, now that Apple is in the final phase of development for the iOS 10.1, the first big update for its new software.

According to reports, Pangu is just waiting for the company to release the new version so that it can release their software. All this time during the team's silence, it is believed that Pangu has been working on the software all along.

Pangu was reportedly just waiting for Apple to be finished with everything they have to do on the iOS 10's first minor updates in order to be able to patch each one of them.

This means that Pangu will get the chance to go around whatever the security precautions Apple used on the updates, thus producing a more updated and working iOS 10 jailbreak.

As the wait goes on, Apple made big changes in terms of software updates as it no longer signs the iOS 9.3.5, which means those who updated to the iOS 10 could no longer downgrade to the iOS 9.

The Cupertino-based company has also stopped signing the iOS 10.0.1, the very first minor update released for the iOS 10, which means that users can no longer access that version either.

WCCFTech advises that users who are on iOS 9.3.3 not to update as this software version could be jailbroken using the software set to be released by Pangu.

Undoubtedly, developing the iOS 10 jailbreak still got tricky for Pangu as Apple continues to equip every single release with a tweak that disables every jailbreak software installed on a device.

This is expected to be the same with the iOS 10.1. However, with Pangu's focus on the iOS 10, it is likely that the group will focus on taking care of every disabling tweak Apple integrated on the iOS 10 updates.
