iOS 10 jailbreak update news: Cracking iOS 10 may be easier than iOS 9.3.2; JB tool coming up soon?

It has been a huge challenge for mobile phone hackers to crack the security measures of the new iOS 9.3.3 update, and it took the well-known jailbreakers months to devise a working jailbreak tool for iOS 9.3 but to no avail. However, minding about the iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak may not be necessary anymore as Apple has recently announced the arrival of iOS 10. In fact, according to the latest reports, the hackers have already succeeded in cracking the iOS 10, suggesting that making an iOS 9.3 jailbreak is even harder than jailbreaking the brand new operating system.

To note, Apple has not yet released the beta version of iOS 10 yet. The hackers were able to develop a jailbreak tool for iOS 10 within a few days after the official announcement of the latest mobile OS in the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2016 last week. Apple has presented the new features of iOS 10 that will make it stand out from the previous iOS 9.3. This made some people wonder if the new security system of iOS 10 will be as hard or even more complicated to break than iOS 9.3. It turned out that the iOS 10 may actually be easy to hack, and maybe even easier to jailbreak than iOS 9.3

The Next Web reported about a video footage that shows a user's iPhone running the jailbroken version of iOS 10 beta. The video was posted by a hacker with the username "iH8sn0w," but even if the video of iOS 10 that he customized is true, the Apple followers must still not get hopes up just yet. It is possible that Apple will be equipping the public beta version of the iOS 10 with stauncher security measures.

Many hackers have tried to unlock the iOS 9.3.3 version but they have all failed to develop the correct jailbreak tool. Pangu, a well-known group of hackers, was the last to release a working jailbreaking software for iOS, although it is for the 9.0.2 version. The public has been clamoring for a working jailbreak tool for iOS 9.1, 9.2, and 9.3, but the jailbreakers have kept mum about the release of applicable jailbreak tools for each OS.

Apple is expected to launch the iOS 10 public beta next month. After its release, the hackers may finally release the jailbreak tool several days or weeks after the full release of the new iOS by Fall.
