iOS 10.2 has just been rolled out, leaving the jailbreak community wondering if a tool for the most recent iOS will already be released as promised. However, it seems like none of the jailbreak teams have yet to release a tool, indicating that they are having a difficult time breaking iOS 10.

Apple seems to be winning the fight against security threats as there is no jailbreak tool for iOS 10. Pangu, one of the most popular jailbreak teams, has already confirmed that they already have the tool for the recent OS, but they have not released it to the public. The most recent jailbreak tool is for iOS 9.3, which can already be considered obsolete.

It could be recalled the Pangu was reportedly planning to release their most recent jailbreak tool when Apple launches the iOS 10.2 update. However, the update has already been rolled out and no jailbreak tool has been announced.

This indicates that iOS 10 may be impossible to penetrate. This is evidenced by the recent tweet of well-known hacker, Luca Tedesco, who said that iOS 10.2 will not be jailbroken. He posted, "Rip jelbrek ...," and further said that the operating system "went on a bug killing spree."

This has led to another rumor that Pangu has given up developing a jailbreak tool for the recent iOS. This is not because of choice, but they are finding it difficult to get into the system. However, some members of the jailbreak community still believe that Pangu will eventually find a way to create a tool against iOS 10.

Jailbreak tools are quite popular among iOS users as it allows them to install an app that is not approved by Apple.

As of this time, no word from Pangu or from any other jailbreak teams has been out. Does this mean that Apple has won its fight against jailbreak?
