Many have been anticipating the iOS 10.2 jailbreak for a long time now, but the only jailbreak tool currently available is the Yalu iOS 10 jailbreak by Luca Todesco.
The Yalu iOS 10 can free 64-bit devices which run iOS 10.0 to 10.1.1, but it is still in the beta testing stage. It currently works with the iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPad Pro, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Plus. The iPhone SE with TMSC processors can now be modified. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s could soon follow suit.
Apple has released the seventh version of the iOS 10.2. Jailbreaker Luca Todesco recently warned jailbreakers to avoid Apple's newest update. He asked users to still use the iOS 10.1.1 because the firmware update will fix many bugs and may make the iOS 10 impossible to jailbreak. He advised users to make their devices safe and secure even if it seems like a good idea to update.
According to Todesco, users who want to jailbreak their devices also have to save the SHSH2 blobs for iOS 10.2. This will allow the user to downgrade and upgrade the firmware via Prometheus. Tedesco said that Apple's operating system is vulnerable to hacking and he is working on the iOS 10.2 jailbreak to crack through the walled system.
"My fix for the issues in the 10.1 jailbreak will be to add support to 10.2. It will however not work on iPhone 7 on 10.2, just 10 and 10.1," he said.
Apple claims that the iOS 10 is totally unbreakable and the company appears to be strengthening its operating system with each update. It has been remarkably methodical and strategic in dealing with iOS bugs. Apple is offering a huge reward for anyone who can find bugs in the iOS. Its bug bounty program offers up to $100,000 USD.
Meanwhile, Chinese hacking group Pangu has hinted that an iOS 10 jailbreak tool would be released soon. However, no specific date was provided for its release.
