Team Pangu has hinted of an iOS 10.3-10.3.1 jailbreak release at the start of May but the solution remains out of sight and the month is nearly over. What's keeping the Chinese hacking group from making public a jailbreak tool that was demoed fully functioning just weeks ago?

When the iPhone 7 running on jailbroken iOS 10.3 was shown at the close of April in Shanghai, hopes went high that a better iOS 10 jailbreak was on the way. Reports said Pangu was looking to release the demoed jailbreak the week after or following the rollout of iOS 10.3.2. It was thought then that the hacking group wanted to make sure the higher firmware did not patch the exploits they were working on.

As expected, iOS 10.3.2 was released but days went by and the Pangu jailbreak was a no show. It appears now that this will be a repeat of what happened back in July 2016. Pangu demoed a jailbroken iOS 10, unreleased at that time, but no jailbreak was released.

The group's self-imposed deadline was not met the first time and the second time so it's fair to assume nothing will come out on the latest speculations, WCCFTech suggested in a report. "Given that we are way past the ETA that was initially reported on, things look slightly bleak right now," the report said, adding unless Team Pangu provides some credible update then the rumored jailbreak release can be classified as a no-go.

But Redmond Pie is proposing: "Maybe Pangu is now waiting for Apple to make iOS 10.3.3 public for jailbreak to drop." Again, the hacking group seems to operate on the premise that holding out for the official firmware release of 10.3.3 will allow them to check first if the exploits for their upcoming jailbreak remains open.

If that is the case then it's highly likely that Team Pangu might as well wait out for Apple to finalize the iOS 10.3.x release before acting on the jailbreak they were supposedly cooking up. Or possibly, the hacking group will want to check first the reported KPP exploit that will be released this coming August, perhaps to make the group's iOS 10.3 jailbreak a better solution.

So it will be long wait for the rumored Pangu iOS 10.3/10.3.1 jailbreak release but while waiting jailbreak fans can make do with beta 4 of the extra_recipe+yaluX that is a more stable form of the Yalu1011 jailbreak and works like charm on the iPhone 7 series.
