Apple has just made iOS 11 official, which for many iPhone and iPad users could mean one thing - a jailbreak for the previous version, iOS 10, will be out anytime soon. But when exactly the next jailbreak release is happening?

Just to clarify, there are jailbreak solutions on iOS 10 already out there. Luca Todesco's Yalu JB tools are fairly usable but far from perfect. Yalu1011 was bumped up recently with extra_recipe+yalux to better run on the iPhone 7 series while Yalu102 works with a number of 64-bit devices. Last heard, the latter remains in beta 7 but according to Todesco he might be able to finalize the jailbreak to add features and expand its coverage.

Jailbreak fans, however, are looking for a better solution - hopefully an untethered jailbreak that will run on all 64-bit iPhones and iPads. The likelihood of getting such a jailbreak tool increased when Team Pangu demoed last April a jailbroken iPhone 7 on iOS 10.3. Reports said the Chinese hacking group hinted of an early May 2017 release for the jailbreak but nothing came out of it.

Then in the past weeks security researcher Adam Donenfeld made a claim he detected a number of exploits that could pave a way for a fully working iOS 10.3.1 jailbreak. The KPP exploit will be made public come August and hopes are high that Todesco and Pangu (perhaps even TaiG) will check out the jailbreak opening and come up with the corresponding solution.

So the best bet for an iOS 10.x jailbreak release would be the days or weeks following the KPP exploit revelation promised by Donenfeld, that is if somebody would actually make a jailbreak out of the bug. When that happens it could mean that the jailbreak will be made available between August and September or weeks before the official rollout of iOS 11.

But the possibility is there too that since iOS 11 beta 1 is already out, independent developers will instead work on the software and find ways to crack it open. That could mean in lieu of an iOS 10.3 jailbreak devs would rather work on a more exciting iOS 11 jailbreak.

And that's like saying there is no solid assurance of an iOS 10.x jailbreak release now that poking inside of iOS 11 seems more inviting.
