Apple has been cruising along the past months, hardly getting any challenge from the hacker groups like Pangu or TaiG. Despite issues tied up to iOS 10, no actual iOS 10 Jailbreak has come out to date.
The last working crack was iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak which now seems like ages ago. Some little-known individual hackers have shown off iOS 10 cracks, including Lucas Todesco, but nothing has been made public. With that in mind, these are considering nothing more than hoaxes and leaving Apple trouble-free.
As mentioned in a previous post, Apple’s Bug Bounty Program has been singled out as a possible reason, the Cupertino company of which has intercepted iOS jailbreaks with a generous $200,000 reward. Seeing the hackers could use the money than gaining popularity once making an iOS jailbreak public, the assumption could make sense.
Just the same, there could be a select few who would prefer to expose Apple and its shortcomings. Some prefer to show off their skills even if it seems to be in the odd kind of way.
The videos are nothing though some Apple device owners could be waiting for a possible iOS 10 jailbreaking tool for release to the public. It may be a long shot though most are left with nothing else to wait on.
A couple of videos showing off an iOS 10.1 jailbreak was posted online though Cydia creator Saurik has already come out to say that these are not authentic, Neurogadget reported. That dish alone is enough to justify that these videos are nothing more than a con job.
But the thing here is that a lot of iOS 10 jailbreak videos from virtual unknowns have been posted online and one could actually work. The tipping point is who among them can actually make the crack public, something that Pangu has been known to do.
If not, it brings iOS 10 jailbreak hopefuls back to square one. Pangu and/or TaiG still loom as the credible sources for an Apple crack though it has been a long time since one actually came out.
