It is also possible that the iOS 10 jailbreak will be released a month following the expected official iOS 10 rollout.
If you own an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, then the developer and beta updates have been made available for you.

This critical bug affected all earlier versions of iOS 9 and Apple has fixed the patch in latest iOS 9.3.5. Apple has confirmed that the vulnerability has been fixed in latest iOS 10 beta.
But Apple came out to say later that the release of iOS 9.3.5 was not really directed to the hacking exploits of Pangu and other jailbreaking teams. But the sudden release of another beta update could easily be due to the inclusion of the security patch, recently introduced in iOS 9.
Human rights advocate Ahmed Mansoor was the first to discover the suspicious malware and sent the link to Citizen Lab and Lookout, two prominent security firms. The exploit was discovered on August 11 when Ahmed Mansoor, human rights defender, received a suspicious link and sent it to Citizen Lab and Lookout.

To note, however, Apple has not yet released the full and final version of the iOS 10. At the same time the company has also released the latest beta update of tvOS for Apple Tv users. Nevertheless, the rumors are rife that Pangu will release their iOS 10 jailbreak tool by October.
