Jailbreaking iPhones is like a game of cat and mouse. Todesco also posted a video demonstrating the iOS 10 jailbreak on the iPhone 7. Harder? Yes. Considerably? Apparently not, as a certain 19 year old hacker by the name of Luca Todesco claims he was able to jailbreak the iPhone 7 in just 24 hours.

Unfortunately, neither team has announced anything of significance when it comes to the possible release of a new jailbreak.
As soon as Apple Inc. announced the availability of iOS 10, a number of jailbreakers are curious if the latest update of the tech company is jailbreak friendly.
The image (below) shows an “iPhone 9,3” (the matte black iPhone 7) running iOS 10.0.1 with Cydia 1.1.26 installed. In 2007, George Hotz (Geohot), an American hacker jailbroke the original iPhone.
Once again, people will have no other choice than to wait for either Pangu or TaiG to step up and release the eagerly anticipated jailbreak, though that could take a while, given how things are going now. Pangu had that one last tool to release but the understanding was that the Cupertino company had foiled the Chinese group’s exploits yet again.
Since the fruity cargo cult established a bug bounty, he might make a bit of cash, but he told Motherboard he hasn’t decided whether to do that yet. He did, however, express interest in a more automated kind of jailbreaking that only required clicking on a link in Safari. It was reported earlier that pangu is facing some problems with releasing a jailbreak as Apple is taking extra measures to ensure the security.

Remember, while we find jailbreaking fascinating, we don’t recommend it for a number of reasons – at best, it’s going to void your phone’s warranty, and at worst, you’ll “brick” your device.
