New reports suggest popular hacker group Pangu will roll out Apple iOS 10 jailbreak tool soon. It is reported that the Pangu team had begun working on the Apple iOS 10 jailbreak tool even before the official release of Apple's highly anticipated iOS 10 operating system (OS).

 In fact, back in July, the jailbreak team showcased a working iOS 10 jailbreak at the MOSEC (Mobile Security Conference) 2016 event held in China. The team demonstrated the jailbreak running on iOS 10 beta 1. They presented a number of photos that portrayed Cydia running on the latest iOS version.

It is expected that as the team has already demonstrated iOS 10 jailbreak, they might just concentrate on it and not go back to iOS 9. This means that iOS 9.3.4 or iOS 9.3.5 jailbreak tool might not be made available with the iOS 9.3.3 being the last iOS 9 jailbreak tool.

According to the BitBag, Pangu's last released cumulative jailbreak tool, which covers iOS 9.2 to iOS 9.3.3, has turned out to be of no use as the tech giant has already rolled out the iOS 9.3.5 update which fixes the bug that motivated the jailbreak team to develop the software. As the iOS 9.3.5 update is bundled with three "zero-day exploits" fixes, it is advisable to download and install the firmware without any delay.

As far as Apple iOS 10 jailbreak tool release date is concerned, it is rumored that the jailbreak tool could be released as early as October, reported University Herald. It is to be noted that Apple has already sent invites for its 2016 Special Event which is going to take place on 7 September. It is expected that the Cupertino will take the stage to unveil its highly anticipated devices including the iPhone 7, Apple Watch 2, MacBook Pro and release the final version of iOS 10.
