iOS 10.3 Jailbreak Release Date, Latest News & Update: Apple Jailbreaking Community Waiting In Vain for Crack

Mar 15, 2017 03:20 AM EDT

Apple continues to thwart any threat of a potential iOS 10 jailbreak and it seems that it is going to stay that way. iOS 10.3 beta is currently out and most hackers, including Lucas Todesco, have agreed that seeing a future crack is near impossible.

As far as an iOS 10.3 jailbreak is concerned, the wait is technically in vain. A lot of that has to do with the new Apple File System (APFS) which is seen to make life difficult harder for hackers trying to exploit iOS. Todesco admits that things are tougher once the Cupertino company decides to release the final version of iOS 10.3, the same likely holding true for other groups like Pangu.

Uncommon for Hackers to give up

Hearing Todesco claim such comes as a surprise. To think he was the brains behind the semi-untethered Yalu iOS 10.2, giving up on the iOS 10.3 this early is uncanny. But then again, no hacker has been able to come up with a working jailbreak, the last of which was seen for iOS 9.3.3. Despite the buggy nature of the iOS 10, it is a mystery why no one has been able to exploit it even with the security leaving a lot to be desired.

If Todesco and company are indeed giving up on an iOS 10.3 jailbreak, this means iPhone and iPad owners will have to start using their devices fairly. There will be no more freebies meaning if they want to use certain apps, they have to pay up.

What does iOS 10.3 have to offer?

For iOS 10.3, it does come with impressive features. Aside from the APFS system, it also comes with improvements to Siri, the Safari Browser, and even CarPlay according to 9 to 5 Mac.

There is no update on what vulnerabilities iOS 10.3 will cover, something that hardly comes as a surprise. Revealing so will give hackers the tip they need to come up with an iOS 10.3 jailbreak. Hence, if there are any jailbreaking intentions, hackers need to buckle down to work and find out for themselves.
