The team "Pangu" remains discreet about the jailbreak tool that fans have been waiting to see since they introduced it at the "Mobile Security Conference (MOSEC)" back in July 2016. The wait for the iOS 10 jailbreak by Chinese jailbreak development team Pangu continues as Apple rolls out its latest software update, the iOS 10.1.1.

Apple released the final version of the iOS 10 and the software updates were equipped with tweaks that eliminate the jailbreak tools installed on the iOS device being updated. Despite the quiet behavior of Pangu, another hacker named Luca Todesco was claimed to provide the next Jailbreak tool.

The Italian hacker and iOS jailbreak developer Luca Todesco, has kept his promise for releasing the first ever publicly available iOS 10.1/10.1.1 jailbreak called "Yalu + mach_portal" for iPhone and iPad devices. The jailbreak is based on the recently discovered "Google Project Zero" exploit, which is compatible with iPhone 7, 7 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus and iPad Pro.

The latest report on a possible iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak coming breathes new life for the Apple Jailbreaking Community. Many were under the impression that an iOS 10 jailbreak would be out soon from Luca Todesco following the final version release of iOS 10.2. The "Yalu + mach_portal" jailbreak for iOS 10.1/10.1.1 has a broken mobile substrate and hence the latest jailbreak tweaks are not yet supported. Furthermore, it is a semi-untethered jailbreak and lacks GUI support as it is a part of the Xcode project.

"There is a high chance I will take up whatever project 0 drops and write a full jailbreak on top of it," Todesco said. He also claimed that the chance is higher of getting the next Jailbreak from him, if one will stay on iOS 10.1.1 and this is especially true with owners of both the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Many are afraid that the said jailbreak will come out too late that only a few users will be able to benefit from it.
