Latest iOS 10.2 Jailbreak News & Updates: It May Arrive Sooner Than Expected, Already In Works?
Hemal VoraUsers who missed Luca Todesco's iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak can be happy about the news that the iOS 10.2 jailbreak tool will be released soon. It took months of speculations and wait for users to receive a working version of iOS 10 jailbreak tool finally. The tool was released by Luca Todesco for iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak. However, it was not quite easy for users to give full faith on the iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak after the previous iOS 9.3.3 jailbreak version by Pangu in the last summer.
iOS 10.1.1 Jailbreak Update
Also, the iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak was partially untethered. Hence it required re-jail breaking every time the device gets restarted. Also, iOS jailbreak news reports suggested that the iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak was little unstable at the time of its release as it was a beta version. While many users waited for the full version of the tool to get ready, Apple made its move against jailbreaking by stopping the iOS 10.1.1 version. So many users missed this window, while a few stayed with the already existing iOS 9.3.3 Pangu jailbreak, as reported by Forbes.
Esser Tweets on iOS 10.2 jailbreak
However, it is a great fortune that someone is working on an iOS 10.2 jailbreak tool. The iOS 10.2 jailbreak updates will be able to offer a lifeline to users who missed the Todesco upgrade. Stefan Esser, a popular tipster on jailbreaking, has recently posted on Twitter that the iOS 10.2 jailbreak tool will be out soon, as reported by Neurogadget.
If this is not just a random speculation users can expect a jailbreaking tool anytime sooner. In his tweet, Esser has stated that users need not worry about the issues that jailbreakers have been facing with Luca Todesco's tool, as the iOS 10.2 tool would be released soon.
Apple stops iOS 10.1.1
Apple has stopped signing the previous version of iOS 10.1.1 and hence the jailbreak for it is no longer compatible. Hence, users can neither upgrade nor downgrade to iOS 10.1.1 version. Thus, if the iOS 10.2 jailbreak tool gets released it will be the first time an iOS jailbreak tool is released by different teams one after another.
iOS 10.2 May Come Out Anytime!
However, some iOS 10.2 jailbreak news also suggest that Esser may just be trolling the iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak as it is not compatible with iPhone 6S and 6S Plus devices. Though iOS 10 has been broken by the jailbreakers, it is yet to attract a larger fan crowd. Thus, though users can keep eyes on Twitter and Reddit about the iOS 10.2 jailbreak, they should also beware of fake jailbreak sites and tools.
