iOS 10 jailbreak release date news: claims of jailbreak dismissed; Apple's security features effective against efforts

It may be unprecedented, but it seems that Apple might have pulled off an update that has finally stumped programmers who work on developing a jailbreak for the Apple iOS.

It has been one month since the Cupertino-based company released its iOS 10 but so far, there have been no jailbreaks released yet by jailbreaking teams, reported Christian Daily.

Prior to the update, Apple has sworn to beef up their security features and protocols to protect their software from any hacking attempts.

Still, there are those who have claimed that they have developed an effective jailbreak for iOS 10.0.1 and iOS 10.0.2.

According to Neurogadget, the Unlock-Jailbreak team announced that they have successfully cracked the iOS 10 but so far, this has been disproved by some sources.

Tests were run on the so called jailbreaks but it proved to be ineffective against Apple's beefed up security features. Apple also notably took a proactive stance in coming up with constant patches to address any vulnerability to attacks.

This does not mean that Apple users have given up hope, as some of them look to jailbreaking experts like Pangu to come up with a way to make the system more flexible and do away with the restrictions imposed by Apple under their legitimate iOS, University Herald reported.

Many Apple users have even kept from updating to iOS 10 because of the lack of jailbreaks. It was reported that Apple came out with iOS 10.0.2 to address issues related to the counterproductive headphone and crashing Photos when iCloud Photo Library is active.

The lack of jailbreaks can be viewed both as a good thing and a piece of bad news for Apple users. On one hand, it's an advantage because they are running on a safe system but on the downside, they are limited to the restrictions that Apple has set on their devices and their software.
