Apple released iOS 10.3.3 a few days back which includes a number of bug fixes and security improvements. It would be a perfect time to release the jailbreak for iOS 10.2.1- iOS 10.3.3.

So in this post, we will take a look at the latest status of iOS jailbreak.

iOS 10 Jailbreak Status

The first jailbreak for iOS 10 known as Yalu (formerly Yalu + Mach Portal) was released on December 21, 2016, by well-known hacker Luca Todesco. The jailbreak is a semi-untethered jailbreak, which means that when the iOS device boots, it will no longer have a patched kernel.

Can I jailbreak iOS 10.3.3?

The exploits that were used in Yalu iOS 10.2 jailbreak have all been patched by Apple in iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 10.3, which means that if your device is running on any of these firmwares, then it cannot be jailbroken.

Downgrading to iOS 10.2.1 or iOS 10.3

Apple closed the signing window for iOS 10.2 a couple of weeks after it was released. This means that you can no longer downgrade to this firmware. Check available firmwares and flash in 3uTools.

Jailbreak iOS 10.3.3 Status Update

We got excited and carried away when the Pangu team demoed an iOS 10.3.1 jailbreak at the Janus conference at the Mercedes Benz Arena, on Expo Avenue in Shanghai in April. However, they haven’t announced any plans of releasing Pangu jailbreak tool for iOS 10.3.3 – iOS 10.2.1.

There hasn’t been any news or development on the jailbreaking front since April to indicate an iOS 10.3.3 jailbreak will be released soon.

Is Jailbreaking Dead?

This brings me to a much-debated question these days about whether jailbreaking is dead. Apple has tried to kill jailbreaking by first aggressively patching the security vulnerabilities, and by adding features that were the primary reason to jailbreak your iPhone.

The iPhone jailbreaking scene has been blessed with some of the best hackers of our generation with hacking teams such as Geohot, Comex, iPhone Dev team, Chronic Dev, evad3r, Pangu, TaiG, and Luca Todesco, but most of them are no longer active in the jailbreaking scene anymore. 

But when it comes to hacking or jailbreaking, you can never say never. There are hackers who do it for the money, and there are some who do it for the thrill of breaking into one of the most secure platforms in the world. It is also a great platform to show your skill as a hacker, and get visibility. So I wouldn’t say jailbreaking is dead. I won’t be surprised if an unknown hacker or a group of hackers will release a jailbreak for iOS 10.3.3 or iOS 11 in the future.
