According to reports, Pangu can no longer release the iOS 10 Jailbreak as Apple will be releasing a new version update very soon. In addition, Apple is said to be doing everything they can to make it difficult for anyone to jailbreak their software. And it looks like it is working as it has already been 3 months and Pangu has yet to release an iOS 10 jailbreak.

It can be remembered that it only took days for Pangu to release an updated version of iOS jailbreak whenever Apple releases a new one. But now that Apple is updating their software version regularly, it seems Pangu is having a hard time keeping up. Although Pangu claims it has already jailbreak the latest version of iOS, the fact that it isn't available yet could only mean it is not yet fully ready.

One of the known jailbreakers in the internet today is Luca Todesco. He was one of the first to jailbreak iOS 10 and posted images on Twitter to prove his claim. However, rather than making it available on the internet, he chose to submit it to Apple's Bug Bounty Program. This program offers $100,000 for anyone who can find a glitch or a bug in the current iOS software and it certainly is a better choice than risk being sued for legal issues in the future.

There are also speculations that Pangu opted for the same option rather than releasing the latest jailbreak version for iOS 10. Technically, they are not getting anything in return for releasing the jailbreak while Apple will even offer rewards and a big amount of money. If this is true, Apple may have been successful in stopping people from creating jailbreaks for their software and even use them to find undiscovered bugs in their current version.
