Apple fans are waiting for one thing, and it's the release of the most-awaited iOS 10. The Cupertino-based company has already released iOS 10 beta 7 as the official launch date approaches. But aside from the new operating system, fans are also keeping tabs as well on updates regarding the iOS 10 jailbreak which was thought to be difficult to achieve.

According to reports, Apple will release the iOS 10 sometime in September. There is no specific release date yet, but users are looking forward to next month already, especially since reports suggested that the Chinese programming team in the iOS community, Pangu Team, has successfully completed the iOS 10 jailbreak tool.

Word has it that the team will release the jailbreak tool soon after the public launch of the iOS 10. After successfully demonstrating the jailbreak process during the Mobile Security Conference (MOSEC) held in Shanghai, China on July 1, many are convinced that the tool will be arriving fast. It seems like they are just waiting for the Apple operating system to surface, which only makes sense since the iOS 10 jailbreak tool will be useless without the iOS 10.

However, the same reports also say that it may not come out immediately as expected. There is no clear word on its possible delayed release so fans will have to stay tuned to get updates. Reports say, though, that Pangu Team is currently focusing on the iOS 10 jailbreak as it is expected that most users will be updating to iOS 10 once it is released.

It is also said that Pangu's previous jailbreak for iOS 9.3.2 and 9.3.3 are unfortunately useless as Apple released the iOS 9.3.4 update which the company purposefully made to fix the crack that led Pangu to create its jailbreak tool. The update did not have that many changes or new highlights, but it did block the jailbreak tool from being usable.

For those who are waiting for the iOS 10 jailbreak, watch out for updates as they are expected to be released soon.
