Some users who were able to update to iOS 9, complained of lag and slow performance.Īll of the above issues were patched in the iOS 9.0.1 update, which was released to the public last week. There were plenty of problems with the new firmware and it even left several users with a bricked iOS device and unable to update. The iOS 9 public release didn’t go as smooth as Apple expected. The iOS 9.0.2 update is currently being seeded to users.

Putting all of this together, and looking back at the last major firmware jailbreak (the iOS 9 – 9.0.2 tool), considering Pangu was able to release a very stable jailbreak tool for iOS 9 in spite of its Rootless security (remember iOS 10 has no such equivalent) less than a month after the firmware’s initial release, we can likely expect an iOS 10 jailbreak by the end of October.Apple has released another minor update that includes several bug fixes, similar to last weeks iOS 9.0.1 update. Therefore it must be eons before a new jailbreak utility is released that’s capable of achieving root access on such an advanced firmware, right? Not exactly! Thankfully, iOS 10 doesn’t feature the equivalent security improvements as last year’s “Rootless” security measures implemented by Apple.įurthermore iOS 10’s kernel is unencrypted, which means security researchers may be able to more easily discover exploitable vulnerabilities within iOS 10’s kernel that could lead to new jailbreaks.įinally Pangu already demonstrated an iOS 10 jailbreak at MOSEC 2016, and although it was only the first beta installment of the firmware and the same exploits surely haven’t carried over to the public release of 10.0.1, it proves that it’s certainly doable and reaffirms Pangu’s intent on being the gods of the jailbreak realm.
