iOS 10.3 to Arrive in a Few Weeks; Jailbreak Tool Highly Unlikely

With the hacker culture rambling in this time and age, Apple has become more cautious in its fight against hackers who are trying to exploit its operating system. Within weeks, the tech giant is expected to officially release iOS 10.3 and launch iOS 10.3 beta 7 for developer testing on Apple devices.

Despite Apple's efforts in securing its operating system, tech enthusiasts are still hoping for an iOS 10.3 jailbreak tool. So far, no jailbreak maker has been successful in hacking the updated mobile operating system of Apple. Recently, Apple released its latest iOS, which comes with a new file system, APFS, making it hard for hackers to exploit Apple's system.

According to reports, Apple's iOS 10.3 comes with impressive features on top of the new file system. The new operating system will reportedly bring notable improvements to Siri, CarPlay and the Safari browser, although Apple has yet to officially announce which particular vulnerabilities this update will cover. There are speculations that Apple has not yet announced its vulnerabilities because that will give hackers ideas on how to come up with an iOS 10.3 jailbreak.

Apple's new APFS is so strong that even the famous Italian iOS hacker Luca Todesco has given up on developing a jailbreak tool and has decided to move to the Nintendo Switch. Rumor has it that although Todesco has already stopped developing a jailbreak tool for iOS, the Chinese programming team Pangu is still developing a jailbreak tool following the release of an unofficial iOS 10.3 tool.

This unofficial iOS 10.3 jailbreak tool is said to work through the use of the Online Cydia Installer. Since the tool is unofficial, users should be cautious when doing the jailbreaking process, especially since there are no detailed reviews about it yet.
