iOS 10.2 Jailbreak Latest News & Update: iPhone 7, 7 Plus Owners Getting Own Tool Soon

Lucas Todesco’s celebrated Yalu iOS 10.2 jailbreak has made some Apple Jailbreaking fans happy except perhaps for the ones who own an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. However, all that stands to change with word that a new version will be out soon.

If so, this should be good news for folks yearning for a Yalu iOS 10.2 jailbreak for the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. But as before, there is a catch and this is that the tool will be semi-untethered, Telegiz reported. For those who are unaware of what this means, each time an iPhone is rebooted, owners will have to repeat the jailbreaking process for it to be in effect.

Another thing worth pointing out is that folks who have already upgraded to iOS 10.2.1 can no longer use the Yalu iOS 10.2 jailbreak tool. Todesco reiterated this before so folks who failed to heed his warning may have to wait for an iOS 10.2.1 jailbreak – assuming that one does come out soon. If not Todesco, Pangu is still a group that folks are following.

The Chinese hacking group recently announced that they do have something in the works so it would be best to see if they finally have one to offer. Pangu’s last working jailbreak was for iOS 9.3.3 and they haven’t really shown any breakthrough with iOS 10. Most folks right now are wondering what iOS 10.2.1 brings. The update is expected to bring the usual bug fixes and patches, but Forbes claims that it also brings new problems.

Among the problems listed include the Touch ID, screen brightness bugs, and Bluetooth connection problems. Hence, Apple could be busy working out a fix, hinting of a potential iOS 10.2.2. Another thing worth noting is that once a device is upgraded to iOS 10.2.1, they can no longer revert to iOS 10.2. The Cupertino company has stopped signing meaning those who upgraded can do nothing but wait for a fix.
