So it’s highly possible that members of prominent jailbreak teams – such as those belonging to TaiG or Pangu – have been sitting quietly on information or exploits that are usable where iOS 10.2.1-10.3.x is concerned – but haven’t shared anything about them in public yet. We have seen surprise releases in the past that came out of nowhere.

Having said that, it is important to remember that where the jailbreak community is concerned, you literally never know what’s around the corner. With iOS 10.2.1 and 10.3.x having no single proof yet of a jailbreak, even in private, let alone public exploits being available for it, and with Todesco saying he won’t be working on public jailbreaks anymore, there is currently no iOS 10.2.1-10.3.x jailbreak on the horizon. There’s then also the fact that Todesco himself has already said that he will stop working on all public iOS research work after 10.2 jailbreak. Luca Todesco has proven himself to be one skillful hacker with the necessary skills and abilities, but releasing a jailbreak for iOS 10.1.1-10.2 and iOS 10.2.1-10.3.x will be an entirely different challenge, especially given that iOS 10.3.x introduces Apple’s new File System APFS. So where does that leave iOS 10.2.1 and 10.3.x users now?

But since yalu102 unfortunately doesn’t work on iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, those with Apple’s latest devices are only left with an option to jailbreak on iOS 10.1.1, and that too only if they downgraded to the said firmware in time when Apple was still signing the firmware as iOS 10.1.1 is no longer being signed now. Since as of this writing iOS 10.2 is still being signed, those who have upgraded to 10.2.1 can downgrade back to 10.2 to enjoy the jailbreak benefits yalu102 brings. The subsequent yalu102 jailbreak for iOS 10.2 uses a different technique but as mentioned earlier only works on non-iPhone 7 64-bit devices and it has been patched by Apple in iOS 10.2.1. Once again, this activity pattern has proven to be true, culminating in the release of Luca Todesco’s Mach_Portal+Yalu iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak for select 64-bit Apple devices, and the subsequent yalu102 jailbreak for iOS 10.2 for non-iPhone 7 64-bit devices. The Mach_Portal+Yalu was the first ever public jailbreak released for iOS 10 and is based on Google’s Project Zero exploits published by Ian Beer which was patched by Apple in iOS 10.2. There’s inevitably a period of time where nothing happens, and the wheels turn slow, which is generally followed by a period of rapid progression where key members of the community tend to work closely together to announce and release exploits and tools. Over time, we’ve come to understand that movement in the jailbreak community tends to come in fits and starts. When these batteries were manufactured, they were exposed to too much ambient air which is believed to be the cause of the problem.Can one jailbreak iOS 10.3.3, 10.3.2, 10.3.1, 10.3 or iOS 10.2.1? If not, what is the latest state of an iOS 10.3.3 / 10.3.2 / 10.3.1 / 10.3 / 10.2.1 jailbreak for iPhone and iPad?

Apple is replacing the battery on these specific units for free since they have a habit of shutting down even with 30% of life remaining on them. This issue apparently has nothing to do with the battery problem found on some other Apple iPhone 6s units.

Previously, an affected phone would have to be connected to a power adapter in order to reboot. These sizeable reductions have taken place after iOS 10.2.1 has been installed on over 50% of the units that received the update.īesides including a power management patch, iOS 10.2.1 also includes a new feature that allows those whose iPhone shutdowns suddenly due to an older battery, to instantly reboot by simply pressing the power button.

#APPLE IOS 10.2.1 UPDATE#
The update has lowered the number of shutdowns on iPhone 6 models by 70%. The update didn't completely exterminate the bugs, but Apple claims that with the release it has seen a decline in the number of iPhone 6s shutdowns by 80%.
