iOS hacker iH8sn0w has been able to jailbreak iOS 10 as he demonstrated on video where he jailbroke iPhone 5 running iOS 10 earlier today, offering hope that the latest Apple’s mobile operating system which was launched some days ago can possibly be jailbroken.
In the video, iH8sn0w proved that the device is running on iOS 10 by deleting the Mail app, and showing off the Maps application. For good measure, and to prove his jailbreak is of the untether type, the hacker also reboots the device. Cydia is also showed on screen.
No information about this iOS 10 jailbreak has been shared, but given that it is running on a 32-bit device, we will assume it is based on the same iBoot exploit the hacker has already demonstrated a couple years ago. If that is indeed the case, the potential for an iOS 10 jailbreak for newer devices such as the iPhone 6s would be almost inexistent, though those findings might still be useful.
Once again, nothing groundbreaking to look at here, but still interesting to look at nonetheless.
