Jailbreaking Your iPhone 7 and 7 Plus: A Guide to the Latest Developments
Getting a jailbreak on your iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is a popular topic, especially among those who want to customize their device. However, it's essential to note that there is currently no official jailbreak available for iOS 10.2 or later versions on these devices. While there are some workarounds and potential solutions in the works, we'll explore the latest developments and recommendations for those looking to jailbreak their iPhone.
If you're running iOS 10.1 or 10.1.1 on your iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, there is a yellow jailbreak available that can be used to gain access to Cydia. This jailbreak has been around for some time now and has become more stable over the past few weeks. However, it's essential to note that this jailbreak is only compatible with these specific iOS versions and devices. If you're running iOS 10.2 or later on your iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, your chances of getting a jailbreak are best to stay at iOS 10.1 or 10.1.1.
If you do decide to upgrade to iOS 10.2, there isn't any official jailbreak available for this version. In fact, Apple has made it more challenging to jailbreak devices running on higher versions of iOS due to the introduction of security measures and encryption technologies. The only recommendation for those who want to jailbreak their iPhone 7 or 7 Plus on iOS 10.2 or later is to try the third beta for 10.1 or 10.1.1, which offers a yellow jailbreak. However, this method has some issues with respring and rebooting, so it's essential to be aware of these potential problems.
For those running iOS 9.3.5 on their iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, there is no official jailbreak available yet. Although there was a jailbreak for iOS 9.3.4 in the past, this has since been discontinued due to Apple's efforts to strengthen security features. For those who want to jailbreak devices running on lower versions of iOS, such as iOS 10 or 9.3.5, it's unlikely that a jailbreak will be released anytime soon.
In contrast, there is a jailbreak available for all other 64-bit devices running on iOS 10.2, including those on iPhone 6s and later models. The yellow jailbreak has been tested by several users, including the speaker of this video, who reports that it's working fine on their device. However, it's essential to note that this jailbreak is not available for all devices and may have some compatibility issues.
Regarding iOS 10.2.1 and 10.3, there are currently no official jailbreaks available yet. However, the Pangu team has demonstrated a potential jailbreak for these versions of iOS in the past. If Apple officially releases iOS 10.3, which is expected soon, it's possible that the Pangu team will release a jailbreak for this version as well. However, there's no concrete information on when or if this will happen.
Lastly, we'd like to discuss the solution that was initially anticipated for the yellow jailbreak. In December last year, Luc Asilo, the developer of the iOS 10.2 jailbreak, tweeted about a potential solution for Cydia impactor, which would allow users to jailbreak their device without having to resign and reconnect every 7 days. However, it's been a month since this tweet went out, and we haven't seen any significant updates or progress on this front.
As of now, there are two projects in the works that aim to provide a more convenient solution for the yellow jailbreak. One project involves creating an app inside the App Store, while another is exploring the possibility of using Safari as a gateway for jailbreaking. However, with no new information emerging, it's essential to be cautious and wait for further updates before getting too excited.
We'll conclude this article by mentioning that we'll be back on Monday with more updates on the latest developments in the world of iOS jailbreaking. We have several videos scheduled, including an update on the current status of the Pangu team and their potential plans for releasing a jailbreak for iOS 10.3. Until then, stay tuned, and we look forward to sharing more news with you.
