Root On iOS 10 3 3 Has Been Achieved Jailbreaking is Near

More often than not, developers tend to experiment with the security of iOS without public releases.

iOS 10.3.3 has been out for many months at this point with no indication of a jailbreak materialising anytime soon.

That changes now as the famous developer S1guza, known for his work with Phoænix Jailbreak, has publicly released an exploit which successfully gains root access on iOS 10.3.3.

While this doesnt necessarily mean that the firmware can now be jailbroken, it most definitely is a huge step forward for breaking the security of iOS 10.3.3.

The developer is still actively working on the exploit which is yet another bright indicator. Many security researchers tend to drop unfinished exploits then let the unknowing community handle the rest which usually doesnt result in anything positive.

For the time being, the exploit works on all 64bit iPhones, with the exclusion of the iPhone 7. S1guza has confirmed that he is indeed planning on bringing iPhone 7 and 7 Plus support to the exploit in the near future:

I plan to, but Ill have to see about feasibility. The i7 has SMAP, which for now kills my exploit technique.
