As the wait continues for the rumored Pangu iOS 10.3 jailbreak release, which is expected to happen starting May 15 if the rumors are correct, questions arise on what to do before the JB tool is made public and how jailbreak fans should react when Apple starts the rollout of firmware version 10.3.2.

The answer is stay still. As reported by Redmond Pie, Pangu's plan is for the new jailbreak to come out after 10.3.2 has been rolled out, purportedly to make sure that the exploits on versions 10.3 and 10.3.1 remain working. If Apple was unable to close the jailbreak opening identified by Team Pangu then the group's solution will be good to go.

But 10.3.2 having the dreaded jailbreak patch or not, it's common sense not to update to the firmware if the intention is to jailbreak with the upcoming Pangu tool. As the jailbreak is based on 10.3 and 10.3.1, it's automatic that those moving up will be locked out of the jailbreak. And that means, jailbreak killer or not version 10.3.2 should be treated like the plague by jailbreak fans.

As for those already using Luca Todesco's Yalu jailbreak, know that the Pangu solution is yet to be confirmed. In fact, there is a chance that the demo seen in China last April will remain as that and Team Pangu will end up vanishing again and no jailbreak will be provided.

To be on the safe side, it's best to stick with the Todesco jailbreak until the Pangu version actually comes out. Basing on the things seen so far, it will be worth the wait as the Chinese hacking team showcased a jailbroken iPhone 7 running on iOS 10.3.1. The same presentation hinted the possibility of the next jailbreak supporting not only the current iPhone models but all 64-bit devices, which the Yalu JB tool lacks.

And for the hold outs - those who elected to remain on iOS 9.x jailbreak, it's safe to assume that jumping to iOS 10 is okay now. If indeed the teased Pangu iOS 10.3 jailbreak will prove a fake, they can at least take advantage of the crack that is the Yalu102 jailbreak.

The solution, according to Todesco, will soon leave beta 7 status and move forward to beta 8. The hacker even declared recently that Yalu102 is likely to be finalized, meaning it would run on more devices, zap the 7-day signing issue and include cool features such as Dark Mode.
