Luca Todesco says not to upgrade to iOS 10.2. Jailbreak in sight?

The first thing I would like to make clear in this post is who he is Luca Todesco. He is a great hacker who has managed to do the jailbreak to many versions of iOS, but he is best known for not releasing any tools with his signature. Yes, it has helped other hacker teams on one isolated occasion by providing exploits, but it has never jailbroken. This week, the famous hacker is in the news again, this time for advise us not to update to iOS 10.2 once the new version is released.

What is a fact, if we trust Todesco's tweets, is that iOS will take another important step in terms of security when iOS 10.2 is released officially. The famous hacker says that in the beta 5 of iOS 10.2 Apple has managed to close many exploits that could be used to create a tool that would allow us to jailbreak our iPhone or iPad. Here are several tweets explaining that "staying on iOS 10.1.1 is a wise choice."

iOS 10.2 closes holes that allow jailbreak

• Keep in mind that iOS 10 kills a lot of bugs, staying at iOS 10.1.1 is a wise choice.

• (Logically, if you are not concerned about security. If you are concerned about security, install the beta.

• I've said this before: iOS betas are usually more secure than stable versions. If you are concerned about security, install them.

• Many are not understanding what I say, let's clarify: betas are generally more secure, but only when they are more recent than stable ones, of course.

If you asked me what I think Todesco's tweets mean, I think they say what we can read without further ado, that is, the famous hacker is not going to start increasing his fame by starting to launch tools that allow us to unlock our iOS devices, but warn that it is much easier to jailbreak iOS 10.1.1 than iOS 10.2, so if you are waiting for a jailbreak, the most sensible thing to do is stick to iOS 10.1.1. If the time comes to launch a tool for a more updated version, we can always update just before jailbreaking.

Reading Todesco's tweets, what do you think? Do you think he is going to launch or is he collaborating with someone to launch an iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak?
