iOS 10 Jailbreak News: No Crack Release From Pangu Yet; Here Are Suggested Alternatives [Video]

It has already been several months since the release of iOS 10 followed quickly by Apple's release of iOS 10.1.1. Following at its heels, Apple came out with iOS 10.2 Beta 7 but to date, there has been no jailbreak release from Pangu for iOS 10.
