After rigorous testing, in mid December, Apple dropped iOS 10.2 final version to the public. While iOS 10.2 brought many new features, it also patched a ton of bugs, killing a lot of the exploits which were used by hackers to demo their jailbreaks on initial versions of iOS 10.
Apple’s security document for iOS 10.2 confirmed that the company also patched a Project Zero exploit found by Google team in iOS 10.1.1. Once this was confirmed, one of the hackers from Google’s Chromium team made the exploit public as they no longer needed it. Luca Todesco then took it to himself and packed it into a full iOS 10.1.1 jailbreak solution for public.
