Project 0 at Google just recently released an exploit which they discovered allowing kernel execution via the firmware of the PCIe WiFi chip in iPhones 6 and higher.

This is capable of supplying a 10.3.3 and below jaibreak. - Apparently, even without ziVA or other recent exploits released. It is said to even allow for an untethered jaibreak, but not without much greater difficulty in assembling it.

I can only hope. Thoughts? Comments?

Damn is my thought.

I'm happy they found something of course and if it can ultimately be turned into a jailbreak that'd be awesome.

But the only device I have sitting on iOS 10 (10.3.1) is a 32-bit iPhone 5. So, unless they manage to migrate this exploit down to that it's not going to do my 5 any good.

Great for all those on the 6/6s/7 series though that have been waiting.
