While we wait for the release of a jailbreak for iOS 11, hacker Abraham Masri has released a jailbreak called Saïgon for
Apple released iOS 10.2.1 to fix the vulnerabilities used by the Yalu jailbreak for iOS 10 - iOS 10.2. iOS 10.2.1 was released back in January, and there was no jailbreak for it.

Saïgon for iOS 10.2.1 is supported by the following devices:
- iPod Touch 6 (10.2.1)
- iPhone SE (10.2.1)
- iPhone 6 / Plus (10.2.1)
- iPhone 6s / Plus (10.2.1)
- iPad Mini 4 (10.2.1) (not tested)
- iPad Air 2 (10.2.1)
Saïgon is not supported by these 32-bit devices:
- iPhone 5c, iPhone 5 and older models
- iPod touch 5G and older
- iPad mini, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4
Unfortunately, rolling back to iOS 10.2.1 will not work, because Apple stopped signing this firmware back in February. You can use the Saïgon jailbreak only if you already have iOS 10.2.1 installed.

The jailbreak ipa file is not available, so youyou will have to create it through Xcode using the code from GitHub to download and install it through Cydia Impactor. After creating the Saïgon.ipa file, follow the steps below:
- Download the .ipa file andCydia Impactor.
- Open Cydia Impactor and connect your device to the computer.
- Drag the Saïgon.ipa file into the Cydia Impactor window.
- Enter your Apple ID (email and password).
- Go to Settings → General → Profiles and device management.
- Trust the new certificate → open saïgon.
- Click ‘jailbreak’ and enjoy!
- If something doesn’t work, reboot the device and try again.
So far, there is nothing about jailbreak for iOS 11It’s known, but not so long ago the Pheonix jailbreak for iOS 9.3.5 was released, and now Saïgon for iOS 10.2.1. Although this proves that creating a jailbreak is getting harder and harder, it inspires other hackers not to give up and continue to do this.
Judging by the comments on reddit, many users have jailbreak issues. Now it is in alpha version, so we advise you to wait until the developers fix the bugs.
Jailbreak only works with iOS 10.2.1, and it will not support your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 10.2.
We assume that this is a semi-tethered jailbreak, like Yalu, which means that with each reboot of the device it will have to be reinstalled through the application.
