For a long time there was a lull in the jailbreak area, but then Ian Beer released his “tfp0” exploit, and that’s it
For the first time not even one, but severaljailbreak tools for iOS 10 and iOS 11. This is great news, but now it's easy for users to get confused. Many people are often interested in which jailbreak is best for iOS 10, and which for iOS 11. It depends on your version of iOS.

Today we will take a closer look at all available jailbreak apps for iOS 10 - iOS 10.3.3, to get you up to speed.
Meridian
Meridian is a semi-tethered jailbreak foriOS 10.3.x, created by hacker and developer Ben Sparks. The application's IPA file can be downloaded to your device via Cydia Impactor. It supports the following 64-bit devices:
- iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
- iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus
- iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
- iPhone SE
- iPhone 5S
- iPad Air 1 and iPad Air 2
- iPad (2017)
- iPad Mini 2, iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 4
- iPad Pro 1 and iPad Pro 2 (12.9 ″ and 9.7 ″)
- iPod Touch 6th Generation
Jailbreak uses the KPPless technique. In order to remove the limitations of Apple (which is essentially a jailbreak), you need to access the code and make changes to it. This is called a KPP bypass technique. However, Meridian uses a new technique - KPPless. With its help, the code can be changed very quietly.

Cydia has not yet been updated under the KPPless technique, so the Meridian jailbreak does not support it.

G0blin is a semi-tethered jailbreak for iOS 10.3.x hacker and developer Sticktron. Its IPA file is also downloaded via Cydia Impactor. The tool supports iOS 10.3.1, iOS 10.3.2 and iOS 10.3.3. It should also work with older versions of iOS 10. The jailbreak supports the following 64-bit devices:

This tool uses Luca Todesco's KPP bypass technique, and therefore it does not support iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
