Shortly after releasing the OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite beta to developers, Apple has followed up with the first developer build of iOS 8.1.1, comprising various bug performances and performance tweaks.
The bug fixes mean that iOS 8.1.1 performance is improved on both the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s, which are two of the oldest generation devices to support Apple’s latest mobile OS. There have also been minor tweaks to the Health App.
The beta release of iOS 8.1.1 comes roughly two weeks after Apple officially launched iOS 8.1 to the public. The biggest change in iOS 8.1 was Apple Pay, meaning that iPhone 6 and 6 Plus owners can now use their Touch ID at NFC registers to pay for retail goods. The update also boasted SMS relays to your Mac, an Instant Hotspot feature, iCloud Photo Library to replace Photo Stream, and the return of Camera Roll.

I need a jailbreak now cuz my damn girl updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 8.1 (by accident she claims). by accident my ass!! Now without Cydia I can’t get back the “bigU Movies” app I installed from xsellize repo or insanelyi repo to watch new movies like John Wick, Fury, Dracula Untold, The Equalizer, Annabelle and No Good Deed. I really hope I can use this Pangu jailbreak successfully cuz my nights & weekends won’t be the same when I can’t watch movies..
