Here’s how the game of iOS cat-and-mouse jailbreak works. A team releases a working jailbreak for the most recent version of iOS to the public. Apple moves to eliminate the exploit that made the last jailbreak possible, releases a new version of iOS, and stops ‘signing’ previous jailbreakable versions of iOS, meaning they can no longer be installed on devices. Rinse and repeat.

The last version of iOS, iOS 8.1.1, closed the hole that made the Pangu jailbreak possible. But now a new jailbreak has been released, that will jailbreak iOS 8.1.1 on any device. Here’s how to install it.

The only time Apple publicly acknowledges the jailbreak community is when, semi-tauntingly, it lists the people responsible for finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in iOS that have now been patched.

In the aftermath of its just-released iOS 8.1.1 update, Apple adds a mention to its security logs of the China-based PanguTeam, who discovered three vulnerabilities fixed in the latest update of Apple’s mobile OS.

Thanks to Pangu, we have all been able to jailbreak our iPhone 6’s far earlier than most of us thought possible. Unfortunately, though, Apple has been moving to close the loophole that makes the iOS 8 jailbreak possible with the iOS 8.1.1 beta, which is currently snaking through developer channels. When it arrives, poof, no more jailbreak.

Unfortunately, it seems like the iOS 8.1.1 update could arrive soon, perhaps as early as today. Better jailbreak now, people

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.
