Apple Releases iOS 8.4.1, Can I Jailbreak 8.4.1 Untethered with TaiG?

iOS 8.4.1 Released, is it Possible to Jailbreak iOS 8.4.1 and Should I Update? - Today, following approximately one month of developer beta testing, Apple released iOS 8.4.1 to the general public. iOS 8.4.1, being the first general iOS release since the company issued iOS 8.4 to introduce Apple Music, is a rather unfortunate release for jailbreakers, as it patches the Untethered TaiG iOS 8.4 jailbreak that was released at the end of June. With a build number of 12H321, iOS 8.4.1 is available for immediate download either as an OTA software update in the Settings app or via the traditional iTunes method.

The latest iOS 8.4.1 firmware is an incredibly minor release and, therefore, knowing that iOS 8.4.1 won’t introduce any noticeable features, updating to iOS 8.4.1 certainly doesn’t justify the loss of one’s iOS 8.4 TaiG jailbreak. Continue reading past the break for additional information pertaining to not only TaiG, but also how iOS 8.4.1 likely effects the jailbreak!
