However, one of the worries was that Apple may have patched the vulnerabilities in iOS 8.1.1 that were used in the latest Pangu jailbreak for iOS 8 – iOS 8.1.
Unfortunately, it does look like that is the case as an alleged member of the Pangu team has confirmed that iOS 8.1.1 patches the exploits used in the Pangu jailbreak. reddit user illusionmist has translated a message posted by Weibo user Daniel_K4:
It means that devices running on iOS 8.1.1 cannot be jailbroken using the Pangu jailbreak. Pangu team is yet to announce this on their Weibo or Twitter page, so we’ll wait for an official confirmation, but we won’t be surprised if Apple has patched the vulnerability to kill Pangu jailbreak.Apple has released iOS 8.1.1 beta to developers. After our tests, it has patched the jailbreak exploit. Anyone who wish to jailbreak, please seize the chance to upgrade to iOS 8.1 and do so before Apple officially releases iOS 8.1.1.
It remains to be seen if Pangu team has any other trick (exploit) up their sleeves to jailbreak iOS 8.1.1 to stay ahead of the cat and mouse game with Apple.
