Apple has just release iOS 8.4.1 update for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch supported models in advance to upcoming release of iOS 9. This will be the final update for iOS 8 before iOS 9. This update is really small but Jailbreak killer. It contains bug fixes for Apple Music released in June 2015. This update seems small but hugely impacts the Jailbroken iOS Devices.
According to Apple Support, this update kills all the vulnerabilities to perform iOS 8.X jailbreak. All the previous Jailbreaks released for iOS 8.1.2, 8.1.3, 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 are useless and all the exploits have been patched. However, this update is not like big deal breaker. So if you don’t update your iDevice you can have Jailbreak.
But if you are security conscious and really care about your iOS device data then you should update your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch supported models to iOS 8.4.1. There is some good news though if you have accidently updated your device to iOS 8.1.4 you have still time to downgrade to iOS 8.4 as Apple is still signing ( allowing users to downgrade to previous version of iOS 8.4).
If you are concerned about whether iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak will come or not. Than it more unlikely to come as Apple has already patched all the available exploits which are responsible for iOS 8 jailbreak. More, if there is some possibility of Jailbreaking iOS 8.4.1 developer will most likely avoid releasing and hide the exploits from Apple. So iOS 9 Jailbreak will come.
