From nowhere, iOS 7.1 jailbreak has landed. The jailbreak tool named Pangu comes from an unknown Chinese hacker team. The tutorial to jailbreak iOS 7.1 and iOS 7.1.1 seems bit shady. However, there is no such issue detected yet.

Previously we kept on learning about the possibility of iOS 7.1 jailbreak. Many popular hackers i.e. iH8sn0w and Winocm were able to jailbreak iOS 7.1. But they did not make it public. Their major focus was towards iOS 8 whose initial impressions look good for JAILBREAK.

The tool is compatible with iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPad Mini with Retina and iPod touch 5th gen.
