However, this happiness was going to be short-lived. Instead, the team seems to be considering the possibilities of jailbreaking Apple’s next iOS iteration. Team Pangu! It was the first to jailbreak iOS 8 and it also released untethered tools for iOS 8-iOS 8.1 as well as iOS 7.1.x.
The Pangu team was not so active in the jailbreak scene and had literally disappeared while TaiG and PP took the lead.
Recently, at the HackPwn 2015 convention, the Chinese jailbreak developer and hacker team, Pangu, is reported to have demonstrated iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak on an iPhone 6, but a public version of it is highly unlikely, reports iDownloadblog.
Apple has now stopped signing iOS 8.4, making it impossible to downgrade or upgrade, without losing your jailbreak.
Simply put, if you’re on a firmware version pre-iOS 8.4.1, then we suggest you stay clear of any update that might be thrown at you from Apple. According to press release, updates patch up improvement in Apple Music and fixes bug issue.
It is really surprising that Pangu managed to jailbreak iOS 8.4.1 in such a short time, considering the fact that a large number of exploits were fixed by Apple.
Interestingly, the team says they have no plans to publicly release the jailbreak.
