Apple has released the new iOS 8.4.1, which rendered TaiG's 8.4 jailbreak unusable. This means that those who have availed the China-based hacking team's jailbreak tool wouldn't be able to use their jailbroken apps and games when they update to the new iOS.
Apple has also stopped signing all its products with iOS 8.4, which means that once a user updates to iOS 8.4.1, they will not be able to revert their device to its previous mobile operating system version. This makes it all the more important for users with a jailbroken iOS 8.4 to stay away from the update.
However, while the Cupertino-based company seems to have won this battle against TaiG, another hacking team is working on a jailbreak for the new software. Pangu recently showed a demonstration of their very own iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak tool during the HackPwn2015 security conference.
Notably, Pangu has been particularly quiet and dormant with the jailbreaking business, but this changed over the weekend. However, although the jailbreak tool looks good and ready to go, Pangu has yet to reveal when it will actually be made available to the public.
Nevertheless, it shouldn't take long. Before Apple manages to complete the all-new iOS 9, Pangu's masterpiece should already be out. Speaking of the upcoming firmware, hacking teams are already preparing jailbreak tools that will work on the yet-to-be released iOS.
TaiG, who appears to have conceded the extermination of its iOS 8.4 jailbreak tool released back in June, is setting its sights on a much bigger feat. The group is reportedly working long and hard to break into the iOS 9.
The battle between hacking teams and Apple sees no end as each other finds a way to get the better of the other's products shortly after they are released.
