iOS 8 Jailbreak Possibly Just Weeks Away

By Max Bonto, Christian Post Contributor Wednesday, October 15, 2014

The iOS 8 has had a very rocky start from its release with a plethora of connectivity issues and battery drain plaguing its users. Apple has tried remedying the issues with subsequent patches but only seem to birth more problems than it fixes. Users aren't switching to the iOS 8 because of the issues accompanying it but it might change with the release of the iOS 8.1 update.

The iOS 8.1 update may be released sometime this October and following that will be the somewhat anticipated jailbreak of the OS. Jailbreaks aren't a foreign concept for Apple nor for Google in that matter as jailbreaks of Apple's iOS and Google's Android systems have been existing as long as the operating system itself.

Unlike previous versions of the iOS, the latest one might take a while before either Team Evad3rs or Pangu will be able to develop a working jailbreak. Not that it's impossible to jailbreak the iOS 8, there are just some issues that Apple would need to address first before jailbreakers would attempt to break the code.

While it's easy enough to find an exploit for the iOS 8, jailbreaking isn't advisable right now with the issues the iOS is facing right now, especially the bugs and glitches it is experiencing. Until the legitimate OS is stable enough, only then will the jailbreakers get to work.

Also, since the iOS 8 is a new version of the Apple mobile operating system, a lot of apps might not work correctly at first and may need time to fix. Apparently, jailbreakers are letting Apple fix their software first before making any moves on it.
