iOS 8.2 Jailbreak Release Date Coming Soon?
It has been a few weeks since Apple released its latest update for its mobile devices, iOS 8.2. As the recent update brought with it another slew of problems and bugs, iOS users are eagerly awaiting the latest iOS jailbreak for iOS 8.2.
Rumors started circulating that the iOS 8.2 jailbreak will be coming soon. According to a report in iDownloadBlog, a new beta version of TinyUmbrella was released the past weekend.
TinyUmbrella is a tool for downgrade-aiding, and the report said that this "signals that we may soon be able to manually downgrade to jailbreakable firmware on our iOS devices—something we haven't been able to do in years."
Another source of the rumors is a recent announcement of the TaiG team, a known group of hackers, that it is organizing a "Mobile Security Summit" on March 27, 2015. Reports say that the group may use the event to launch a new iOS 8.2 jailbreak. TaiG is a group of Asian hackers whose most recent jailbreak release was the one for both iOS 8.1.1 and 8.1.2.
The report also warned iOS users that there is no available public jailbreak available for 8.1.3, 8.2 and 8.3 and that users should be wary of anyone claiming that they have these available anywhere.
On a related note, some reports have surfaced about the problems that the newest update has brought to iOS users. Forbes cites two problems. The first of which is what iOS users call "WiFried." It is the phenomenon that causes phones or iPads to drop wireless connections and then will no longer reconnect. This results in "massive battery drain" which can drain off the device's power within four to six hours.
The second issue has to do with additional "bloatware" that occupies space and cannot be uninstalled. This includes an Apple Watch app, which gets installed regardless whether you have an Apple Watch or not.
