A series of rumors have been surfing the web recently, most particularly on Reddit, that a jailbreak for iOS 8.4.1 is already in the works and could be released soon in the future. As of now, iOS 8.4 is the last firmware which can be jailbroken by the TaiG tool.
A Twitter user going by the name Luca Todesco claims that he has been working on a jailbreak tool for iOS 8.4.1 and could be releasing it soon in the near future. The good news is that Apple is still signing the firmware which means that if you’re running a later version of iOS then this is the best time for you to downgrade your device back to iOS 8.4.1 if you’re interested in jailbreaking it once a legit tool becomes available. Keep in mind that Apple could close the signing window anytime soon making it impossible for you to downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 anymore.
Luca has also shared a brief detail about himself on Reddit:
i haven’t been part of any major jailbreak in the past, but i’ve been researching xnu & (generally speaking) darwin userland for quite a while, i’ve been involved in iphoneos stuff since 1.1.3 or something like that. made a few tweaks along the way.i also happen to love memory corruption exploitation. see http://github.com/kpwn/vpwn / http://github.com/kpwn/tpwnplus, kim jong cracks. world’s only intelliscreen x DRM bypass was my research.
Whether the rumors are true or not that the iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak could be released soon, I recommend that you take your time to downgrade your device just in case a legit jailbreak tool is released. iOS 9 has been out for a week and there’s an increased chance that Apple will soon close the signing window for iOS 8.4.1.
