Apple stops signing iOS 8.4.1, goodbye to Jailbreak

ios-8-4-1-sign

The latest version of iOS was released on September 16, the arrival of iOS 9 promised unparalleled fluidity and optimization on the iPhone, however, we were left with the battery life, for the rest, the weekly update that we is providing Apple (yesterday released iOS 9.0.2) attest that something they are doing wrong from Cupertino. This very afternoon, after the barrage of updates, Apple has decided to stop signing iOS 8.4.1, the expansion of iOS 9 in more than 50% of the devices has been the detail that has led Apple to make this decision definitively.

We had recently talked about the possible Jailbreak for iOS 8.4.1 and especially the barrage of downgrades that many users would do to install it, however, the joy in a well, since Apple has stopped signing iOS 8.4.1 definitively, forcing to the user who has already updated to iOS 9 or who is testing the betas of iOS 9.1 to not be able to downgrade to any firmware version lower than iOS 9, so the iOS 8.4.1 Jailbreak starts to lose consciousness, and perhaps it would be more profitable to focus efforts towards the iOS 9 Jailbreak.

However, we have iOS 9.1 in sight, at the end of October or beginning of November, with the arrival of the iPad Pro, iOS 9.1 will also arrive, which promises even more optimization than iOS 9, which remained at that, promises. LSafety usually comes first at Apple, And of course, the new versions of iOS ensure it.

However, this news will sit like a jug of cold water for many users who had the illusions set in iOS 8.4.1 and its possible Jailbreak, so, if you are on that version of iOS and expect a Jailbreak, do not move from there , or you will not be able to go back, although there is no guarantee of a future jailbreak.

    If you let me say one thing and before the fanbreaks hit me ...

    The jailbreak no longer makes sense or iOS 8.4.1 or iOS 9, in iOS 9 we have many of those "tweaks" and better optimized than with the jailbreak, you can do anything. But I know many colleagues who did the jailbreak (they have been doing it for years), in the end they have been withdrawn because the functions they give you are already in iOS 9 also for security. It is an opinion, but it is no longer worth it, now they only do it for money, not for the benefit of users (before it was like that).

    I honestly read on a page that they gave a million euros to the one who gets the jailbreak through Phising… I don't know but I don't trust….

    My eyes are burning with that blunder of spelling that you have cracked. Search it.

    I don't know where the spelling mistake is, could you please tell me that your eyes are not burning either so as not to tell me, instead of saying that they burn, tell me it takes less time, we are not machines, we are human and we make mistakes, but many seem to be gods ... Maybe the failure is the "phising" greetings

      He was joking, he didn't want to offend anyone. I get confused many times. It wasn't for you anyway. The author of the article has written "finds" instead of "haya." Only that hehe

    I think the Jailbreak is necessary more than ever, especially to Downgrade to other previous versions, iOS 6 and 7 especially. IPhones 4,4S and iPad 2 and 3 need more previous versions every day due to Apple's policy of disabling old devices, which will take a toll on them in one way or another as they continue like this. On the other hand, it is inexplicable that Apple stops signing iOS 8.4.1 after a version of iOS 9 that promised optimization and is worse than iOS 8 in performance. A shame. Good thing they have an operating system specifically designed for selected hardware. It is clear that this is done on purpose, and it is a shame. I'm not going to use iOS 9 until I see performance improvement on iPad 2 and 3 or iPhone 4S, I'm sticking with iOS 8.

    I have the jailbreak to customize my iPhone…. put ringtones without paying or do it with iTunes ... change of appearance and tweaks, type funds and others ... accessory utilities type MyBand and thousands of other things that it costs Apple to put.
    But a matter of taste.

    It is wrong that they close doors to the downgrade, not because of the jailbreak, nor could it be done in version 8.4.1 it does not even exist. rather for applications that are still not compatible and that leads me to move on the other side, since I could live without the "news" ... as well as the shore for people to acquire one of their new equipment. offering two or three things and all the rest is the same. only more expensive.

    Rafael pazos ..

    Have you ever had the jailbreak? Because as I read your comment .. «I know many colleagues who have had it»
    I assure you that there are still many iOS to be able to do everything you do with the jailbreak, since iOS 4.2.1 with the iPhone 3G with jailbreak and I have seen changes in the last iOS 8/9, but I have been waiting 4 years. way to be able to delete all the emails at once and until iOS9 they have not put that tab that tells you to "delete everything" with the jailbreak it already had it since iOS 6, closing all the multitasking apps is a difficult task, connecting the 2G / 3G / 4G from the control center seems that also, Activate the home by touching your finger without having to press and wear that button that the "year" It is not half as sensitive "Virtual home" is what they should have taken with the iOS9, Accesses or utilities to preserve and improve everyone's experience .. I could write the Bible of things that are still to come.
    Not everything is shiny .. I also know that with jailbreak and if you don't know how to use it and install unsupported tweeks, it reduces fluency or bugs etc.

    And the issue of "they do it for money" is relative, they have always done it for money. Cydia is an AppStore, just as they have free tweeks, they have them for payment and although it was free before according to you, they do not charge for it. jailbreak but surely that saurik of the benefits of Cydia, would give a part to the hacker. If not, what do they live on? Apart from more than 50% of the users ... surely they install repositories so as not to pay for the tweeks and what they get ... Then we have to pay the consequences to those who really do pay a pittance! € 1 € 2 € 3 is often spent on nonsense, it's like innovation .. Do you get something new and would you like others to copy from you? For that reason ... «I see well that they charge»

    Well, it is true that iOS 9 integrates several "tweaks", but at least in my case until there is something like CCSettings and VirtualHome I prefer to stay with iOS 8 + Jail. It seems to me that the CCSettings thing is basic, I do not understand that it has been so long since the control center was included in iOS and that there is no customization on its accesses.

    As long as Apple does not allow using XBMC (now Kodi) without Jailbreak, for me the jailbreak is totally essential ... so the fault that continues to jailbreak ALL my iOS devices is Apple and period ...

    Rafael Pazos, everyone is free to install whatever they want. so yourself, if you don't like jailbreak, don't install it, period and you eat the comments

    What happens that I cannot comment, it is a post, it is an opinion that I give, I have been doing jailbreak for 5 years and I have seen that it no longer works for "me" you can install what comes out of your noses, but seeing how are the Chinese and the "reputation they bring" I do not trust, I have jailbroken up to iOS 8.4 and I did not like it at all, it is a simple opinion.

    Now there are laws to comment on in a post, how is society? My God ... in no time, a card to give opinions ...

    Yes you can install anything, ccsettings took 1 second to go to those settings!

    Everyone has their tastes, but hey, everyone does what they want, I prefer security over modifications, greetings and thanks!

    Goodbye Jailbreak? Goodbye for those who did not save the SSH and updated to iOS 9 I at least prefer to stay on iOS 8.4.1 until the Jailbreak comes out, I have always used iPhone and really if I do not have the Jailbreak I feel that it is a Smartphone like any other for Call and Send Messages, with Jailbreak you can modify the iPhone as it is and take advantage of the full potential of the phone, I have always insisted on something and that is that for a person to want such a »sophisticated» smartphone if it is not to get the least drop of their potential? To say you have such a phone? By appearance? By »Status»? Smartphones are to be squeezed as it is and with the Jailbreak the iPhone takes out all the true potential they have! So it is very difficult for someone to comment that the Jailbreak is no longer good for anything if they never get 120% of their smartphones… .. !!!
