iOS 8.1 was released about a month ago by the Apple company and although it seems hard to believe at the moment, it is still signed for installation in iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch by those from Cupertino. iOS 8.1 is the last version of the operating system that can still be jailbroken using the solution of pangu jailbreak, and that's because Apple has blocked the possibility of exploiting iOS 8.1.1.
