Apple's iOS 8.0.1 update was supposed to remove bugs and increase the battery life and several other common problems in the new iOS, but it didn't. Also, some users who have installed any Jailbreak iOS 8 updates lost their phone signals and the use of the TouchID function.

Speculations are rife that the iOS 8.1 update will be available in October, however, this will be the last update of iOS 8 this year. Coincidentally, the next update of iOS 8 is scheduled to be released on the date of release of Apple Watch.

Reports from IBTimes suggest that between the iOS 8.1 and iOS 8.2 update, there will be several jailbreaks available. According to speculation, the most recent iOS 8 jailbreak might arrive sometime in December this year.

According to iClarified, "Apple has stopped signing the iOS 7.1.2 firmware making it impossible to downgrade from iOS 8.x ... Oooooo. 7.1.2 signing just got killed."

Recently, there have been no updates available from the two main teams, i.e. evad3rs and Pangu.

Although several users have tried using more than one jailbreaking tool, they were only met with failure. According to Latin Times, the Chinese team Pangu is all set to bring in a new iOS 8-jail hack to provide the users with a Christmas gift. However, it remains yet to be seen if they will be successful in their endeavor or not.
