If you want to switch from iOS 9 to iOS 8, that is no longer possible as Apple has stopped signing all iOS 8 versions.
With the release of iOS 9.0.2 yesterday, the updates come with a number of minor bug fixes and performance improvements, including fixing an issue with the app setting to turn cellular data usage on or off, solving an issue that prevented iMessage activation for some. Fixed an issue that caused the screen to rotate incorrectly when receiving notifications, and made several improvements to the Podcasts app.
Along with the release of the update, Apple has closed the signing window for iOS 8.4.1 and iOS 9.0.0.
A few weeks after the release of iOS 9, users who have updated to the latest version can unofficially upgrade to iOS 8.4.1 if they wish, but this is no longer possible and if you’ve updated to iOS 9 and don’t have a chance to downgrade, you can now do so .
Of course, Apple doesn’t condone downgrades of iOS, but usually after releasing a new version of iOS, it keeps the old version open for a few weeks, allowing users to restore their iPhone and iPad to that old version. version if they want.
Since an iOS 8.4.1 jailbreak has been worked out recently, jailbreaks are taking the biggest hit from this latest shutdown, so if you’re not currently using iOS 8.4.1 then you won’t be able to take advantage of this jailbreak. publishes at the end.
That said, the jailbreak developers are most likely working on an iOS 9 jailbreak as we speak, which may not be released anytime soon, but probably before the end of the year if history tells us anything.
The first iOS 8 jailbreak was released just a few months after iOS 8 was released, and it’s possible that iOS 9 will see the same timeline. That said, iOS 9.1 will likely be released at some point next month, and jailbreak developers can wait for this update to be released before releasing their jailbreak tools.
In any case, if you’re currently rocking the iOS 8.4.0 jailbreak from TaiG, you really shouldn’t feel too bad about not jailbreaking iOS 8.4.1 because it was a pretty minor update anyway and it didn’t happen. Come up with something big except some bug fixes here and there.
Jailbreakers should really be waiting for an iOS 9 jailbreak, and while the latest release comes with a lot of new features that used to be jailbreak tweaks, there’s still a lot jailbreakers can get to work on iOS 9.
iOS 9 keeps the same overall design and look as iOS 8, but includes a few new features like Split View multitasking and a new app switcher on the iPad, transit directions in Apple Maps, a revamped Notes app, and Low Power Mode on the iPhone. To save battery life when your phone is in its final stages. There are also improvements to Spotlight Search that let third-party apps join the fun, allowing you to search for files in an app directly from Spotlight.
Of course, it’s worth mentioning a handful of jailbreak tweaks that Apple discontinued in iOS 9, including lowercase letters on the keyboard, the ability to swipe across the keyboard to move the cursor, and even iOS 9’s new Picture-in-Picture Mode that lets you. watch video from one app while using another app altogether. This feature has actually been a jailbreak tweak for a while.
That said, jailbreak tweak developers will always find new tweaks to make for every new version of iOS, so while iOS 9 comes with all kinds of jailbreak-level features, the tweak developers will make it even better with some all-new tweaks.
