Apple has just rolled out a beta of iOS 8.1.1, which applies a number of key fixes and performance enhancements, but in a bit of disappointing news as far as the jailbreak scene is concerned, also appears to have patched some of the exploits that have allowed Pangu8 to reach so many.

The only issue with this untether is that it's not exactly noob-proof, with many of the steps involved in jailbreaking, manually installing Cydia and such requiring at least a passable amount of prior knowledge. But Pangu has announced that it is well into combining its tool with the very latest version of Cydia, and once testing and consultation with Saurik has commenced, could release to the end user as soon as tomorrow.
