Apple released iOS 8.1 on Monday, and now it seems that the work to jailbreak iOS 8.1 was successful.

If on that day many users will not be able to easily jailbreak an iOS device 8, that could change very quickly. Indeed, the initial version is for developers rather than end users . If the first version did not contain the Cydia Store, which is essential to download applications that are not available in the App Store, a new version of Cydia that should work with iOS 8.1 jailbroken devices has just made its appearance on the web.
However, even if you're not a developer, it might be a good idea to jailbreak your device sooner than later . Indeed; Apple could patch the vulnerability exploited by the tool Pangu in the next update of iOS, and could make the most complicated things in the future.
At its launch, the tool to jailbreak iOS 8 Pangu can only be run on a Windows computer, and it can be difficult to execute commands as they are all in Chinese. The developers emphasize that you must disable all passwords security, and disable "Find My iPhone" before using the tool.
The jailbreak is said to work with all devices compatible with iOS 8.1 , which would include the iPhone 5S, the new iPhone 6 models, and the range of iPad models, among which are the new iPad 2 and iPad Mini Air 3.
