TaiG is one of the most popular names in the jailbreaking scene for Apple’s devices – they’re a team from China that has come out with jailbreak tools for various versions of the operating system and they’re one of the best-known members of the jailbreak community. Their newest tool for iOS 8.4 has been talked about for a while, and now it’s been released on the market, allowing owners of iOS devices to experience the improvements in the latest version of the OS without having to suffer from its restrictions.
While it’s not very difficult to jailbreak an iOS device – there are plenty of instructions for using the tools, as well as a helpful community that’s always eager to assist those in need – users should always make a backup of their data before proceeding, and keep in mind that there are some potential problems that can come up in the process.
Reading up in detail on the procedure is the best way to make sure that it’s going to go without any issues, and as we said above, there are plenty of materials online for that purpose. Another thing worth keeping in mind is that jailbreaking a device voids its warranty, and users who run into any problems during the procedure won’t be able to make use of their local support representatives for free. Actually, this can be a big problem for those who rely heavily on their warranty, and it’s advisable to avoid jailbreaking a phone in that case.
Another point that has been brought up often in the community lately is that users should only download the tool from official sources. Some malicious attackers have apparently started to exploit the popularity of TaiG by releasing fake versions of their jailbreak tool which are actually packed with viruses. Users should always take care to ensure that they’re downloading the right version of the tool from the official sources only.
The new tool by TaiG is completely untethered, which is good news for those who don’t like to tweak their devices every time they need a reboot. Normally, with an untethered jailbreak, every time the device is restarted the user needs to perform the procedure all over again as their settings aren’t preserved. The iOS 8.4 jailbreak tool by TaiG has been designed to give an “unlimited” jailbreak though, so users shouldn’t run into any issues in the long term after getting inside their devices.
So far, responses to iOS 8.4 have been mostly positive, with people praising Apple for the improvements in the system’s stability and performance, but on the other hand some have been wishing for more rapid deployment of new features, particularly when it comes to usability and customization. Apple have been doing a lot of work to improve iOS lately, and it’s starting to show – but there are still some minor details that the community has been requesting frequently, and it would be good to see them arriving soon.
It might be that Apple are just waiting for the next major version of their operating system, as it’s been rumored for a while now that iOS 9 is coming closer and closer. We don’t know exactly what the new OS is going to include, but some of the most prominent rumors have been discussing new customization options and overall slightly more control for the user over the operating system. Which, according to most of Apple’s fans, wouldn’t be a bad thing with their products right now.
