Developers are currently testing the new firmware update and users keep waiting for the next iOS 8 upgrade version that will fix all the bugs and problems they have. iOS 8.1 release date is rumored to be in the end of October. As some experts think, Apple will unveil this operating system update to public on October 20. iOS 8.1 features should include Apple Pay. This is a new option that was rumored to appear earlier this year but wasn’t present in the iOS 8, 8.0.1 and 8.0.2. Fast iOS 8.1 launch means that hackers might not release untethered iOS 8 jailbreak waiting for the next update to be sure Apple doesn’t kill the vulnerabilities found by them. Teams from China and the U.S. assure they are working on such a tool but they don’t mention the launch time and date so the jailbreaking community continues waiting for it in hopes to see it sooner than later. As soon as Apple releases its new firmware, we’ll share download iOS 8.1 links with all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. You’ll be able to update to iOS 8.1 through OTA or direct links. Any method is good so just choose what you like more. iOS devs reportedly test three firmware updates these days. Apple seeded iOS 8.2 and iOS 8.3 along with iOS 8.1 to them. Such faster launch cycles are something new to the Cupertino-based tech company.
