Apple just released final version of iOS 8.4.1 download links for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users. This release comes almost a month after iOS 8.4 was released with support for Apple Music in late June.
iOS 8.4.1 will likely be the last release of iOS 8. With iOS 9 in beta since early June, it is expected to launch alongside new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus at an event next month in September.
While there is no 100% confirmation yet, rumor has it that Apple has patched exploits used by TaiG to jailbreak iOS 8.4, and iOS 8.1.3, 8.2 and 8.3 before it. If you’re a jailbreaker and care about all the tweaks you have installed, DO NOT update to iOS 8.4.1 until there is any confirmation on jailbreak front. We’ll obviously post here as soon as we get to know more about it.
Those of you who don’t care about jailbreaking, you can simply update over-the-air to the latest version by heading to Settings > General > Software Update.
Here’s the full official changelog of iOS 8.4.1:
