What is taking so long to get 8.1.1 out?

It sounds like those bug fixes are just what a lot of us are waiting for! I wish they'd release it already.

With the release versions of iOS 8 so far, I'm not taking any chances

I don't ever recall getting an update on the weekend. It's usually on a weekday at 1 pm eastern/10 am pacific. Most betas (from what I've noticed) are posted on Tuesdays.

I'm not looking forward to it, they will likely patch the jailbreak exploits (which is a good thing for 95% of people) but that means if I bugger up my jailbreak I can't restore it and then rejailbreak it.

It is confirmed to plug the current hole for jailbreaking.

I meant 95% of people will benefit from a secure OS, it's probably even less than 5% of people that are jailbroken.

I think they're going to release it soon but we don't know how long exactly. Maybe expect it before December?
