With iOS 8 problems still affecting iPad users and an iOS 8.1.1 release on the horizon, we want to take an early look at the iOS 8.1.1 update for iPad and its upcoming release for iOS 8 powered devices like the iPad Air and iPad mini. However, we also pointed out that we hope these fixes also apply to some other devices. For example our iPad mini has been virtually unusable since iOS 8.0.2 released. The beta for 8.1.1 was made available to devs almost a week ago, but at the moment we don’t know when it will make a public release. It could be that it will arrive shortly, but the alternative is that Apple will seed iOS 8.1.1 beta 2 to developers for further testing.
When the final version of iOS 8.1.1 is released, we'll throw it on an iPhone 4S and iPad 2 to see how much the performance really improves. Although they're not mentioned by name in the release notes, we'd also expect the improvements to help the original iPad Mini and the fifth-generation iPod Touch, which are internally similar to the 4S and iPad 2.

Apple has already seeded a beta of iOS 8.1.1 to developers. The new beta carries with it various bug fixes and performance improvements, according to the release notes. No specific details have been revealed. And since it's a minor update, we probably won't see anything earthshaking added to Apple's mobile OS.
If you are still running iOS 7 or any version of iOS 8 released prior to 8.1 then now is the time to upgrade to the latest version and jailbreak it. Once iOS 8.1.1 is rolled out you won’t be able to install iOS 8.1 on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. In that case you will have to wait for team Pangu or Evad3rs to release a jailbreak for that particular version of the operating system, which could take months to happen provided they actually decide to release one.

Will iOS 8.1.1 fix all the problems that the latest iOS version Apple released?
A few week ago after Apple released iOS 8.1, many hoped that all the problems will be solved and they will finally enjoy the latest iOS version on their devices. However, iOS 8.1 came and there are still a lot of problems to be solved on this new OS that Apple worked on in the past months. Earlier this week, Apple released iOS 8.1.1 beta trying to avoid the mistakes they did on iOS 8.0.1.
That being said, for those of you who own iPhone, iPod touch or iPad’s running iOS 8 through 8.1, you’ll be required to perform a restore prior to the execution of the jailbreak for iOS 8.1 – to do so, and to successfully achieve a jailbroken state, follow the procedure outlined in our guide sooner rather than later.
