You should know that a great deal of Apple users jailbreak their devices. If you have the system internals unlocked away from the default factory restrictions, it’s important you don’t install the latest iOS 8.1.1 since it patches the Pangu jailbreak. Therefore, if you do install the file the Pangu jailbreak no longer works. You will have to downgrade and jailbreak again, or wait for Pangu to update their version. According to the team, Pangu are confident they can always unchain the OS again. We’ll have to wait and see for the official results.

The fruit company do a great job of rolling the OTA signals out fast. That means you will find the over the air update available from the update section of your Apple device soon if not already.
