A group of Chinese developers known as “TaiG” has released a jailbreak for iOS 8.3. The jailbreak is untethered, meaning it can boot and reboot freely without the assistance of a computer, and installs on any iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad which is running iOS 8.3. Jailbreaking is generally not recommended, instead it’s best reserved for advanced users who understand what a jailbreak entails, and why it may be desirable (or not) for some iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Essentially, jailbreaking iOS is a means of modifying iOS system software so that it can run third party and unauthorized code, which can includes various applications, system tweaks and themes, modif…
