Apple releases iOS 9.3.4 for iPhone and iPad, calls it an 'important' security fix
In what could be the last update to the iOS 9 software cycle, Apple on Thursday released iOS 9.3.4 to the public, calling it an "important security update" that all users should install.
"iOS 9.3.4 provides an important security update for your iPhone or iPad and is recommended for all users," the release notes read. It's available through Software Update in the iOS Settings app, or by connecting via USB to iTunes on a Mac or PC.
The new release comes just a few weeks after iOS 9.3.3 was issued publicly. Unlike with that update, there were no betas of iOS 9.3.4 before it launched.
Apple is set to release its next major platform update, iOS 10, this fall, likely in September. It includes major notification improvements, third-party app support for Siri voice prompts, and upgrades to native apps including Messages, Maps and Photos.

CVE-2016-4654: Team Pangu
More like Apple took a look at the Pangu jailbreak and said "Well lookie here. This is how they got in." Of course this patch broke the jailbreak. Duh! I still think jailbreakers are morons but the jailbreak developers, ah, they are actually helping Apple by finding the holes. Someday they will develop themselves right out of business.
If you wish, you are more than welcome to post all your personal and private information here (including banking details, passwords, etc...) and we can arrange for somebody to rip you off at some point in the near future.
I jailbreak for 3G unrestriction as Apple want to limit the size of apps that I download.
Tethering.
MovieBox so I can watch a few US TV shows that aren't shown over here (I buy the DVDs when they are available).
I don't see how that would make me a moron as the only other option is using an Android device which would make me a moron.
