A small update of the latest iOS software on Tuesday, for a moment, sent jail breakers into a frenzy to try to keep the Apple devices as accessible as possible. However, the technology giant, which usually safeguards its operating systems by creating updates that protect it from such vulnerabilities, instead left all remaining loopholes and code exploits open.

The specific update focused on one issue in iOS 8, particularly Apple's ability to restore and continue earning money for ringtone purchases made from the iTunes store. Despite a growing laundry list of bugs and other issues that still plague the latest iOS, it's an interesting move for Apple to only address this minute detail.

"As such iOS 8.1.2 isn't the major fix users still plagued by ongoing iOS 8 problems vevve been hoping for," Forbes' writer Gordon Kelly said Tuesday on the release of the update. "iOS 8.1.1 released in November fixed bugs for many users, but swathes of users remain affected by issues ranging from crippled WiFi (a main support thread for this is now over 93 pages long0, Bluetooth bugs stopping connection to headsets and car kits and chronic battery drain. In this context Apple's decision to address a ringtones bug first will no doubt cause anger, regardless of whether it is low hanging fruit."

Normally, jailbreaks have been handled by companies through closing exploitations with the next update. However, jailbreak version of iOS 8.1 and its subsequent and frequent changes have left hackers scrambling to keep up.

iOS 8.2, which will accommodate the new Apple Watch products and make other iPhone and iPad product compatible, is definitely in the pipeline. However, there is no official word on when this version will be released, but analysts expect a February update.

There's no telling if Apple is waiting until this next major bump to address the more significant issues like wi-fi connectivity, power drain, Bluetooth compatibility and others troubling 8.1.
