Hello,
I originally updated my Touch to 8.0.2 from iOS 7 because I thought it would make it operate smoother, and it turns out I was completely wrong. Over two years later, I have jailbroken the device, and added some of my own improvements such as disabling the dynamic blur effect that Apple has seemed to become so obsessed with, using Speed Intensifier, and using HideMe8 to disable more effects. I would like to update this device to iOS 9.3.5, however I am hesitant to because there is no jailbreak. I want to stay jailbroken because if there were any tool released, such as Beehind, to downgrade to iOS 6, I would have to have Open SSH installed. As you can probably guess I highly desire returning to iOS 6.
I use the Touch for minimal web browsing, playing music, and playing small games such as Six and Doodle Jump. I also like to fool around with various Cydia tweaks.
My question is that -- despite losing the jailbreak -- will iOS 9.3.5 offer a better user experience than that of the sluggish 8.0.2 firmware, with the performance improvements that I have applied? Also how much more time will pass before someone with the proper knowledge goes out and develops a jailbreak utility? I have read many forums upon this topic and have found no clear answer.
