I'm currently jailbroken on an iPhone 5, but am wanting to buy an iPhone 6 at some point. I'm waiting on the jailbreak first, though. It seems like there will be a window to buy an i6 before it is released with an unjailbreakable version i.e. 8.2 and up (assuming the official jailbreak is for 8.1). Should I buy a new iPhone now and just wait for the jailbreak? Or should I wait until the jailbreak is officially released and buy it before Apple releases a new update that isn't compatible with a jailbreak?

I guess if you wait a year there will probably be a stable jailbreak and all the tweaks made compatible by then... of course then the iPhone 2015 will be out and you'll be asking if you should wait for that. LOL. Get the phone if you want the phone. If you want a fully functional jailbreak with most tweaks compatible, keep what you have. You know how it works based on your comments, so you're asking us a question that only you can answer.
