This release includes bug fixes, increased stability and performance improvements for iPad 2 and iPhone 4s.
iOS 8.1.1 is compatible with the following iOS devices:

iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, iPad 2, iPad (third-generation), iPad (fourth-generation), iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display

Jailbreakers should avoid upgrading to iOS 8.1.1 as it kills the Pangu iOS 8.0.x-iOS 8.1 jailbreak. Apple seems to have fixed at least one exploit used by the Pangu jailbreak, so you won’t be able to jailbreak your device using Pangu after upgrading to iOS 8.1.1.
If you don’t care about jailbreaking, then the update is available as an OTA download for these devices currently. The OTA update is 64.7 MB for iPhone 6 Plus.
If you’re not getting the OTA update, then you can download the iOS 8.1.1 ipsw (firmware file) using the direct download links provided below. If you need help then check out our guide, which shows you how to install the iOS 8.1.1 update on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
