After seeing all the fancy pictures of what people can do with a jailbroken iPhone gets you thinking " Should I commit to the jailbreak?" "Is it a good idea to jailbreak your phone?". Well here is the low down. By jailbreaking your iPhone, you have the ability to access files that usually would be completely out of reach from you. Your ability to reach these files gives you the opportunity to express your individuality as a iOS user.
Oh , you want a batman symbol instead of your carrier's name? Jailbreak has a tool for that.
Oh, you want different types of icons for your app? Jailbreak has a tool for that.
It can open you up to so many different things that will enhance your iPhone experience. There is a whole community of people that contribute to the tool development for jailbreaking. It's actually honestly pretty cool what you can do with a jailbroken phone.
This question always comes up though... Is jailbreaking legal?
As of right now , yes , it is legal as long as you don't use it to unlock your phone to different carriers. So , change all the things that you want to change * insert all the things meme* and go crazy. Just stay clear of unlocking different carriers because that's when things become illegal.
Next most common question. Can I brick my phone?
*To brick - to render unusable making your iPhone become a very expensive paper weight*
I haven't heard of anyone bricking their phone from jailbreaking but I could be wrong. I am pretty sure that you are good to go as long as you back up your phone before you start the transformation. But don't quote me on that because I am not 100% sure.
Overall , it's a great way to express yourself while still having an iPhone. But there are alot of risks that come with it that may not be worth the trouble of actually jailbreaking your phone. So , it is totally up to you!!!
I have been looking into the whole jailbreaking scene ever since seeing this reddit post in r/jailbreak : here
It's just so pretty!! and the add on's are rad. Like the whole flux thing , that's just awesome.
Lemme know if you've jailbroke your phone and if you like it or not.
