**Good News: You Can Easily Install iOS Jailbreak**
The good news is that you can easily install an iOS jailbreak and circumvent having to upgrade your device by getting these features from Cityia, because most of the time that's where they came from in the first place. Apple loves to take inspiration from the jailbreak and that ties in with my next point as iOS evolves and adopts more and more features we currently use in a jailbreak, jailbreaking becomes less appealing itself.
**The Evolution of Jailbreaking**
So lately, f.lux, which is an app that adjusts the screen's color temperature to reduce eye strain, Apple took it and implemented it into iOS and claims it helps you sleep. Low power modes are also another feature we currently use in a jailbreak. In the past, these features were not available on stock iOS devices, but now they're a part of the standard operating system.
**Jailbreaking and Warranty**
One of the common misconceptions about jailbreaking is that it voids your warranty. What you've heard is true, but it's easily reversible as long as your device is not jailbroken. When you enter the Apple Store for repair or send your device in for service, Apple cannot refuse you service. Jailbreaking in the past does not mean your warranty is voided; it just means that you've taken some steps to customize your device.
**The Pros of Jailbreaking**
Jailbreaking can make your device less stable, especially in the early stages of a jailbreak. They're more prone to bugs and issues like random resprings or restarts. Even having to restore your device is not uncommon. However, no matter what you do, you cannot permanently brick your device. You can always hard restore it using iTunes and dfu mode.
**Safe Mode and Substrate**
It's very important to know how to put your device into safe mode or start it without Cydia substrate running. It's easily done just by turning your device off, holding the volume up button, and then powering it on. If your device isn't turning on or not responding, that's the way to start it.
**Malware Concerns**
Malware has been a concern in the past, especially with iOS jailbreaks. However, there have only been two major cases where a lot of people with a jailbreak have been affected. Fortunately, most of these issues are patched out quickly in Cydia, so it's not something to worry about.
**App Store Restrictions**
There are several apps in the App Store that actually have built-in jailbreak detection. This means that you can either not use the app at all or have restricted usage if your device is jailbroken. The Uber partner app, for example, cannot be used if you're jailbroken, as it's designed to prevent people from using the app while driving.
**The Cost of Jailbreaking**
Now, jailbreaking itself is absolutely free; you should never pay to jailbreak. However, a lot of people get into jailbreaking thinking everything is free. The truth is that the City app store is full of paid tweaks, and in order to get most of the good stuff, you do have to dish out some money.
**Going Back to an Unjailbroken Device**
For many people, trying to go back to an unjailbroken device after spending a lot of time customizing it can be difficult. It's like trying to give up on something that you've become accustomed to. The good news is that if you have had a bad experience with jailbreaking, it's not worth trying again.
**Jailbreak Withdrawal Symptoms**
Losing a jailbreak for whatever reason and then updating your device can cause anxiety or withdrawal symptoms in some people. This can be due to the constant monitoring of every new source for when the next jailbreak is released, only to find out that it was fake. It's like being on edge all the time, waiting for something to happen.
**The Spirit of Jailbreaking**
Finally, jailbreaking itself is a rebellion against Apple's closed ecosystem. When you jailbreak your device, you're essentially going against the grain and flipping the bird to Steve Jobs' idea of a closed system where everything works together without the user having any control or say in it. For me, I don't agree with that approach, but for others, jailbreaking is about freedom and customization.
**Conclusion**
So there you have it - 11 good reasons why people might choose not to jailbreak their iOS devices. While jailbreaking can be a powerful tool for customizing your device, the risks and challenges involved should not be taken lightly. However, with the right knowledge and precautions, jailbreaking can also be a fun and rewarding experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newbie, there's always something to learn from the world of iOS jailbreaking.
