They are extensions, additions, or adjustments to already-installed applications, and to the operating system itself. Thanks to the jailbreak community, there are many jailbreak tweaks that completely change the way your device looks, whether it be changing icons, hiding icon names, adding more than four applications to the dock, customizing dark mode, or applying an entire theme, sounds and all. If you value function over aesthetics, jailbreaking can cater to you too.
Functionality tweaks, which bring subtle improvements to the way the device operates, are also popular. Swiping across the keyboard to move the text cursor rather than fiddling with the magnifying glass, setting your phone to perform complex events in response to certain button combinations, turning off read receipts in third-party messengers, installing apps from unknown sources, connecting wirelessly to other devices via SSH, displaying Wi-Fi channel and strength information, the list goes on and on.
There was a time, prior to , when jailbreaking was implied to be illegal by the US government, due to its relevance in breach of copyright litigation. However, for many years now the government has periodically upheld the status of jailbreaking as explicitly legal , and exempted it from broader issues of copyright law. However , any crimes you commit on the device remain illegal. Stick to using your jailbreak to set up your device the way you want it, not to steal.
Yes and no. Yes, because if you go to the Apple store with a jailbroken device in order to receive support, repair or service, you will be refused provided they notice. Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks the iOS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of the iOS is a violation of the iPhone end-user license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.
If you have to take your device to an Apple store, just restore it to its factory settings beforehand. This completely removes all traces of having jailbroken, and the stock device will then be accepted by Apple under warranty. There will be no way of knowing you jailbroke it.
You may have heard a few horror stories about people who tried to jailbreak their iPhone or iPad and ended up turning it into a paperweight. Although this may have happened in the very early days of the iPhone, it is now so difficult as to be impossible for any average user.
These stories are nearly always a badly-timed hardware issue happening to a first-timer, and what they are describing is something like their phone screen dying instead. The worst thing that could happen when initially trying to jailbreak the device is it becoming unresponsive, which is normally fixed by a hard reset. Even total filesystem corruption can be fixed with a factory restore.
Once jailbroken, the only dangers come from installing incompatible tweaks, or downloading something unsafe. Following these simple steps will make sure your iPhone or iPad goes back to its original state. Try to avoid this unless absolutely necessary, as it will update your phone, and wipe all user data stored on it.
It will also result in losing your jailbreak, unless and until one is released for the newly-updated firmware. No, jailbreaking and unlocking are two different things. In the early days of iPhone, jailbreaking would often allow you to unlock your iPhone too, but that is now rarely the case.
As noted previously, jailbreaking an iPhone lets you install third-party applications and mods, while unlocking allows you to use your iPhone on a different carrier. There are occasional exceptions to this rule, as well as tweaks which can change some cellular behaviours such as tethering and MMS, but in general they are unrelated. Yes, you can use iTunes and App Store after jailbreaking your device. As a matter of fact, nothing will really change. The only small annoyance is that some App Store apps, such as banking apps, include jailbreak detection which prevents them running when jailbroken.
This can be circumvented for most apps with a tweak. The most notable change to your device will be that, after jailbreaking, you will have a new application installed, like Cydia. In short, Cydia is a package manager: an app which allows you to browse, install, and remove your jailbreak apps and tweaks.
You can think of it as the App Store, but for jailbreak applications. Most apps and tweaks on Cydia are free, but it is not unusual for a more complex jailbreak offering to cost a few dollars. Whilst Cydia is the oldest and most well-known package manager, alternative package managers also exist.
