iPhone 4S Jailbreaking Rant

In this video, I go over why I tried out the jailbreak and more importantly, why I'm back on official iOS already.

You talk about the information that can be leaked by Jailbreaking and using tweaks and themes but that goes for anything.The hackintosh you build may have security flaws.You don't know who edited the OS.Jailbreaking is not bad,it's partly reverse engineering!

[cpukid00]

@Aton1xiDevice Jailbreaking modifies the OS, whereas a hackintosh simply uses a bootlaoder that allows it to boot. The OS isn't modified at all. In fact, it's installed right from the DVD or App Store image that Apple provides. There's a huge different between a hackintosh and jailbreaking.

Best video I have seen on the subject of Jailbreaking. Agreed on all points. If someone wants to got that route I think what the really want is an android device that looks like an iPhone.

@dragonballjiujitsu Exactly! I'm glad you see things the way that I do. Thanks for watching!

Also, I've jailbroken my cousin's iphone 4s three days ago and she just bought it. And it's running perfectly fine. Like I said, jailbreaking won't crash your iDevice, at least I haven't come across this issue yet :)

Just to be clear, I have never experienced a random kernel panic or springboard crash and have not had a single problem with the iPhone 4S jailbreak, except for the simple fact of some tweaks and apps just not being build for iOS 5. thats my take on that

@ImTheSeekr not illegal, apple took it to court and lost so it is legal but apple took another measure and that was to make jailbreaking void ur warranty. so not illegal but voids ur warranty with apple.

Um.. Jailbroken, biggest bugger/lagger/springboard crasher is winterboard, when its not installed everything is fine.

@musclemoney1991... not if u hadn't payed your loan fully ;) then it's still the bank's house xD

[Aton1xiDevice]

@cpukid00 Usually,those who are new to Jailbreaking have issues.Anything that is released for the first time has bugs and you should be more concerned with Social networks like FaceBook tracking you then a mod that a developer put in a theme or tweak to steal information.BTW..Saurik,Owner of Cydia,pays hundreds of thousands to run the servers everyone uses for free,so its neccessary that some people charge for the work.Most tweaks and themes are cheap.You're referring 2 high-end mods.

@ImTheSeekr actually if i bought a house i could do anything to it, if i wanted to set it on fire I could or take a hammer to every window I could or take a shit on the kitchen floor I could and nobody could do a dam thing about it, and if someone attacked me or broke into my house I trashed I could shoot them.

[ImTheSeekr]

@aczajka74 true... but still, i'd much rather not jailbreak an iOS device, if i ever got one, they're too expensive, and that might ruin it, and I already got my first warning from my ISP about infringing copyright. Stupid SOPA

[aczajka74]

@ImTheSeekr Oh I'm sorry you can modify anything that you purchase as long as it doesn't physically harm anybody, jail breaking doesn't physically harm anyone

[ImTheSeekr]

@aczajka74 there is one flaw in what u are saying 1) u CANT modify anything u own... its illegal to modify a cap gun to shoot real bullets... shitty example, but u get it.
