Most iPhone users worldwide still have their iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch on stock firmware. But many ofย those folks don’t know how much they’re missing out and not running their device to its fullย potential. The main reason that iOS device users should jailbreak is because you can do whatever you want with your device.
When you jailbreak your iPhone, you can access thousands of tweaks, apps, and themes on the iPhone’s unofficial app store, Cydia. Additionally, you can unlock your device without having to wait for your carrier to do it.
But here is why most people jailbreak and the best things about jailbreaking your device that will catch yourย attention and make you jailbreak your device.
Unlock your iPhone, use it on any other GSM network
If AT&T has bad coverage around your area, then jailbreaking should be your best friend. If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you can unlock it and use it on any other GSM network, including T-Mobile USA and Simple Mobile, with tools available to jailbroken devices only.
Customizeย the device home screen
With a jailbroken device, you can customize your iPhone or iPad home screen however you wish. You can change the font, icons, and anything you want to replace to make it look better.
For example, in the image below, you can see how the springboard looks differently after adding a theme with a famous jailbreak application called WinterBoard.
Hundreds of tweaks for anything you need
After jailbreaking a device, you will findย anythingย you need for your device. You will see things never seen before in the App Store. For example, if you don’t like the App Store asking for your password every time you update or download an app, there’s a tweak called PasswordPilot that prevents this from happening. That’s just one of the many things you can do with a jailbroken device.
Thousands of unofficial/powerful apps
The unofficial App Store called Cydia, for jailbroken devices, has all the amazing apps you will never find in the official App Store.
Apple has a strict policy for iOS developers when it comes to accepting apps for the official App Store; all apps must be suitable for two-year-old girls before being accepted into the App Store, so rejected applications end up in the unofficial Cydia App Store.
So, the best apps for strong and grown iPhoneย users are in Cydia. You can find many valuable apps such as AnyRing, which allows you to set any song from the iPod library as your ringtone, email, or SMS tone, or YouTube 2 to download YouTube videos directly on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
Tell Apple that you pay taxes, ย monthlyย bill, and the price of the device
Apple doesn’t like peopleย jailbreakingย their iOS device – a device you pay for with your money. Heck, they won’t even fix your device if you take it to an Apple Store to fix it, and they find out it isย jailbroken.
But that’s not a problem because you can remove the jailbreak with just one click if you’re taking it to get it fixed at your local Apple Store.
Jailbreakingย is theย easiestย thing ever, with no risks
You don’t have to be a geek or a Linux user to jailbreak your device. Many tools available will easily jailbreak your device in less than a minute.
If you’re interested in jailbreaking your device, you must go to JailbreakME.com on your device’s browser and follow the easy instructions if you have the appropriate firmware.
If you believe you have messed up your device while jailbreaking, no youย didn’t, all you have to do is restore your iPhone using iTunes and it will be as it was before.
