The question “whether to jailbreak your iPhone/iPad/iPod or not ?” has been around since the first jailbreaking tool was released. So, i thought why not tell everyone the pros and cons of jailbreaking your IOS device.

We shall start with the Negative aspect as the list is very short. Though, jailbreaking is not illegal in any country, it has always been advised not to jailbreak your device unless you have the basic knowledge required to handle the problems caused by it.

  1. The first problem that you can face is springboard crashing while doing some work. Though, this problem is not at all harmful for your phone but it can be very annoying.
  2. The second problem faced can be slowing down of your device. This problem is hardly noticeable in iPhone 5, 5s, iPad 4,5 but can be very annoying in iPhone 4, 4s, iPad 1,2,3.
  3. The biggest problem that can be faced is when your phone is left unusable (bricked), due to lack of knowledge and using to many tweaks or modifications. But the chances of this happening is one in a million.

Now we shall move towards the Positive aspect of jailbreaking.

  1. The biggest advantage of jailbreaking is that it makes your phone free for modifications like themes, new shortcuts, single application locking, etc.
  2. Jailbreaking also enables the user to install paid apps for free for sometime to try them before buying them.
  3. Jailbreaking can also enable you to buy in-app items for free for most of the games and applications.
  4. There are various other tweaks which enable, changing the complete appearance of your Ios device.
  5. This last point is the biggest advantage of jailbreaking and i think almost 99% of Ios device users will agree with me as by Jailbreaking you can enable Bluetooth transfer of Songs, pictures, etc from iPhone to any other blackberry or android device. Yes you read right, you can send and receive all sorts of media from your iPhone to almost every other device.

 

So, as we can see there are both negative and positive aspects of jailbreaking your device but positive aspect over shadows the negative aspect for me personally.
