What Is Jailbreak Software and How Can it Improve Your Iphone?

By Tristan Clark


First Off:

You've bought a brand new iPhone, and you've discovered all of the amazing apps from Apples App Store. What's all of the hubbub about jailbreak software? With so much built in functionality, why would you want to unlock your phone? What are the benefits? With this article, I'll be telling you about some of the most awesome reasons for why you should jailbreak your mobile device.

What's Wrong With the App Store?

Basically, Apple's restrictions on apps for the App Store are too limiting. The apps that you can get outside of the App store from places like Cydia are sometimes superior, since they break at least one of Apple's rules. Those rules are only in place to keep the iPhone under Apple's heavy handed control.

There are myriad rules that Apple puts on the App Store: No modding system files, you can't install apps that run in the background, apps have to stay in the sandbox, etc. Apple doesn't want you doing certain things that take away their control. These rules are all for their benefit - not yours.

Are There Any Risks? Not Really:

Jailbreaking is not unlocking! It is risk free and totally legal. Everything that works before jailbreaking continues to work after. Jailbreaking only adds features. Jailbreaking is risk free and cannot void your warranty. You can simply restore in iTunes at anytime to get back to a factory state. You are not alone, many people are doing it. There are over 10 million jailbroken devices now! For understanding of jailbreak vs unlock read my terminology post.

What are the benefits?

You'll be amazed at what you can do. For starters, you can customize the entire OS as though it were a skin. You can do SMS Quick Replies. Help police track your phone using a PC if it's ever stolen. If you do a full unlock, you can use it on any carrier you want - you're no longer beholden to AT&T! You can download through Cydia. You might ask yourself what you Can't do with a phone that's been jailbroken!?!

How To:

The first thing to do is to get on Google and look for a reputable jailbreak software package to help you to jailbreak automatically. Only you can choose the one that will work best for your situation, but I recommend using one that integrates the pwnage hack, depending on your IOS.
