iTouch/iPhone Jail-Breaking - Why or Why Not?

[Spaceman McConaughey]

Hi, all of you on CP. I made this thread to ask all of you a simple question: Why or Why Not Jail-Break your iTouch or iPhone?

I mean, there are so much benefits from jail-breaking, that's why I did it.

I mean, seriously... Minish Cap on my iTouch? Can I hear a FTW? Oh, another thing, locking of ALL of my apps in SpringBaord. Hehe, I can even leave a incredibly rude message when someone tries to launch an app, it's just amazing.

Themes, VPN, all the works.

So, you heard it from me, CP... what's your opinion?"

I didn't really have anything to do with my iPhone when I jailbroke it, and I kinda wanted to upgrade the software, so I just upgraded it and didn't re-jailbreak it. It wasn't a big deal.

(I could never get Xcode to compile an app for ARM, so I couldn't use it for development, either)

Mine's jailbroken, but more for the custom themes than anything else. I hate how every single iPod looks exactly the same!

Jailbreak it to get osu!-iPhone. And other stuff, of course.

I don't have any of them, but I don't see any big harm in jailbreaking them, especially that you can make it back to the way it was before in the event you need to update your device. o.o

I have only tethered jailbreak on my iPod Touch, but I have no problems. Additional to everything I have with one that isn't jailbroken, I can use custom graphics and themes, I can run apps that wouldn't run otherwise (i.e. a SNES emulator), etc. I personally prefer a jailbroken device, because it gives you more possibilities, but it's up to you.

All of you make very good points. :3
