Apple iOS System Software apple-ios-logo

In Mac’s OS, the operating system used in iMac, MacBookPro, Mac Mini and Mac Pro, can be tinkered with in a variety of ways. But in Mac’s iOS, the operating system in the iPhone, iPad, iPodTouch, and AppleTV, tinkering is restricted. APPLE iOS JAIL BREAKING For multi millions of iPhone users, the iPhone is wonderful just as it is. But for other users it isn’t. Too each his own.

APPLE iOS JAIL BREAKING

APPLE iOS JAIL BREAKING. If you don’t want your iPhone taken control of by a bad guy, then don’t jailbreak your iPhone. When you use jailbreak software, you are removing the Apple software file restrictions.  Then the jailbreak allows access to the otherwise protected root and File Manager of the software files. That protection removal makes the phone very susceptible for exploration by that jailbreak software and other unapproved malicious Apps. They can and will steal your personal data.

Why Would You Want To Risk Jailbreaking Your iOS Device

Some iPhone users want to use smart phone Apps that are not Apple approved and not Apple App Store available, to make customizations to their phone. If you jailbreak your iPhone, you can install those unapproved Apps. Many, but now all of those unapproved Apps are virus threats and malware exploitations. And some are just very buggy.  For instance, after jail breaking, you could use a particular unapproved App for gaming fun for another desired feature. But in the case of the malicious Apps, in the background that unapproved App is doing bad things on your phone. It’s much like the principle of how a Trojan operates.  You do know the story of the Trojan horse, right?

http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/ios-warranty-document-us.html Apple’s official positon on jail breaking an iOS device is that you void your warranty. Suppose you’ve jail broken your iPhone, iPad or iPodTouch and the wireless stops working due to a hardware issue. If you take the jail broken device to the Apple Store Genius Bar to have the wireless hardware problem resolved, they won’t help you.  Some people have restored a jail broken iOS device to Apple’s Factory Settings successfully and some have not. So there is compounded risk in jail breaking an Apple iOS device.  If you want more than what an Apple iOS device offers, buy a Android phone, but they have lots of problems. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5974243?tstart=0
