If you have iPhone or if you plan to buy one, then you must have heard terms “jailbreak iPhone“. No, it’s nothing to do with any county jail. It’s just a term to set free your iPhone from any limitations made by iPhone designer, Apple. Apple does this to make it user friendly and safer from any security threats. But one thing remains true, the restriction has made the iPhone software can only do one or two things, while it actually can do thousands of great tasks. So what should we do? Lets take a look at iPhone jailbreaking advantages and disadvantages below.

It is a first step for unlocking your iPhone. On some country, if you want your iPhone so it can be used on any telecommunication provider/ carrier you will need to unlock it, and jailbreaking is the front gate. You can find any tutorials to unlock iPhone 4.3, unlock iPhone 4.2, or other iPhone version on search engine to get the full steps how to do it.

By jailbreaking iPhone you’ll eventually join a great community. You’ll have a bunch of friends who have same vision: they want more from their iPhone and Apple can do nothing about it.

The greatest benefits above all: no restrictions and limitations. You can do anything you want with your device. you can change the boring Apple wallpaper, internet tethering, change the icons as you want. You can only do this if you jailbreak your iPhone.

First of all, jailbreak will void your warranty. If you brick your iPhone after jailbreaking it or experiencing other problems, then you can’t claim your warranty. Just be sure you know what you’re doing whether you are jailbreaking or unlocking the iPhone. You can search any information about unlocking on internet. Some effective and well known software for jailbreak are Limera1n and Redsnow. Again, you can Google with “jailbreak iPhone” keywords to do the jailbreak, as I myself will make it another article.

Jailbreaking will stop you from getting any updates from iTunes. Every time you jailbreak,then Apple will block your device. Then you’ll find a new way to update, you succeed, but then Apple will prevent you and other hackers again, and so on.

Security issues. Some said that jailbreaking your iPhone can brick it, or can invite any viruses. But it only in a few amounts. Just be careful with your jailbreaking process and its jailbreaking software, then you’ll be alright.
