Jailbreak features
  • First, jailbreak gives you the ability to install applications not from App Store. Over the years there were various sources of third-party applications for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad - Installer, Rock Your Phone, Icy, but have long been the main (and virtually the only) alternative app store is Cydia - Jay Freeman Project (aka Saurik). In Cydia collected thousands of third-party programs, add-ons and tweaks, most of which are free. In Cydia placed those programs that do not fall in the App Store due to Apple strict limits.
  • Secondly, jailbreak allows you to do self-tuning iOS for your own needs. For example, you can turn off background processes to significantly extend the battery life of a gadget, or add dictionaries to iOS to quickly translate words in Safari, iBooks and other programs. Opportunities for additional settings iOS - weight.
  • Thirdly, the jailbreak offers great opportunities to change the interface of iOS. With the help of the Winterboard theme manager, you can choose a completely different style for the system interface - from replacing the dock to completely modifying all system icons, switches and screens.
  • Fourth, jailbreak provides the ability to install pirated applications on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. It is enough to replace a number of iOS system files, and the code signature check is disabled, which allows you to install applications that were not purchased in the App Store. Alas, in the minds of many users jailbreak is associated with piracy, although the jailbreak procedure itself does not mean hacking applications.

The pros and cons of jailbreak
5 reasons to jailbreak
  • New interface
a new space for the iPhone and iPad modification opened in iOS 7. However, to true freedom is still far. Jailbreak allows you to remove all restrictions and transform the user interface of the operating system. Due tweaks from Cydia, you can change the icons, fonts, screen lock, the system menu completely transform the standard appearance of the shell program. The possibilities are almost unlimited, and each user can select a design for iOS to your liking - add elements completely absent skeuomorph or vice versa - to further simplify the interface favorite device.
  • New features
The owners of iOS-devices with jailbreak can establish a new class of programs that are not admitted to the Apple store. official application developers need to adhere to strict rules of the company, so they can not fully unleash the potential of custom iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Would you like to record phone calls? Easily! Include hidden iOS settings? No problem. Maybe remove the ads in Safari or YouTube? Activate the flash? Add true multitasking? To use the launcher? The list is endless.
  • Security enhancement
It is believed that the jailbreak reduces the amount of protection levels used with iOS devices to defend against viruses and hacker attacks. In fact, as paradoxical as it may sound, "crackingВ» iOS, the user can use more powerful tools to protect the operating system. For example, such tweaks as BioProtect or BioLockdown allow you to restrict access to applications and folders with a password or a fingerprint scanner, BiteSMS - limit SMS-messages, and Firewall iP - turn on the firewall device. A tweaks like CleverPin can implement truly intelligent protection system.
  • Remove restrictions
Apple has limited many iOS features. Unlike Mac OS X, the mobile OSes can not install third-party applications, or fine-tune the operating system, such as using the same terminal. Only thanks to jailbreak iPhone and iPad users can transfer by 3G YouTube videos in high quality, use calls FaceTime, panning, filter chamber or Slow Motion mode is not supported devices, "pour" music without iTunes and transfer files between gadgets via Bluetooth. How about to lift restrictions on sending pictures in Mail or WhatsApp? And this is not a complete list of what is available on jailbroken device.
  • New experience
This is an incredible paradox. iOS may be the best mobile platform on the market and at the same time very, very boring. And this is to a certain extent Apple itself to blame. All iPhone and iPad look same type - each the same series icons, the same icons and menus. Jailbroken device more interesting to use, not only from a technical but also from a practical point of view. After all, with fewer restrictions gadget more attractive. How great to connect to your iPhone or iPad joystick PS4 and play a new shooter on the usual buttons, remember the command in a mobile terminal or bust desktop effects in a Barrel? Nobody says that the App Store offers a few games and entertainment applications, but jailbreak - a different kind of fun and a great pleasure. Is not that ultimately produced the iPhone and iPad?
5 reasons against jailbreaking
  • Stability
Jailbreak can lead to malfunctions of iOS 7, as well as regular and third-party applications. Even data loss is possible. Judging by the references to problems with jailbroken devices, such an outcome is indeed possible. However, it should be noted that iOS 7 also works less stable than its predecessor, including on the iPhone 5s and iPad Air. Spontaneous device reboots and crashes of programs, including those adapted for iOS 7 and even full-time (Safari browser) have become much more frequent.
  • Battery life
Apple applications are carefully optimized to minimize battery consumption. Third-party programs and tweaks installed via Cydia on jailbreak devices do not differ in such a caring attitude towards the battery. “Hacked” iPhones and iPads can work fine, but no one can guarantee that some applications will spend the charge “in the background”, leaving the user in the afternoon with a fully discharged gadget.
  • IOS updates
In some cases, unauthorized modifications lead to irreversible changes in the iOS operating system. As a result, when a user puts up-to-date updates on a hacked iPhone or iPad, the gadget may simply stop working. In the latest versions, jailbreak blocks the system of automatic updates, so users of “hacked” iOS devices will not be able to update automatically.
  • Problems with regular functions
Installing the jailbreak may have a negative impact on some of the standard functions of the system. For example, there can be problems with push-notifications used for notifications of new mail, messages, husky etc. Sometimes it even happens that the notice intended for a hacked device, transferred to another. Unstable can start work after breaking i-devices and other system services. In addition, there may be problems with communication. Users may encounter dropped calls, slow or unstable data transmission, as well as incorrect or delayed transmission of location data.
  • Security
Jailbreak reduces the number of levels of protection, use iOS devices to defend against viruses and hacker attacks. Staffing Apple software tested as Apple employees in the process of development and hundreds of millions of people in everyday use, and any "holes" are rapidly becoming known to the public, after which eliminated. Software that is installed after the jailbreak, can contain any malicious code that may be a long time unnoticed. So that the risk of unauthorized access to your data or damage to the device through malicious code after jailbreaking repeatedly increases.

With regard to the question of deprivation of a guarantee, the “hacking” is indeed a violation of the license agreement, since Apple forbids modifying the iPhone and iPad operating system. However, the user, before taking the device to the company, can always restore the factory firmware via iTunes or completely reset the settings through the system menu, returning the gadget to its original state.

Types of jailbreak :
  • Untethered jailbreak (untethered jailbreak) done once and for all, more precisely, until the next flashing of your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Apple TV. Untethered jailbreak is based on such vulnerabilities that allow open access to the file system every time the device is booted without any external intervention.
  • Semi-untethered jailbreakprovides access to the file system of the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad or Apple TV only until the first reboot or power off. The only minus to reboot or power off is the inability to use Cydia and tweaks installed from Cydia. Thus, a semi-associated jailbreak requires re-launching the jailbreak application, which re-uploads the files required for jailbreaking to the device and causes it to load into jailbreak mode during work.
  • Tethered jailbreakprovides access to the iPhone file system, iPod touch, iPad, or Apple TV just before the first reboot or power off. On the next boot device is either not be able to boot up independently or still loaded, but many applications will stop working. Thus, the tethered jailbreak requires connecting the gadget to the computer and re-run the tool to jailbreak, which will re-fills into the device files required to jailbreak and causes it to boot normally.No longer relevant!
  • Semi-tethered jailbreakprovides access to the iPhone file system, iPod touch, iPad, or Apple TV just before the first reboot or power off. This type of jailbreak allows you to reboot the device without connecting to your PC. The only disadvantage of a reboot or power failure - the inability to use Cydia and installed from Cydia tweaks. Thus, semipegged jailbreak requires connecting the gadget to the computer and re-run the tool to jailbreak, which will re-fills into the device required for the jailbreak files and causes it to boot into the operating mode for the jailbreak.
