Infographic: what is jailbreak and what is it for?

What is jailbreak

Although the jailbreak has been with us since the existence of the first iPhone In 2007, there are still users who are not quite clear about what the jailbreak consists of, associating it with terms such as piracy or illegal in the wrong way. It is also common to hear that jailbreaking puts our device at risk or voids the warranty of the iPhone or iPad on which it is applied.

For fans of the world of jailbreak, you already know that all of the above is a lie But thanks to an infographic, it is now clearer to us what jailbreak is and what it is for. Since the infographic is in English, I have decided to divide it into parts and translate them to make it easier for everyone to understand.

What is the jailbreak? What do you get with it?

What is jailbreak

The jailbreak is an awesome way to upgrade your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

If you jailbreak your device you will have access to Cydia, a store from which you can download tweaks, utilities and visual themes. Tweaks are tools that add improvements to the iOS operating system. Visual themes allow you to modify the appearance of your device, allowing you to customize it to your liking.

Of course, jailbreaking also provides another interesting collection of improvements added.

It allows you to transform this ... into this other.

Visual themes with jailbreak

And that is only the beginning. If you install the jailbreak and acquire the necessary knowledge, you will be able to customize the aesthetics of iOS 8 to the millimeter and add an endless list of improvements that will make your iPhone or iPad a much more complete device and most importantly, thinking about your needs.

There is a tweak for that

Cydia Tweaks

If something good has the jailbreak is the huge developer community willing to give us what Apple does not allow as standard. It does not matter if you want to make your wallpaper change daily, if you want to deactivate the control center, if you want greater control over the icons of your applications, if you want to use your iPhone in a horizontal position, if you want to use custom gestures to execute actions concrete… if you are looking for something in particular, in Cydia you will almost certainly find it.

If in the App Store we have an application for everything, in Cydia we also have tweaks for practically everything you can imagine.

Concept errors

Concept errors with the jailbreak

We have said by active and passive that jailbreak is not synonymous with piracyWhat's more, many people continue to buy applications from the App Store because they value the work of the developers behind them. The funny thing is that those who do not want to pay for applications, do not pay for Cydia tweaks and that in the end has created a bad image, even so, if you jailbreak your device you do not contribute to piracy.

Another very common thing is to hear that jailbreak is unsafe and affects the stability of the device. At this point it is important that we are aware of the tweaks that we install, of their origin (how many people have repositories of doubtful origin to download tweaks and apps without paying?), Etc. Common sense is the best ally in these cases and if something goes wrong, you can always activate the safe mode to eliminate that tweak that has given you problems after its installation.

The jailbreak is permanent and invalidates the warranty. This is another of the mythical phrases that has always been related to this world and both statements are negative. The jailbreak can be completely removed with a simple device restore and does not leave any traces, therefore Apple will not be able to invalidate our warranty as it has no methods of detecting whether we have jailbroken or not.

Is the jailbreak worth it?

It's worth the jailbreak

If you are one of those who values ​​everything mentioned above, then without a doubt you will believe worth jailbreaking.

If you are new to this world and you don't really know where to start, the first thing you have to do is download Pangu tool and from there, consult the list with some of the best tweaks currently available. Hurry because iOS 8.1.1 will close the doors to jailbreak and we do not know when we will have a new opportunity to apply it to our devices.

En Actualidad iPhone We will also be in charge of bringing you, day after day, the latest news related to jailbreak and the tweaks that appear in Cydia.

    I was able to verify one of the lies, I jailbroken my device, and several months later it was damaged, it is an ipad 2, I went to ishok in Colombia and they changed it, and I had jailbreak, the software modification with customization destinations or another that does not include redistribution is not illegal, therefore it cannot override anything, other than the restrictions that make ios a less useful system.

    I think the first thing is to make it clear that jailbreak is not synonymous with piracy.
    The use that everyone wants is at their own risk.

    They could already specify what thesis they have used to leave the iphone specifically like the photos in the post. That alone would help me.

    I find it very interesting and the good thing is that if it is permanent, you just have to prescribe the iPhone to use it eliminates the jailbreak and you can do what I've always wanted. That the wallpaper can be dynamic
