Apple’s battle with the jailbreak appeared since the appearance of the first iPhone. Several days after the release of the first iPhone, the jailbreak appeared, and until now Apple has not reached a radical solution to the “jailbreak”. Perhaps the restrictions that Apple puts in its devices have made jailbreak a legal thing in countries that are concerned with crimes and cyber rights, such as America, Britain, Canada, Australia, and others ...
Although the jailbreak is legal, your doing it may void the device’s warranty. One of the conditions for Apple’s warranty is that the jailbreak will not work, and once the device’s operating system is modified, this will cancel the warranty. This is what Apple added in text and strong words in the terms and conditions in its retail stores.
"Making unauthorized modifications to the software on an iPhone violates the iPhone software license agreement. The common term for modifying an iPhone is jail-breaking, with a particular emphasis on the second part of that term. That's why we strongly, almost emphatically, recommend that you do not do so. Really. Should you be unable to use your iPhone due to an unauthorized software modification, its repair will not be covered under the warranty."
If your device crashes and you have a jailbreak, you must first remove the jailbreak by re-storing the device before you think about going to Apple.
For example, if we assume that you have encountered a problem with the battery, you will have to go to one of the Apple branches - abroad - and the first thing that the maintenance department will do is to make sure that there is a jailbreak on the device or not. If any, the maintenance department will refuse to repair your device, even if it is within the warranty period.
Why doesn't Apple want us to jailbreak?
The iOS system is designed on the basis of protection and stability, so the jailbreak does the opposite of that. If you are thinking about doing the jailbreak, the iPhone Islam team advises you to cancel the idea because the jailbreak will reduce the stability of the operating system, weak protection and security, will reduce battery life, reduce the speed of data transfer such as LTE, and the many other problems that will start in the operating system and end up in the hardware of the device.
Jailbreak between past and present
When the jailbreak appeared in the past, it supported important features that Apple does not provide in its devices, such as the Hotspot feature, as well as the control center and the quick response to messages, and this is what convinced iOS users to modify the system, but then Apple provided those advantages to all its users so as not to give others the opportunity to allow Benefits for its users and access to their devices, Apple provided those advantages to its users and gave them the opportunity to obtain them only if they update their devices.
After Apple changed a lot in its system, especially iOS 7, and provided most of the features that were required by Apple users, such as the Control Center, nothing left for the jailbreak developers except for the appearance advantages such as changing the control panel and predicting words, so Apple took the necessary steps towards these advantages, as it announced in WWDC 14 that it will provide these advantages in iOS 8 Indeed, Apple added great features and it was a big thing for design lovers who don't like their device to stay the same every day.
Cydia now still has a lot of tools, but most of them are concentrated in developing and improving current features or opening them more than what Apple puts it and not adding features from scratch as before
The competition
Apple benefits from the jailbreak and we previously discussed this matter years ago in an article - Apple and the jailbreak are friends or enemies - it is known that Apple transferred dozens of features from Cydia, and this may make us think that it is logical to make it available in order to transfer more of its ideas and advantages, but the truth is that the jailbreak is for him Another serious flaw is that it is a competitor to Apple. Apple is famous for being the only one in control, it is the one who decides who works on its system and who does not work, Cydia breaks this matter and gives capabilities to the user that he does not want, but more than that enables some to steal applications sold in the Apple Store and thus Apple loses its share in the sale and also the developer loses and his income decreases Thus, it may reduce its applications. That is, Cydia raises the ambitions of the user and makes him dissatisfied with Apple updates and sees these advantages as old and deals with them through Cydia for years, and also loses millions of dollars by pirated applications.
Conclusion:
Cydia, Apple's archenemy, even though it benefits from it, but it causes a loss to the company financially and also raises the aspirations of users and makes the device less secure, privacy, as well as speed, and thus he may think about moving to Android because he will feel from inside that the Apple system is slow and thus take a bad impression about Apple and its devices that may push him To consider moving to other systems.
