We mentioned before that The jailbreak is over. Apple added most of the basic features that were being jailbroken for. The security scores in operating systems and devices have increased so dramatically that throwing all of this to waste with jailbreaking may seem unconvincing. So, large-scale jailbreak development has already stopped. But it is slowly starting to come back. Then this was a new generation version that works on the latest devices and iOS 13.5 system. So whether you feel nostalgic for the jailbreak past or want to experiment for the first time, find out why it works in 2020 and why we don't like it.
File browsing system
Apple has been updating the Files browser program periodically recently. Especially as it wants to move the iPad to a higher category in which the user uses it as a regular computer in addition to its features as a tablet. But Apple's developments still do not satisfy amateurs of full computer browsers. Hence, jailbreak tools appeared to make the file browsing system more complex and familiar. And perhaps obtaining greater permissions to browse files within applications and system files for those who want to do so and have sufficient experience so as not to cause damage to system files.
Modify applications
You might think that jailbreaking is only useful for modifying iOS. But in fact, you can use it to modify apps from other developers such as WhatsApp and YouTube. You can use tools like Youtube Reborn to add new features to the YouTube app if you feel its updates are slow.
iCleaner Pro
Yes, this program itself is one of the temptations in the jailbreak. Of course, we all know those files that accumulate inside various applications, and we do not know what they are useful for or how to delete them. With time, you see that you are running out of space because of it.
This program has been over the ages the best solution to get rid of those files and empty large areas in the memory of the iPhone.
Update an old device
Perhaps you are the owners of the iPhone 6 or 5s and you want features such as Dark Mode or even changes in the system’s work to make the swipe gestures to move around the device, such as those in the iPhone X and subsequent devices with full screens. You can do all of this with the tools you download.
The rest is the little things
Of course the former is not a complete list. The additions do not expire. However, they are some of the most prominent additions that may tempt you to break the restriction. As for the rest of the benefits, it may include changing some shapes and (themes) and playing with screen elements. Perhaps downloading programs that Apple does not allow, or even stealing paid programs (this is forbidden, of course, because it is more harm than good). All trivialities may be desirable at times. But is it worth the risk?
Updates stopped
Of course, when you move to the world of jailbreaking, you are largely blocking future updates. Whereas, updates are not recommended because Apple usually fixes the jailbreak vulnerabilities. Also, the update itself is tiresome and you may have to wipe all the contents of your device in order to do it.
Even if you own one of the devices that have stopped major updates, such as the iPhone 6 and 5s, do not forget that Apple sometimes sends additional updates to update security or solve problems. The latest of these updates was 12.4.7 a while ago and 10.3.4 and 9.3.6 for older devices as well. All these updates have been released in 2019 and 2020.
Give up warranty ... and safety
Do not forget that jailbreaking your device exposes you to losing Apple's warranty, along with any repairs made through the company. Jailbreaking also means breaking the chains, so it means breaking down the walls. There are no guarantees that the app or tool you download will not sabotage your device or steal your data. If you fear things like cloud storage security, you should be terrified of just the idea of breaking the restrictions and downloading unattended and uncontrolled software.
Of course, you can restore it before you go to Apple stores; Also, you may be in a country that issued a decision that the jailbreak does not lose the guarantee. But what is the reason behind all these things!
the performance? Not guaranteed
Of course, an iPhone user buys his device with a guarantee of getting the best possible performance. As for the jailbreak, there are no guarantees that come with the applications. Everything from the standalone apps to the entire system can suddenly collapse. Especially if you do not have enough experience to know the most reliable tools. Or, to ensure that they do not contradict each other and lead to the breakdown of the system every hour.
From sudden crashes to slow apps, you might have to endure a lot of lags on your smooth device.
Business risk and loss of data
Many people now use the iPhone and iPad for more than just entertainment and communication. It is now used in business and keeping important files a lot. Imagine if you keep a lot of work or university files and then lose them due to a security problem or having to wipe the data of the device after its collapse?
I wouldn't be happy with this and most likely it wouldn't be you.
the battery
Mostly one or two of the little gadgets won't waste a device's battery. Usually, however, many gadgets are wasting the battery severely. The accumulation of many tools also has the same effect.
Detect theft
This is one of the most important aspects that many users of programs and applications in general neglect in the Arab world, unfortunately. But after the jailbreak, it is very easy to fall into theft. First, it is religiously prohibited, and secondly, it is legally criminal.
And theft is not just limited to downloading (cracked) apps. In fact, the most popular and stable Cydia tools are paid tools. But as usual, others steal it and upload it back to the same store. You download it for free, but the reality is that you have downloaded a stolen program and are using it daily.
Is it worth?
These were the main advantages of breaking the restriction in 2020. The risks were also mentioned. Do you think the benefits are sufficient to bear the risks? And remember, iOS 14 is on the way and it will already have a lot of features that you might jailbreak for. Also, the official updates come with performance improvements and features that do not come with jailbreak tools. Will you break the restriction and prevent yourself from the update, the details of which will be announced soon?
