The vast majority of those who are reading this article know what the jailbreak, basically a software-level process that "opens" our device Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and it allows us to install lots of tweaks (little programs) with which to customize our device and be able to execute functions and features not yet implemented by the Cupertino company. With the jailbreak, as with Apple There are no half measures, you love it or you hate it, what can you do? But nothing in life is totally white or totally black and that is why today we will see 5 reasons in favor and 5 reasons in against so that you go thinking whether to do or not to do Jailbreak iOS 8.3 which could be released later this month.

5 reasons in favor of jailbreak

Let's be optimistic, let's start with the positive. Do Jailbreak your iPhone or iPad will bring you great benefits.

1. Accessories. With jailbreak  In your iDevice you can use non-original accessories but perhaps the best of all is that you can connect it to other devices in an unthinkable way without this procedure. For example, you can use your iPhone as a PlayStation controller or make the Xiaomi Mi Band 100% compatible.
2. New functions and features. Over the years Apple has implemented many features of the Jailbreak; Perhaps the most striking example is the "Control Center." But with jailbreak You will no longer have to wait to enjoy functions like "Eclipse", a tweak in Cydia that integrates night mode on your iPhone, or multitasking, or new gestures, etc.
3. Personalize your iPhone. It has always been one of the most criticized aspects of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, the few possibilities it offers for each user to personalize their devices. With jailbreak you can do practically everything you want thanks to hundreds and hundreds of tweaks with which to customize fonts, icons, complete themes for your devices, you can create folders within folders, place more than four icons on the dock, and a long etcetera of possibilities .
4. Goodbye to imposed limits! Thanks to jailbreak You can also overcome limitations imposed by the company itself, such as viewing high-resolution videos away from home, 3G FaceTime calls if your iOS is prior to 7 or taking panoramic photos on iPhone models where the system does not allow it, among many others.
5. Some security improvements. In direct opposition to the point that we will see in the next section, the jailbreak It also provides greater security options to your iPhone, protecting access and our data. As an example, BioProtect or BioLockdown for iPhone 5S.

5 reasons against jailbreak

1. Loss of stability. The ones we've ever done jailbreak we know the continuous reboots, errors, unexpected closings of apps, the sudden entry into safe mode ... Usually it is due to specific tweaks or their incompatibility with others that we have previously installed so their elimination is the best solution but of course, when the problem takes in becoming known, what is the tweak that causes it? A good measure against this is not to install like crazy, if not only what you need.
2. Loss of security. If on the one hand the jailbreak it can make our device more inaccessible to thieves or snoopers, on the other hand, are we fully certain of the reliability of the tweaks we install? Can we blindly trust these developers?
3. Loss of warranty. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), does not approve of jailbreak therefore, its installation implies the automatic loss of warranty Although, if you can erase all traces before going to Apple you will have no problem.
4. The evolution of iOS. iOS 8 marked a before and after, its functions and features multiplied and, with iOS 9, that we are already testing Applelizados editors, you will freak out! Do you really need to do jailbreak? Maybe yes because just what you need has not been implemented by Apple yet, but think about it before.
5. Free Apps? No, those times are over. The community itself jailbreak he was never in favor, he always denied that jailbreak was synonymous with hacking and, with the disappearance of Installous, the bargain was almost over. It is true that there are some solutions but they are far from what Installous was

Information is power, and now that you know, at least, the 5 essential points both for and counter of the jailbreak, you are in a better position to make the right decision for yourself.
