2 Jailbreaking It

While it’s often a criticism levied at the company and its platform, Apple’s iOS operating system is a walled garden for a reason. Say what you want about customization or the apps you can get with a jailbroken phone, but for the vast majority of users, jailbreaking just isn’t worth it.

Jailbreaking your device removes its security features and leaves it vulnerable to all kinds of malware and malicious apps that could steal your sensitive data — or worse. More than that, jailbreaking your device could void your iPhone’s warranty. That means it won’t be eligible for service if something goes wrong down the line.
