One of the biggest consequences of jailbreaking your iPhone is that you compromise your security. Apple has always been focused on providing a great user experience that is focused on safety and privacy; and thus, they release iOS updates that patch holes or prevent malicious users from accessing loopholes. But jailbreaking changes all of that. By jailbreaking, you alter the security layers on your device and open yourself up to malware, spyware, and viruses that could be lingering in unauthorized apps or software.
