There are plenty of downsides to jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad. You’ll be behind on iOS updates and forced to jailbreak each new version of iOS you want to use. More importantly, leaked security documents show jailbroken iPhones are more vulnerable to attack.

Jailbreaking has become less useful over time, too. More and more features that once required jailbreaking on iOS have become built-in as Apple added background apps, widgets, and other configurability to iOS.

Keeping Up With the Jailbreaks is Hard

All jailbreaks rely on security holes in the iOS operating system used on iPhones and iPads. When an intrepid hacker finds a security hole, they can use it to escape the usual protected environment on iOS and take control over the entire operating system. This exploit is then packaged into a jailbreaking tool people can download and use on their own devices.

That jailbroken iPhone or iPad will remain jailbroken until it upgrades to the next version of iOS. When you upgrade to the next version, your device will no longer be jailbroken — and Apple will have closed the hole, making hackers search for another one before the new version of iOS can be jailbroken. This may take months. It’s becoming harder and taking longer for hackers to find holes in iOS as Apple tightens security.

This means that, if you jailbreak, you won’t be able to install new versions of iOS immediately when they’re released. You’ll have to wait for hackers to find a new security hole and jailbreak. After you do upgrade, you’ll have to run the latest jailbreak tool — and you’ll remain stuck on that version of iOS until the process repeats itself. There’s no way around it — this is just inconvenient and more work. It’s not just a one-time process.

There’s no way around it — this is just inconvenient and more work. It’s not just a one-time process.

Why Bother?

And honestly, why even bother jailbreaking? Yes, we know that there are tons of tweaks out there and ways you can extend iOS in ways that Apple usually won’t let you. However, realistically, jailbreaking has become less and less compelling.

Features like widgets, the ability for apps to run in the background, sharing data between apps, and multiple apps on-screen on the iPad have already been added or are being added in iOS 9.

iOS has become a mature operating system, and jailbreaking is less and less necessary — just like rooting has become less necessary on Android phones.

Don’t jailbreak just to jailbreak or use a little tweak. Sure, you might want to do it if there’s something you’re really passionate about — but know what you’re getting into and realize how much you’ve giving up for it.
