So, what you really saying is the number of users who enjoy theming has dramatically increased? That pretty hilarious, considering that even the name "jailbreak" has almost been forgotten amongst the ones once used on their iPhones.
Got a tip for us?

I am now able to unlock my 11 Pro, without needing to swipe up. Together with an app that speeds up the unlock sheet, my unlocking is crazy fast.
I can be within 0.3 seconds from lockscreen, scanning my face, to my homescreen without any swiping up.
I have set it up that once there's a notification it first stays at the lockscreen and I have to decide what I want to do next when seeing the notification.
For me, an incredible and useful way of unlocking!
so far, this 13.5 jailbreak is very smooth on my 11 Pro. All of my banking apps and Apple Pay are working 100%.
In the past, I was jailbreaking for years (iOS 6 - iOS 10). Not a single time I was hacked, breached, or problems with my banking apps what so ever.
As long as you stick with the credible repo's and tweaks/apps, you should be fine.
I am happy again I can use my €1159 iPhone the way I want, not the way Apple wants me to use it.

what privacy and security tweaks do people recommend?
One thing I don’t like that Apple does is limit ad blocking apps ss well as vpn blocking. i want apple and others (facebook, google, ...) to get less data on me!
are there tweaks that provide fake device ids, complete ad blocking, fake tracking identifiers, fake location, disable wifi detection, other app reporting, disable sensors within apps, ...
i want to make my ios more like GrapheneOS.

I don’t think JB is still relevant today, but it’s funny Apple still can’t prevent it even if they are fighting it since the beginning.
Apps can detect if they are running on a jailbroken device, and some (many?) apps will prevent login to the backend system when this is this case. Mostly to prevent credential theft and/or account takeover, since a jailbroken phone has a higher probability of being compromised, at least in theory.
There are, in turn, countermeasures that can be used to prevent apps from detecting the JB.
One reason is piracy, but I never jailbroke for that. Back in the day (I started on iPhoneOS 2.x), there were tons of low-hanging fruit left in iOS.
These days, I don't jailbreak, but it's tempting. It can add things that third-party apps couldn't without a jailbreak, like clipboard history and default apps.

Even apple cannot make their iOS 100% bug free at any moment. This is literally impossible. No wonder they need to continue fighting for it, and with the drama between FBI and Apple unfold a few years ago, Apple will find themselves fighting an uphill battle patching security flaws as time goes on.
Those aren't even half of the things you can do! Themeing and customization is cool and all, but peole seem to forget the amount of useful functionality you can add. Check this twitter thread.
You don't need jailbreak to pirate.
I don't like semi-untethered, but maybe I'll try mainly to optimize UX.
"incredible battery"
lol
"amazing stuff like (real) multitasking and Always on displays and animated wallpapers"
lol it's so cute how some people think features most android phones have had for literally years are "amazing"
Eh. If you're into those. Almost everything listed there belongs in the "power user" column, really. For example, I can see the occasional usefulness of PiP on a phone, but there's so little room in the screen it'll confuse most people.
Jailborke my iphone, first time since IOS 7. Went through Cydia, connected repos, saw what was new and removed jailbreak. Really felt uncomfortable leaving my device exposed to 3rd parties. I have Apple Pay, internet banking and work materials on it. Don't see the point at all - and I have been using it since IOS 1.1.4. There is nothing really useful to install. Few tweaks I tried (starting from Snowboard) are bugged as I remember they were few years ago.

If iOS 14 doesn’t reduce incoming calls to an unobtrusive notification, I’m hopping on-board the jailbreak train.
while I agree with you that there’s no completely secure operating system, it’s absolutely true that iOS is dramatically more secure than android. I mean, just look at all the trouble the FBI has been having over the last couple years breaking into iPhones. Apple refuses to create a back door, which I agree with them on because that would compromise all of our security.
And that’s why I expect iOS 13.5.1 by the end of this week, or early next week. Apple does not like to have any open security holes that are known about.
this is what companies do. Improve on what’s already existing.
Smart phones existed and we’re overly complicated, so Apple invented the iPhone.
Notifications sucked on the iPhone, so some jailbreak developers made a better version, and Apple hired one of them to help them improve on the Built in system.
SBSettings was huge in the jailbreak community, so Apple added control center.
Wireless headphones are getting big, so Apple invented AirPods.
They do it with both software, and hardware. That’s exactly what they do.

first of all, that’s a Google restriction, not an Apple restriction. And second of all, you can already play videos in the background if you use Safari.

All those retro games are protected by copyright law. If Apple allowed emulators, they would be open to hundreds of lawsuits

Didn’t an Apple employees say that that was one of the features that they worked on for iOS 13, but it just didn’t make the deadline?

Back when I jailbroke for tethering and call recording mainly. Call recording is still desired and certainly doable with current jailbreak. Apple could easily do this as well but won’t. The cons is instability or other legit apps not working because they detect jailbreak.
It’s always a temp thing though. Hate to get used to certain enabled features knowing the days are numbered.

Can't Android users understand the fact that just because it has more features isn't enough for iOS users to switch? You don't judge which OS is better based on features. I'd rather use unjailbroken iOS than Android. I like iOS. Don't try to change my opinion.
[automerge]1590416236[/automerge]
Let's make an analogy. Are people concerned that nearly every computer OS is unlocked and the user can easily get root access or inject code? Why should we be concerned with doing the same thing on iOS? Jailbreaking merely just unlocks the device.
How you know android has more features? Be careful accepting something as fact.
You're not leaving your device exposed by doing it. Nothing bad can happen if you don't install anything. (Unlike previous jailbreaks, unc0ver doesn't give power to App Store apps, only jailbreak packages have full access). And even then, it's not hard to find trusted packages.

I mean, it has, even if not out-of-the-box, it's still customizable and everyone knows that. But why even ask this lol, I'm not saying Android is good.

That's only if you can't wait for the next jailbreak. With approximately two jailbreaks per year, it's absolutely possible to be jailbroken and up-to-date. (Don't even get started for A7-A11 devices, they always have and will have an up-to-date jailbreak)
