I mean, is there even a reason to jailbreak anymore? I've not used one in years since all the features I want are already baked into the OS natively.
Got a tip for us?

Lmao. I was just about to say this. I figured the first comment would have been, “Do people still jailbreak?”
Just saw that my old 7 Plus is still on iOS 14.3. gonna try it just too see what all the fuss is still about
iPhone X (iOS 14.3) + unc0ver + AltStore + AltDaemon + AppSync Unified + refresh apps within AltStore every 7 days = 👌
Did I mention that you can use Face ID with unc0ver, unlike checkra1n? Yup.

I forgot the iPhone X got screwed over with iOS 14 changes
that would be a pain without authentication cause the SEP mishap
that’s pain after a couple years of a latest versions and being used to that without hiccup
Exactly. My wife and I own a small software company with no employees other than us and a contract developer (for our Windows version). I have been doing this for 20 years and have had people tell me outright that they will simply pirate our software. It's all rather depressing.
I'll admit, in my, um, younger days, I would "borrow" a software code or two. But as I got older and worked a real job and career, I got a new appreciation for other peoples' hard work.
If it is about stealing software, it is not ok at all. If it is about doing, what ever you want with your iOS device, it is ok. I stopped jailbraking long time ago, because I get everything I want and: I value the fact, my iOS devices (credit card, bank account, access tools...) are kind of very secure and just do their job in an almost perfect way.
That is the most unrealistic definition of 'many' I have heard today.
Last time I JB'ed my iPhone I needed to be able to record phone calls easily, that was a long time ago. I have no reason or incentive to do it now, and I would rather keep my phone secure with the latest updates...
yes
good points (I think), still . . .
yes
yes
yes
My initial reaction to seeing this article on MacRumors was mild shock that jailbreaking software would be publicized here . . .
Fundamentally, if I'm going to purchase a product, particularly one that I rely upon throughout the day and expect to work seamlessly with the other products in the ecosystem, the idea of doing this would never cross my mind.
The only redeeming value to it that I can see is IF there is a benefit to Apple in identifying security holes, as @luvbug mentions. And if that is the case, it is certainly not the point of the software, only a side-effect.
out of the subject;
I'm not a native English speaker and thank you for the reason that you gave me another level to try to understand with this sentence alone; just thank you man.
Because unlike you we have the data.

Says who? It's all the cheap parole that don't want to pay 99 cents for an app, jail breaking is a joke.
It’s hard to believe just how much I want this… but not quite as hard to believe as the fact that Apple hasn’t allowed it yet. Lots of the smaller restrictions on the iPhone confuse me whenever I really think about them.
It would be nice to see a jailbreak for the OG HomePod that gives the user additional functionality.
Please share the super-secret data.
Excellent. Jailbreaking remains the only way for people who want more out of their devices to skirt apple’s limitations and use their hardware the way they want to. I’ll never not support jailbreaking.
Like yourself, I prefer to keep my phone safe with the latest updates.
But I do wonder why the option to record calls isn't an option in iOS. There must be a ton of people who get harassing phone calls, and that feature would be extremely useful for them.
I mean, it's not like you can even prevent calls from being recorded, as you could always use the phone speaker and a tape recorder. At much greater inconvenience.
Not the jailbreak developers‘ fault, but the existence of jailbreaks is a bad sign for all of us, as it means there are known security vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited in more harmful ways as well.
not really. The exploits have already been patched. They don’t work on iOS 14.4 and the CVE was publicly released , it’s what lead to this JB.
these have to be intentionally exploited too
so unless you install a fake JB, these vulnerabilities couldn’t lead to a JB without user instructing it and going through the lengths to get it on your phone and run it
nailed it. See a bunch of very salty people disagreed with your post. Truth hurts.
Just because some people disagree that “the primary focus of jailbreaking is piracy” doesn’t mean they’re salty. We need to be a bit more grown up about how we handle disagreements.
