General Jailbreaking fading away

So my facts are hearsay and your facts aren't. That's pretty conevenient for you, Mr. Generality.

Nah it's just you have no way to prove your facts and neither do I, but I don't have to prove them to you or anybody so we are at a stalemate.

No we are not at a stalemate. My point is that you have no actual facts. Facts can be proven and you, yourself, say you can't prove your own "FACTS," therefore we are back to my original point that you have no facts, only baseless generalities.

Why another thread on this just so people can argue about pirating of apps. :(

@Threadstarter - if you really needed to talk about this, why not add a comment to the active existing threads :rolleyes:

Just because you steal developer's work product doesn't mean everyone does.

This thread has disintegrated as I knew it would :cool:

It's almost like jailbreaking was like a fad that they used to do back in the day, because there is nothing really for the iPhone 5, you can't mod it in any way.

I mean even people that used to have jailbreaks on their older phones have upgraded.
 
Here's my stab....

Instead of bitching and complaining and telling people to go to the original thread, how about just not replying? The fewer relies = the thread just dies.

And, yes, my two cents to keep this thread from dying.
 
I mainly jailbreak for customizations, but that doesn't mean I've never grabbed any apps. There are just some apps I want to try before I buy... and yes, I actually do buy the ones that I found useful.

A fad? Back in the day? Really? 4 months ago when we didn't have the iPhone 5 jailbreaking was pretty prevelant. Your posts are hilarious. How old are you? 7?

its on its way...its being worked on. this happens all the time. Some take 2 months. some take 4 or 5.

Some things don't get jailbroken for years.

e.g., PS3.

Also, in theory it is possible to write impossible to jailbreak devices (at least not without hardware level eletronic snooping).

eventually, iOS will get to this level (if i recall, the PS3 was only hacked due to snooping of keys by hardware hackery). Maybe it is iOS 6? Maybe it is iOS 7?

You just don't know - software can't be proven secure, it can only be proven insecure by hacking it. but it's possible that there are no usable holes to be found.

Who said anything about stealing? I've never downloaded a pirated app. I jailbroke my phone for two reasons: 1) to stop dealing with the home button, which is probably the most frustrating thing about the iPhone (several models made and yet they can't come up with something better?) and 2) to enable tethering, something my service does not offer. The apps I downloaded to enable both these features? I paid for both.
There are reasons to jailbreak other than piracy.

Curious as what you did to not use your home button so much? My home button on my 4 is going out and it's driving me nuts. And don't really feel like paying to get it fixed just to have it break again. I'm at work so I can't really do any googling right now but I would be grateful if someone could hook me up with some info about that here

Thanks

Is there really any incentive to Jailbreak anymore, I mean now that Installous is gone. The heart of Jailbreaking is pretty much dead. I also don't expect there to ever be a jailbreak for the iPhone 5.

Apple just moves too quick.

For me there is I love customizing it the way I want and another form of installous will come out eventually just as good but hope it don't fade away

I 100% agree with your first paragraph and 100% disagree with your last sentence.

Apple moves at a glacial speed, it's just that iOS is to the point where it's nearly impossible to JB and the devs can brag all day long about how they have a working untethered JB but they're just 'holding on to it' for this reason or that. Personally, I call BS.

About the time they finally release a JB (if ever) iOS7 will be on it's heels and no one is going to want to stay on a year old OS just because it's finally jailbroke.

The JB scene is dead. RIP.

Come on, you know it's over. Apple apparently did something that made it pretty much impossible

Though its certainly possible there will be more successful jailbreaks, Apple will continue to do whatever they need both proactively and reactively to prevent future successes.

Remember they see these as security breaches....
 
Well thanks to the pirate outlaws (ok i get the people who have no iTunes in their countries or have no easy payment methods, but it was rampant here in North America too), now we can say goodbye to easily moving pictures, media, documents, or files around without having iTunes hold our hand or falling back to wifi all the time between a PC and iOS devices themselves, and using 3rd party apps as defaults.

It is frustrating when the best software library is present for a locked down iPad and iPhone (which is funny considering windows is pretty non restricted and yet all software is there) and you cannot get it on a windows phone/windows RT or android device which are much easier to work with when not owning a mac. Also development for mobile.

I hate you all, apple, google, MS, and developers. Hate you all for your childish battles against multi platform freedom.
