How much time until Jailbreaking is useless?

That's a funny way to make enumerations. Generally, people use commas, but 'can you?' does the job.

Seeing information on the lock screen might be nice, in some situations. The rest is just futile.

By tether Internet via wifi, do you mean a portable hotspot, or am I missing the point?

Now you can send SMS without quitting an app, and I do really think themes are useless.

There are very adult and professional people using SciPhones too.

Open your eyes, I have used commas. You'd be surprised how many people would love to have to not waste time unlocking the device, and opening each app to check all those things which would take around five minutes, when I can do it in less than five seconds. Yes, I did say a portable wifi hotspot. And no, you can't send a text message without quitting an app, you have to leave the app, then when you're done, open it again. Unless the developer implements sending a text from an app, which is just the in-app email sending layout. And you use an iPhone for three years, then tell me you rent bored with the same UI.

I can see you used commas, but that doesn't make your text less repetitive.

I said 'Seeing information on the lock screen might be nice'. But I think SMS and e-mail are enough, right? How many times do you need to check the weather? Why would I be surprised? Five minutes!? Maybe if you're using your toes.

I don't get your SMS problem. Just double click the home button. If your iPhone is too old, don't get angry at me.

If you get bored, play a game, or change the wallpaper. The iPhone UI is barely noticeable, and it's very well done.

Consider buying a stress ball, or go get pissed at some Android forum.

I didn't know about those. Your iPhone screen must look terrible, with all that stuff. How do you see the software buttons and send the SMS without covering the current app?

What's people's problem with Apple's multitasking? "Full-Blown" multitasking, as you call it, probably fills the CPU and drains the battery.

Those may be features, but not "the reasons why". Unless you break the button. In that case it's a need. By the way, you don't have to answer, if I'm boring or annoying you.

I don't think 'need' is the correct word. You don't NEED to Jailbreak. You would if the iPhone didn't work without it.

When you buy a phone, you apparently want it to make experiments, according to the car example, but most people just want it to work as advertised.

Sorry, but you forgot to mention why you 'need' it. Is it the themes? Do you NEED them?

@BrunoMCP you havnt ever jailbroken..have you? trust me..you can do so so much more with a jailbroken iphone

I know I can do a lot of things by jailbreaking. But the question is 'why'. I don't think most things mentioned here are that useful, unless you want your gadgets for experiments, instead of using them, which is fine, but I'm trying to see it from a regular user's perspective.

To be honest....the average user does not need to jailbreak..in fact..the average user..or anybody for that fact..even needs an iphone....jail breaking is for those who want to maximize there usage of there expensive iphone..you haven't jailbroken so i dont think you would understand..but jailbreaking really opens up your iphone or ipod touch..i could make a long list of the great things you can do.

It has been done. A good one, by NthDegree, for example. I just don't think I would take any advantage from it. But I definitely need an iPhone, and I will use every single feature. I opened this thread to confirm that, and I've not seen anything especially interesting. It seems that people just want to show the middle finger to Apple, like this r0bErT4u guy. Read his comment again and try to deny that he sounds obsessed. lol

I'm obviously no expert in Jailbreaking, but why use Spirit when you can use http://www.jailbreakme.com/ ?

They say you just have to open it on your iOS device, no apps needed.

It has everything to do with piracy because Jailbreaking is the only way to use pirated apps.

Yeah, and pirated applications are a disgrace to the Jailbreak community. Hardly any Jailbreakees use that app anymore.

"Hardly any Jailbreakees use that app anymore."

What app?

i will not reveal its name..but there is an app.. available from the repo that i will not reveal..that allows you to download cracked apps..lots of them without searching the internet ..it a disgrace and almost all jailbkreaking communities frown upon it

Why use that app? You can just torrent cracked apps and add them to iTunes, right? I've tried once. They showed up on iTunes, but couldn't sync with the iPod touch I used, probably because it wasn't jailbreaked.

I think you miss-understood.

Apple is including more features that were available only by Jailbreaking on the OS at every update.

I'm not saying they should just come jailbreaked. It wouldn't be called Jailbreaking that way, just default OS.

The idea of "I don't like the idea of jail breaking iPhones. Who's with me?" is useless. Who would care?

This is just about being worth Jailbreaking, so I can give my opinion and disagree as much as I want, like anyone else. Don't judge me for trying to have a simple debate.

I understand how you see my comments, just like those christians who ask atheists to prove atheism and them don't listen to the answers. That's not the case. Just because I asked for people's opinion, it doesn't mean I have to agree with them.

Besides, I didn't deny the existence of any given advantage, I just said most of them are useless to the regular user. Relax.
