To add to the comment below, the only thing that changes about respring when Jailbroken is that you can choose to have a respring icon on your home screen. Or, if you prefer, other apps have respring toggles hidden in their menu structure. This is useful so that you don't accidentally hit the respring icon on the home screen. A friend once told me that the ability to respring your device when not Jailbroken is a VoiceOver bug which was simply never squashed over the past few years. This is supported by the fact that pressing the power button five times when VoiceOver is off does nothing. Personally, if it is a bug, you will never catch me reporting it. I like the ability to respring my phone, Jailbroken or not. Sent from my iPhone
