pity the subject and body weren't tidied up so we could find the meat of
this sooner and easier.

> It’s only fitting with a new iOS 7 jailbreak being available that we cover
> the other side of the things; why you should not jailbreak at all. We’ve
> already mentioned in this jailbreaking guide that most users should not
> bother using the jailbreak at all, because casual iPhone, iPad, and iPod
> touch owners will probably not benefit from the result and may just run
> into problems. Accordingly, we do not recommend it for most users. That’s
> just our opinion though, so who better to tell you jailbreaking is a bad
> idea than Apple itself?
>
> It should come as no surprise that Apple has never been a fan of
> jailbreaking iOS for a variety of reasons. These seven (six plus one = 7)
> points are directly from Apple’s Support article addressing the subject,
> emphasizing problems that may be experienced which lead Apple to think
> jailbreaking is a bad idea, and why you should not jailbreak any iPhone,
> iPad, or iPod touch. They are:
>
> Security vulnerabilities
> Instability of iOS and apps
> Shortened battery life
> Unreliable voice and data
> Disruption of services
> Inability to apply future software updates (iOS updates)
> Apple may deny service to jailbroken devices
> Those interested in the topic should read the entire knowledge base
> article from Apple, citing their complete reasons for each specific
> instance of potential problems encountered. We’re repeating their full
> text below, quoting directly from Apple’s knowledge base article on the
> matter:
>
> iOS is designed to be reliable and secure from the moment you turn on your
> device. Built-in security features protect against malware and viruses and
> help to secure access to personal information and corporate data.
> Unauthorized modifications to iOS (“jailbreaking”) bypass security
> features and can cause numerous issues to the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod
> touch, including:
>
> Security vulnerabilities: Jailbreaking your device eliminates security
> layers designed to protect your personal information and your iOS device.
> With this security removed from your iOS device, hackers may steal your
> personal information, damage your device, attack your network, or
> introduce malware, spyware or viruses.
>
> Instability: Frequent and unexpected crashes of the device, crashes and
> freezes of built-in apps and third-party apps, and loss of data.
>
> Shortened battery life: The hacked software has caused an accelerated
> battery drain that shortens the operation of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod
> touch on a single battery charge.
>
> Unreliable voice and data: Dropped calls, slow or unreliable data
> connections, and delayed or inaccurate location data.
>
> Disruption of services: Services such as Visual Voicemail, Weather, and
> Stocks have been disrupted or no longer work on the device. Additionally,
> third-party apps that use the Apple Push Notification Service have had
> difficulty receiving notifications or received notifications that were
> intended for a different hacked device. Other push-based services such as
> iCloud and Exchange have experienced problems synchronizing data with
> their respective servers.
>
> Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized
> modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can
> result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently
> inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
>
> Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks iOS. It
> is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a
> violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of
> this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has
> installed any unauthorized software.
>
> Did you catch the 7th reason? It’s at the very end there (our emphasis
> added): Apple can deny warranty service coverage or any iPad, iPhone, or
> iPod touch that has an active jailbreak. This is a very important point to
> make, because if you mess up the process and can’t restore the device
> yourself, Apple may cite the jailbreak to not provide warranty service,
> and send you on your way.
>
> It really can’t be emphasized enough; jailbreaking is best for advanced
> users who understand all possible risks associated with the process. If
> you’re not sure whether you should jailbreak or not, the safest bet is to
> not do it because it can cause more problems than some users expect to
> experience, and may dramatically reduce their devices abilities to provide
> the stable experience they have become accustomed to. Ultimately it’s your
> decision, do what is right for you and your individual device needs.
