Huh haven’t jailbroken my iPhones since my iPhone 5 back in 2014. Back then I feel that iOS was severely limited in functionality and jailbreaking allowed for custom solutions to problems Apple wasn’t addressing. Since then iOS has seen a plethora of features and I feel there’s little reason to jailbreak anymore. Does anyone know if there’s any good reason to jailbreak anymore? Any killer functionality that would make it worth it?

Switching the default apps. Sideloading. Arranging my home screens any way that I want.Tweaking the system any way that I want. Tweaking the UI any way that I want.

Allowing me to build some software and install it on the device I own without having to get it blessed by Apple.

These are all very good reasons to jailbreak.

Running apps that Apple don’t like on the App Store.

SSH’ing into your iPhone.

And the main reason for jailbreaking now is so you can dump source code from running IPAs with Frida.

I quit from jailbreak but I still miss Activator in iPhone that enables button customize to skip/play music by pressing volume button. I prefer pressing phone button than touching wireless earphone's button.

Also miss the ability to change default browser from Safari.

Run a server on that powerful arm?

That can't be cost efficient compared to alternatives can it?

2nd hands with broken glass cost peanuts, as weird as it sounds he may be onto something fun; ie. if you have working mic/speaker/camera you can also bump it to cctv/whatever.

iphone cluster would be fun to see, but probably better with apple tvs.

How could you run a server on a jailbroken iOS device?

[sigjuice]

Not very appealing, honestly.

Sideload apps?

The feeling you don't live in a golden jail?
