This is like buying a hair dryer and asking, “where is the cold air feature? If it can blow hot air, I should be able to disable the part that makes the air hot. I bought the product outright!”.

The reality is, you bought a product that accurately advertised its features. Were you ever misled into thinking that an iPhone could download non-AppStore apps? If so, please return your phone you are owed a refund and maybe even sue for false advertising.

Meanwhile, if you bought the product like me knowing the product’s features. It feels disingenuous to now want more from the product.

If you want to jailbreak your iPhone, do it. But you really shouldn’t expect Apple to provide updates or support your warranty once you choose to. The same as if you opened up a hair dryer, and disabled the part that heats the air the warranty would be void.
