You talk like a jailbreak is some "dangerous and system-destroying action".

The fact that a jailbreak is even needed to actually get full ownership of your device that's "sold" is laughable. And we have people fighting and demeaning people for demanding the full rights to devices they supposedly own?

Apple fraudulently "sells" rentals as if they were a purchase.

Jailbreaking is a dangerous action... you're running unsupported, privileged software, that inherently takes advantage of an existing flaw in the system. That's not a judgement, I ran jailbroken phones myself for years and years. It's just the facts.

The parent posts didn't seem judgmental of jailbreaking at all.

..But only because most customers feel safest inside a jail.
