Now that it’s legal and there’s a web app that lets you do it easily, do you plan to jailbreak your iPhone 4? There are ample reasons to do so and also a few good reasons to abstain for now.
Our own Ben Parr talks to the smarties from G4’s Attack of the Show about the ins and outs of jailbreaking, what it means for app usage, what Apple might do to counteract jailbreaking, whether a jailbroken phone can still be secure and more.
If you’ve decided to go ahead with a jailbreak, we suggest you take a look at JailbreakMe, the first web-based jailbreak tool for iPhone 4. It makes opening up your device as simple as a touchscreen swipe. It’ll work just fine for any iPhone running iOS 4.0.1 or below and any iPad running iOS 3.2.1 or below.
Just a week ago, a U.S. court ruled that users who jailbroke their iPhones were not violating any laws. This update to the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act ensures Apple won’t be suing you for opening your device and running non-App Store-approved applications.
If you’re an iPhone 4 owner, what’s your decision so far: To jailbreak or not to jailbreak?
