Apple can rightfully strip you of your warranty and deny any requested service under AppleCare or even under non-AppleCare repairs if they find out you've jailbroken the device - jailbreaking is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement.

It opens up a whole new realm for what your device can do, but it can also cause instability across the system and can dissuade you from getting future updates from Apple that have important features, bug fixes, and security enhancements.įor the most part, carriers can't block you from wanting to unlock your iPhone from their service, but jailbreaking is a whole different beast. Jailbreaking gives you root access to the iOS file system, allowing you to install third-party apps and tweaks on your iPhone that aren't available in the App Store.
