iPhone Jailbreaking – What are the benefits?

Before going into details to explain why to jailbreak your iPhone, you need to know what  iPhone Jailbreaking is. Apple has placed a few restrictions to its iDevices and it only allows them to use certain applications that all exist in Apple's App Store. This restriction prevents you from installing and running third party applications. iPhone Jailbreaking you free your device from this restriction and make it able to use any third party application out there while still using the Apple's App Store.
There are two ways to perform an iPhone Jailbreaking, the tethered and the untethered method. At the tethered  iPhone Jailbreaking when you need to reboot your iPhone you must have it connected to a computer and only with the help of a software you can complete the rebooting process. At the untethered  iPhone Jailbreaking there are no restrictions with the rebooting process, this means you can reboot your iPhone whenever you want. When you finish the iPhone jailbreaking you will gain access to a application which is called Cydia. Cydia is similar with the AppStore, but its only difference is that it contains all the third party applications, and after jailbreaking your iDevice, it will be able to support all of them.

Is iPhone Jailbreaking a safe process ?

Not only it is a 100% safe process, but it is also legal. Since the jailbreaking procedure alters your iOS, it is a reversible process, which means that even if you are not satisfied with the results you can easily perform an iOS Restore and use a clean iOS version to your iPhone. iPhone Jailbreaking cannot harm the hardware of your device and it cannot void the warranty too, because by restoring it the jailbreak stops existing.
