Just curious.....is jailbreaking still a thing?

Howdy! Hope you're staying safe, too

Personally I'd only consider jailbreaking a phone that wasn't a daily driver for me. I don't root (Android equivalent of jailbreaking) my phones anymore, and even when I did it wasn't until after all official updates for it ceased to exist.

So I suggest you ask yourself why you want to jailbreak? Just for fun or curiosity? Definitely don't do it with the phone you use actively, wait till you get a new phone and then jailbreak the old one. Does jailbreak offer something you feel will make your phone a better device and you're willing to trade off something for it? Go for it, but first read the https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/iphone/is-jailbreaking-my-iphone-or-ipad-safe-3491721 and check out the pros and cons section.

 

^^^ Ditto What dmapr said^^

I've rooted a few of my Android phones. and have read a few post about jailbreaking an iPhone. I think a lot people do it just to get free apps from an illegal download site. Later they realize their phone is full of malware and their credit card number has been stolen.

 

Just for fun perhaps, but I never jailbreak. Just let’s evildoers into your phone and probably instability.

Sort of like managing your own stock portfolio. Unless you are going to keep up with the changing software, best to let the experts (Apple) do it theses days.
