If you haven’t heard of the news, jailbreaking your iPhone is now legal (according to United States law, at least) , thanks to a new ruling by U.S Copyright Office but don’t be too excited. Apple still considers jailbreaking as one of those activities that would void iPhone’s warranty, according to this short statement: “Apple’s goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great experience with their iPhone and we know that jailbreaking can severely degrade the experience. As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones as this can violate the warranty and can cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably.” So, you still have to exercise caution when you decide to "free" your iPhone. Trust us, you would not want to end up with a shiny glossy brick. [Source: Cult of Mac. Image: Fire!, used under Creative Commons license.]
