hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with a video talking about jailbreak is it even worth it I recently took a trip out to San Francisco for jailbreak con 2014 where I got to catch up with Steven DeFranco better known as I hate snow the maker of jailbreak such as snow breeze I actually got into jailbreaking by like my first iPod touch which was back in 2009 it's really hard to define what a jailbreaking actually is to the normal person the most easiest explanation you can probably give something like the ability to customize the uncustomed I suppose essentially when you jailbreak an iPhone iPod or iPad you're removing Apple's restrictions on what you can and can't do with your device on Android for example you can download launchers which basically allow you to customize the entire look and feel of your phone straight from the Play Store on the other hand with iOS if you really want to tweak and customize you're essentially going to have to jailbreak I also have winterboard powering this phone and it's actually using certain axes latest named iris and it's basically a lot of people say it's iOS 7 done right which in a way it is it's it puts more focus on the icons and how which actually should be with when it comes in stock with iOS 7 so it makes the user experience much much better there's more to it than just changing the look though jailbreaking can also add new features so I like to use a tweak called avi which basically allows me to do many things one of the most useful things that it does is actually quick compose right from the notification center where you can just pull it down and then just start writing to a friend of yours so one tweak that is actually not very popular is actually called dimmer where it allows me to dim the display even more than what it would with stock see right now it looks like it's off but when you're in bed and you're basically trying to use your phone you don't want this thing blasting at you while I balance between iOS and Android these days something a lot of you guys might not know is that in the early days of my channel I actually focused a lot on jailbreaking it's definitely come a long way in the last few years however Apple is absolutely stepped up their game on actually trying to crack down and make me a lot more difficult the grip that Apple is getting nowadays with exploits and stuff like that they're things are getting close on more frequently and a lot more holes and so it makes things more difficult and which is why the waiting period is a lot longer sometimes and nowadays jailbreaking iOS is like dindt than gravity's and the Attic so face is quite really short on iOS and is slow they don't mind innovation that they admire innovation in fact that's what they go by what they do not like about jailbreaking is the risk that comes with it with opening up the device mainly security wise these days there's basically one new major jailbreak year so because of the way that Apple does things if you decide to update your firmware you're pretty much out of luck until the next jailbreak comes out I'm really curious to know do you guys jailbreak a root on your Android or iOS devices I'd love to hear why or why not as well there definitely some cool things that you can do when you jailbreak a root there are also some downsides so definitely be sure to let me know what you guys think in the comments below also I've got to give a big shout out to Steven as well as Craig from jailbreak con probably pull this video together anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
