Few notes to make: - If you reboot anytime after 7 days, you need to do the process again. - If you reboot anytime during the 7 day period, simply run the Pangu app again. This is just like the iOS 10 jailbreak. Malware is not that big of an issue so as long as you know what tweaks to install. Trust me it's not a hard process to do. If need any more help, check out some video tutorials. |

I used to jailbreak my iOS devices, but honestly, I wouldn't recommend it now. I've mainly been concerned over security issues. In my mind, allowing an unknown program to exploit a security vulnerability to gain root access doesn't seem safe to me. There is also an added risk of malware when you jailbreak your phone by allowing unsigned apps to run. But do whatever, I guess. |

Jailbreaking has a lot of benefits if you're willing to risk your warranty. I mean if you're lucky, as yog said, it may not matter but I recently updated my Jailbroken iPad mini to iOS 10 in preparation for the new Graal Client - the only issue is as someone said is that there is no jailbreak for iOS 10.2.1 yet

I suggest refraining from using untethered jailbreak since you'll have to jailbreak your device again every single time it shuts off completely plus it only lasts for 7 days at max. If you're really desperate you could try but I always waited for the tethered jailbreaks so I don't have to fix it up every week. About malware or viruses, just don't download things you don't trust or know what they are. Cydia is overall quite safe though unless you start adding unknown repositories |

Aw **** yeah dude jailbreaking is the best upgrade you can give your boring ass iPhone. It's the reason why I still have a 5C on iOS 8 because I'm too lazy to upgrade and jailbreak again. Redmondpie gives pretty reliable sources where to jailbreak so I suggest you start looking there. Anyways, you can do a hell lot more than install emulators on a jailbroken iPhone. You can change fonts, get custom app themes, and so many quality-of-life tweaks that just makes your phone better. |
