Question about Jailbreaking

[KingMC]

I'm not sure if this is allowed here, if it isn't please delete this!

I've been curious recently how I can jailbreak my iPhone 5 on iOS 10.2.1, is there a stable jailbreak out for this yet? If anyone has any tutorials I'd really appreciate them please!

Thank you!

don't do it it ruins your phone

I'd obviously back it up before doing it.

Jailbreaking is completely pointless, besides the custom features.. but why change something only you'll be seeing?

It's not worth it.

The only "stable" jailbreak is on 10.2, which you can't upgrade to anymore. As for what these guys are saying, it only messes with stuff if you get tweaks that do. I have been using my jail token phone for months and have had no bad effects.

I don't see why people jailbreak phone besides a few custom features but risking a 400$ phone (around the price range or my iPhone 7 that's why I same up with that price range) over some silly little features is not really worth it.

There really is no "risk" if you dont like it, remove it, if you like it, keep it. I am not sure why people give it such a bad rep, if you dont install random shit you are fine and nothing can go wrong

I jailbreaked a phone and it screwed up my battery. Would not recommend...

Stuff like this is what I'm mainly talking about

Like I said, that only happens if you download something that causes that. I have had mine jailbroken form months with no battery issues.

Well,

I have no idea how jail breaking works, all I know is you get custom features and makes your iPhone look nicer and stand out more. But I wouldent know what "certain apps" can cause these issues if something were to go wrong, Snapchat or instagram or Facebook one of those apps to cause that situation?


I have discord, Wells Fargo and other apps on my phone that could cause my phone to have issues. What I'm saying is I'll have no idea what app will cause my phone to turn out like this.

Not like that, all appstore stuff wont cause issues, only some tweaks will for example.. smoother animations could be added or animated wallpapers, that can cause battery drain. You are over thinking it
