Is Jailbreaking your iPhone Worth it?

Jailbreaking - Should I?

Hey guys, Newbie here! But I've been searching through the forums a lot recently and not to my own surprise, I've found that to hack games efficiently I'll need to jailbreak my iPhone 5, But I was wondering if jailbreaking is a good option... Here's some context about me and my iPhone;

I enjoy hacking games and changing the saved game files, well whenever I can (I struggle with some formats, so I can only hack simple save formats). And I have been for a few months now, I also can use iFunBox rather well and I have iFunBox Classic installed on my laptop. I can use Cheat Engines to do simple things such as changing coins, gems, etc. However I do not only use my phone for games, I also use it for facebook, youtube, etc for most the time and I only use it for games in my freetime...

So what I'm wondering is, Will jailbreaking be the right option for me? Since I've heard that jailbreaking your iPhone can make your phone laggy after some time and I really don't want my phone to become laggy... Yet I also want to be able to hack games in an ease on my iPhone, without constantly plugging my phone into my laptop... What are some other pro's and con's of jailbreaking my iPhone? And would it be right for me?

In my opinion, Jailbreaking is worth it.

I've always Jailbroken every iDevice I've owned and I've been happy with these awesome tweaks and apps you can only get from Cydia.

Jailbreaking doesn't break your phone or ruin battery life. The tweaks and apps you install after you jailbreak might.

You can always restore back to stock if you don't like Jailbreaking in the end.

The only downside to Jailbreaking is the Jailbreak Community.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. The best thing is to learn hacking using Cydia Substrate before you try weird things on your iDevice. That also saves some annoying support topics in which we (and certainly me) have to help you with easy things.

@@castix, I'm kinda new so I still don't know what Cydia Substrate actually is, although I've heard it a few times

Ryandxo, to my opinion, Yes. its very useful.

Because apple actually locked us out of a lot of funny ,useful and performance changing things.

U can do so much more with jailbreak... things like theming your Idevice, Hacking games and Learning even more things about your Idevice .and lots more abilities they locked us out of it.

Ps. If u need any help jailbreaking , just ask using PM
