      Dennis De la mara Yea but not really. Installer was used back then. It came before cydia and people used it to install apps as they didn’t exist before. It convinced Apple to make the AppStore cause they thought web apps were the future. Installer was used back then and before installer people used a computer to install and remove apps from the iPhone

      Cydia was released February 28, 2008 as an open-source alternative to Installer.app
      The iPhone App Store opened on July 10, 2008, One day before the iPhone 3G was released.

      lvlaple4Ever not really? I mean the biggest copy I ever saw way hiring the developers of MobileNotifier for notifications in iOS 5. And lots of copying of BiteSMS. But I never got the feeling like apple was claiming to invent it but more the feeling of apple incorporating and seeing what people liked and adding/copying it. And I’m totally cool with that.

      Bruh I know that exact feeling. At the time having a proper jail broken iphone with all the goodies installed was way better than any other phone. Nokia and Microsoft were still trying then. Black berry too. A jail broken iPhone was years ahead of its time with features such as accessing and modifying save files and device files. Forcing on Hotspots, free apps and music. Unlimited in app money. Customizing ui, toggles. Got it was the best.

    My iPhone XS Max is jailbroken and I can confidently say, jailbreaking isn’t just a hobby, or something that just makes your device more flashy. It adds seriously useful and innovative features you use every day. Tweaks like Eclipse, Tapvideoconfig, barmoji, Xen HTML, floatingdock plus, etc that make the phone more productive and just an overall better experience.

    Great video!
    In my opinion you only overlooked two key things from the early days of jailbreaking.
    1. The key motivator for many jailbreakers of the first iPhone was MMS, or picture messaging, which Apple had decided to leave out of the initial iPhone implementation.
    2. Apple initially had no interest in releasing the iPhone SDK to the public or in opening their developer program to individuals, but they were eventually forced to (leading to billions in profits and a hugely bloated App Store shelf) because Saurik (Jay Freeman) leaked the iPhone SDK to the public.
    Incidentally, my first jailbroken iPhone stopped registering touch events today, it is eleven years old.

    It's kinda sad Apple doesn't allow for more features and customizability at the same time.

      darktennisball Maybe. I definitely will still try to make the most of what I have now and jailbreak it eventually, but even then I don't think my iPad has much life left anymore, especially now with most of my apps (especially the third party stuff) crashing more and more frequently and the UI slowing down to a crawl.

    2. Apple stopped supporting it. CoolBooter not only satisfies my nostalgic needs but showing how fast it was when I buy it.
    3. Look for compatible apps. If I didn't get this app before they stopped supporting older versions of iOS, I can't get this app on any of my devices
    If Apple decided to make old devices unbearably slow, at least let me fix it. I own the hardware afterall

    there is some inaccuracy in this video: jail breaking is no longer used to unlock an iphone for different carriers, the iphone 3GS was the last device to support unlocking. ios versions after ios 3 no longer supported unlocking.

    One of the main reasons Jailbreaking became a thing on iPhones was that when the first gen iPhone was released, it did not allow users to install there own native apps, instead relying only on web apps as a means access to third party apps. This approach turned out to be a failure as not many developers jumped on the web app bandwagon and users clamored for native third-party apps. When jailbreaking became a thing and thus allowed for third-party apps this put pressure on Apple to open the iPhone up to native third-party apps not just web apps. Thus a year later, the IOS/iPhone App Store opened.
    There is some dispute as to whether the App Store was planned all along but just wasn’t ready in time for release of the 1st gen iPhone or if it was developed later in response to jailbreaking with Apple basically reluctantly admitting it’s totally close platform model for iPhone/IOS wasn’t workable without actually saying so directly. The former theory argues that Apple intended all along to have an App Store for iPhone/IOS but it just wasn’t ready by the time of the iPhone release so they held it back for a year. They pushed web apps as interim options for app developers until they where ready to announce the App Store. The other theory suggests that Apple never intended to have an App Store on the iPhone but that jailbreaking and consumer and developer pressure forced their hand. Under this theory, Apple only intended select developers to ever be allowed to have native apps on the iPhone such Google and Facebook, much like how some select software companies where allowed to have an app of theirs included in MacOS (example: Microsoft with Internet Explorer for Mac in early versions of Mac OS X). Other developers and consumers would have to rely solely on web apps under this supposed plan. Now oince the iPhone was jailbroken then Apple, under this theory, realized their plan would no longer work and quickly developed an App Store as a way to keep the iPhone still locked down but allow for Apple approved native apps to be installed with the benefit of Apple being able to uninstall/remove malicious apps if need be. Personally, I give more credence to idea Apple intended their to be an App Store all along but it just wasn’t ready when the 1st gen iPhone was released. Though it’s interesting that we a now seeing a push by companies like Google, Microsoft, and Apple towards Progressive Web Apps (PWA’s) which are type of advanced web apps, so web apps as a model for installing new apps on mobile or desktop system aren’t dead yet.

    One thing though; Apple, nor any other company, can outright void your warranty for software modifications.
    Hardware warranty is a separate entity entirely from the software and as such Apple MUST prove that the hardware defect was directly CAUSED by the software modification to deny service.
    US: Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects against this, motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/yp3nax/jailbreaking-iphone-rooting-android-does-not-void-warranty
    EU: Directive 1999/44/CE, www.piana.eu/root/

Even never had a issue when returning it to the carrier for an upgrade.

    Ngl. Jailbreaking your iPhone felt cool. You can finally have a file explorer, change the look of iPhone based from your mood, and basically feel like you own the phone. That is why Android encourages others to root their phones, because their operating system is an open system and lets people do whatever they want with the operating system. Because of this freedom, people with creativity can make cool mods to the OS, unleashing infinite possibilities.
    I have experienced jailbreaking an iOS device, root an Android phone, and Interop(erability) unlock a Windows Phone. It feels cool to be free from system restraints.

    One thing we can all agree on is that the got good names; CheckRa1n, uncOver, Chimera, BlackRa1n, Electra. Apple can never come up with such names.

    A lot of features today on the iPhone were once jailbreak tweaks. Here are a few... control center, show-case, live clock icon, touch features on the home button, notifications, assistive touch - similar to activator, allowance of ad-block apps from app-store, clear lock notifications, f.lux, ability to hide or delete apps, ability to reboot device without pressing on/off and home together... so Apple you didn't invent them.

    I tried jailbreaking once. It was sorta cool, but I didn't really find it useful, so I stopped using it.

      Maybe you didn't check out everything you can do :P
      I can't live without a jailbreak. You can add tons of features & customization. Smaller volume hud, ability to ignore calls without hanging up (smaller call screen), ability to asign gestures for actions, and tons of other cool stuff

      I tried jailbreaking my iphone 6s... It works really bad. Like everytime i restart my iPhone my jailbreak dissapears, and it crashes a lot. :(

      WillBox OwO That's semi-untethered for you. Can't restart or let your phone die. Eventually you get used to it. As for the crashes, I don't know, might've been a beta jailbreak

    Damn all this nostalgia, I loved my Itouch 3g 32gb (with more ram :P) so much! It was my favorite device until my galaxy S3. Passed so many afternoons jailbreaking it. It was never very complicated but at this age (14) it felt so fucking cool to jailbreak it and talk about it in school. I jailbreaked some for friends and my family.
    Later I continued cracking things like my xbox 360, PSP 1004 etc...
    So now im 20, only use android smartphones and coding and doing my projects with electronics and other stuff.
    Thank you for reminding me this and for making me feel old now :D .
    Cheers

    Wow, I wasn’t expecting to see Ben “Bushing” Byer in this video. He was also a Wii hacking legend, him and his group Team Twiizers (or as they’re known now, fail0verflow) were the ones to first defeat the Wii’s security chip in 2008. Sadly, he passed away in 2016.

    Remember installing iPad baseband 06.15.00 to iPhone 3gs and being left without GPS and ability to update iOS without custom IPSW's?
    Or even jailbreaking a device to just install a wallpaper to your homescreen? In my country we also used to use an AppSync, just because AppStore was not available.
    It was fun! Now I have tried to jailbreak my iPhone 11, but couldn't really find anything to do with it.
    iPhone now has a file manager, AirDrop, Safari now can download files and save wherever you want. I'm not even mentioning multitasking, control center (SBSettings) and so on
