    Basically those great phones run much better on the operating system they were released with, but as Apple seeks to "upgrade" they put a heavier operating system on them and that eats up their capacity and features, good video!!

      @@superstar64 that’s true, luckily on iDevices this old you can simply dump onboard blobs if you had the foresight to decide against updating it to begin with. The biggest benefit is not having to go through as many steps, functional only on the command line via macOS or Linux whereas iFaith work fine on Windows and can make a personalized IPSW easily restorable on an age-appropriate version of iTunes (or in the case of redsn0w, even perform the restoration directly through its own GUI).
