Evasi0n iOS 6.x jailbreak

Incidentally, can anyone comment on whether it's worth it to jailbreak your iPhone these days? Are there any must-have improvements, and do they come at a cost of stability? Is there any public review on security of the jailbreaks/apps, i.e. have they have had backdoors/steal your data? I would have no idea how to identify a "trustworthy" developer from someone random.

Can't connect for 30 minutes now, stuck on the "Just a moment..." screen. Can anyone provide mirrors?

The only one I can think of is f.lux but that's more useful on an iPad anyway. Most of the other ones are really much more useful on an iPad than an iPhone.

Unless you use emulators, that is.

That's a very misleading article. It's conflating jailbreaking with carrier unlocking, and they're two different things - in iOS community terminology, "jailbreaking" is removing software restrictions so that you have root on your own device, and "unlocking" is about carrier unlocking.

In any case, unofficial carrier unlocking isn't illegal now - it's just in a legal grey area for newer devices. See the EFF's corrections to sensationalized articles like this one: https://www.eff.org/is-it-illegal-to-unlock-a-phone
