I can't think of a compelling reason to jailbreak my iPhone in 2013, and I suspect that's true for a lot more people than it was in the past.
I can not live without FolderCloser, SwipeSelectionand the patch which removes the 8 tabs limit in Safari.

F.Lux It used to take me 30-60 minutes to fall asleep. I jail broke my phone to install f.lux and now I fall asleep in ten minutes or less. If I eventually can't jailbreak an iPhone, I'll switch to android.
Perhaps you could try changing the lamp bulbs in you bedroom to daylight-spectrum so there isn't such a sharp distinction between a screen and the ambient light colour?

My top three: Freedom to copy your data out of an app into your computer even if the app doesn't "allow" it. E.g., get into Notes.app's sqlite database after they decide to delete all the data when you unlink your account even if it hasn't successfully synced for a year so that you can recover half of it. Develop apps on your own device without paying $100 and supporting the war on general purpose computing. Also com…

Interestingly ( perhaps ), in a house fitted entirely with 5600k 96%-daylight spectrum bulbs, I have no problems falling asleep nearly instantly after using a smartphone or laptop. Perhaps you could try changing the lamp bulbs in you bedroom to daylight-spectrum so there isn't such a sharp distinction between a screen and the ambient light colour?
So that's an interesting result.

iOS 7 has a blacklist for calls & texts, not a whitelist though (unless you can do this with Do Not Disturb, not sure)
For me, I'd use it for recording calls. I'm also interested in what the mod community comes up with - there's usually a lot of innovation in the JB space that Apple cribs into big iOS updates.

Good points, but I'm sorry to point out that buying the iPhone itself supports the war on general purpose computing. Jailbreaking might get you out of this set of digital handcuffs, but what about the next one, or the one after that?
