Script kiddies? Lol, we're far from the days where script kiddies are putting out jailbreaks, if that day was ever even here. There's really only a handful of people on the planet who have the skills to jailbreak the latest ios versions, not saying that they're to be trusted, but it's definitely not just a kid in his moms basement publishing this stuff.
Im with him, these days info on the phone is more valuable than any document in your house. Your phone has your name, address, age, bank accounts, routines, schedules, information about your relative, sleeping schedules, microphone, camera, access to your photos, recovery emails, two factor auth, access to any site you have logged into on the phone... and the list goes on... to use a jailbreak you have to have good faith that no one is snooping that info, and just like it takes a very talented individual to jailbreak a phone it also takes a very talented one to find if there is anything bad being done on your phone without your knowledge. In other words your phone can be collecting and uploading your data without you knowing, I mean hell Uber did it for a while legally, so did ATT and others. Everything about your life can be known by constructing a profile based on data from your phone. Id much rather spend 10$ on an arduino than to risk that. There is literally almost zero benefit to jailbreak. I had jailbroken iphones years ago for YEARS... and i stopped jailbreaking them when I realized I did absolutely nothing that I couldnt do on a non jailbroken phone. Sure I could get apps for free... but I want maybe 1 paid app a year, Im ok with spending 99 cents once a year.
Jailbreaking is a lot like overclocking, people that do it spend most of the time doing it and messing around with options and hardly ever actually use the product in a way that would utilize those things. in other words overclockers spend days upon days getting the voltages and cooling just right, to stress test and then go back to messing with it again... over and over and over again...
waste of time. Buy the product and enjoy it. Life is too short
