Re: jailbroken?
This is all true. As iOS grows so are the feature set requiring less and less jailbreaking.

Of course there are still people who are not happy with the restrictions Apple imposes and they continue to jailbreak, but while Raul or Cara may comment, I don't think talking about jailbreaking is banned on the Viphone list, it's just that it is such a small percentage of Viphone users who jailbreak that the topic does not come up that often. I would also hazard a guess and say that the Viphone members who do jailbreak are usually somewhat experienced iOS users and therefore may not ask as many questions. There was just a nice little Podcast on Applevis as to how you can Jailbreak very easily and how it takes only about 10 minutes to do so. However, my advice to you, Pablo, is to carefully consider whether you want to do so and why you might want to do so. I know you are often dissatisfied with how Apple does things, but jailbreaking can make things worse and not better if you end up installing a lot of tweeks or jailbreak apps and it might be difficult to find out what exactly causes an issue. Also, while Jailbreaking is not illegal, it will void any warranty of your device so if you have an iPhone 5S which is still under warranty you should keep that in mind. Also, if your purchased Apple Care then you basically wasted the money for that if you plan to jailbreak. Lastly, if you already upgraded to iOS 7.1.1 jailbreaking is not an option for you, currently the latest jailbreak only works if you are still on iOS 7.0.4.
