The jailbreak community offers a lot of value proposition for iOS devices. True, by default, you don’t really get much in terms of customization and personalization out of iOS devices, which is a shame considering just how capable iPhone hardware is.

Luckily, thanks to the Jailbreak community, you can get a little but more functionality and customization out of your iOS device. But of course, the first step to enjoying all the jailbreak goodness is jailbreaking your device.
