As we all know jailbreak for iPhone 4S is on the way, and while we are excited about ability to customize, add more application and do a lot more with the iPhone 4S, there are still numerous of reasons why you shouldn’t jailbreak your iPhone. Most things mentioned bellow are only theoretical and could be different from case to case, but it’s better to play safe than sorry.

Jailbreak means releasing full potential to your iPhone that Apple has locked down for one reason or another. This full potential allows you to customize your experience, starting from different icons, themes up to choosing how much icons you would like to see on one page and many other things that we covered on article: why you should jailbreak iPhone 4S.
Before you jailbreak your new iPhone 4S, be sure that you read the following warnings first. I’m not trying to talk you out of jailbreaking your iPhone, just giving you a heads up on what can happen if you do. Jailbreaking your iPhone is good thing if you know what you are doing and what you will get as the reward but it’s not for everyone.
You’ll Lose Your Warranty
If you jailbreak your iPhone, you will more likely lose warranty. Back in the days it was legal to jailbreak iPhone (it’s still legal by the law but not by Apple warranty terms) but Apple have made clear that jailbreaking your iPhone will void your warranty. This means that you could potentially lose a warranty even if you bring your phone back for jailbreak unrelated repair.
In most cases you will be able to restore your iPhone 4S back to factory setting but there can be damage when it’s not possible due to faulty hardware so you more likely will lose your warranty.
