I have spent the last 15 years owning jailbroken iPhones, iPod touches, iPads, and even Apple TVs. At the very beginning, it was my friends who encouraged me to try it. I was always skeptical, thinking it would cause issues with my device or void my warranty with Apple. But after I tried it, I never really looked back.
