Not only does jailbreaking not break warranties, it's illegal for companies to imply that they do: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2018/04/ftc-s

  That press release in no way relates to jailbreaking, but to requirements to use branded parts... However, yes, Magnuson-Moss also specifies that manufacturers must honor a warranty unless they can prove the failure happened due to damage or misuse caused by the customer. That (I believe) is why jailbreaking alone can't invalidate a warranty by itself.

    Not that that stops companies from making you believe arbitrary modifications will wholesale void your warranty. The crackdown on "warranty void if removed" stickers is better than nothing, but your rights don't mean a thing if you don't know you have them.

  And yet it's still commonplace for electronics to come with stickers saying "Warranty void if seal broken" despite what the law actually states. Magnuson-Moss was passed in 1975. It has been 47 years and still corporations flout the law with impunity. Does it really matter what the law is if the government refuses to enforce it?
