You're allowed to install unapproved software. You just can't jailbreak your computer and then expect to download Apple's new updates, most of which rely on their streamlined system's not being broken.
I find that I have everything I need on my iPod touch as-is. A friend of mine disagreed, jailbroke his iPhone, and he's pretty damn happy with what he's got.
- dejb 17y agoI think you are mistaking 'allowed' for 'able to'. I can't see how it would be called 'jailbreaking' if it was somehow sanctioned. It is like saying 'you are free to leave - if you can escape'. > You just can't jailbreak your computer and then expect to download Apple's new updates Image saying this in terms of your desktop. It doesn't make sense. There is no technical reason why why you should need to jailbreak your phone to be able to chose which applications to run on it. Receiving updates and using free software is not technically incompatible.
