So, my son’s girlfriend is really obsessed with collecting old devices and “jailbreaking” them and it seems quite popular. I’ve never done it before, I wonder why it’s so popular?
A smartphone is a handheld computer. Why should it be restricted to what software the company arbitrarily decides should be allowed to run on it?
Also suggests she’s a technically minded person who likes to know how things work and is not satisfied with a black box. Jailbreaking uncovers the complex machine a smartphone truly is, something that Apple tries very hard to hide behind its patronizingly simple interface.
