Apple thinks they still own your iPhone. Tell them they're wrong.

Apple likes to play games with their customers, namely by pretending that your iPhone belongs to them. They restrict your device, and control what you can and cannot do with it. To bypass these restrictions, a group of digital vigilantes produce what are called, ‘jailbreaks’, which allow you full access to your own device, bypassing Apple’s restrictions. Now, jailbreaks require exploits. And Apple likes to patch exploits, by extracting information about software crashes from your device, and sending them back up to Cupertino. These crash reports cause major problems for the progress of jailbreaks, because they allow Apple to find and eliminate any exploits in their code.

Now, I’m not going to get into a rant, but if you support the notion of getting what you paid for, the best thing you can do is to take five minutes and install this utility on your computer. It won’t bloat your system, or take your time, but it will stop Apple from propriatorizing a device that you paid for.

Please, just take five minute and do this.
