In fact, some are still criticizing Apple for their attitude towards jailbreaking, claiming that the company should just stop trying to defeat the developers of these tools and let them do what they want.
It would be beneficial for the users in a lot of ways, especially when it comes to giving them the ability to take full advantage of what the operating system is capable of. We don’t know what Apple’s plans for iOS 9 are, but we could definitely agree with those claiming that the company should be more easy-going on their users with regards to freedom.
But there is still some time before the new operating system arrives, and we don’t actually know what Apple intend to do with it. For what it’s worth, it might come with a shift in their design philosophy towards more freedom and openness.
It would be a bit strange for Apple, but it could also make sense in the context of reports that they have been losing market in some countries as other companies have been getting more and more prominent. People seem to be flocking to more operating systems lately, realizing the benefits of having the ability to customize one’s experience so deeply, so if Apple wanted to retain their users, they should maybe think in the same direction.
I can’t see the need to jail break. The phone and tablet I have do everything I need it to do. Besides, people who jail break primarily do it to steal and hack for free apps and in app purchases. Scumbags in general.
