­"has iOS's escape come to an end? it does seem to be so." ZDNet, a foreign website, recently questioned the necessity of iOS jailbreaking, which believes that the significance of jailbreaking is not as meaningful as it was then. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, editor of ZDNet, said that the latest tool jailbreak was released for iOS 9.1, but that was nearly three months ago, it is now June, and the latest version of iOS is 9.3.2.

­"first of all, I don't think that breaking out of prison is a mistake, and there's nothing wrong with it. The iPhone and iPad you escaped from are your own, so you can do whatever you want. On the other hand, Apple doesn't owe you a jailbreak device. In essence, jailbreak actually reduces the security of the iOS operating system and hardware. At the same time, jailbreak is also a pirated tool-don't pretend no one's doing it-so Apple has reason to help developers fight jailbreak tools. "

­since the concept of jailbreak, every tool developed by hackers will not have a long life, because Apple is constantly updating its system software. Moreover, as time goes by, the survival time of jailbreak tools is getting shorter and shorter.

Another thing is that the jailbreak community does not owe anyone. It takes a lot of skill to find vulnerabilities and develop a set of jailbreak tools, but hackers end up with zero economic effect (at least on the surface).

­the site seems to be trying to explain that jailbreak is no longer necessary from an economic point of view. Because since the launch of the first iOS jailbreak tool in 2008, both foreign and domestic teams have released it free of charge. If you have to say that hackers make money from it, it is also because users voluntarily donate money online, or find co-advertisers.
