Does anyone jailbreak anymore? I did back when I had an iPhone five years ago, but now I don't really see the need to.

Jailbreak was a big thing with the iphone 3 / 3G but haven't heard much about jailbreak recently.

I used to all the time up to my 5S and iOS 8.1, then got over it.

My 6+ was jailbroken, I'm waiting for ios 10 to get broken. I like 5 icon dock & desktop & tinybar primarily.

Tinybar makes the gigantic notification bar sizeable, I usually make it 1/4 normal.

I used to jailbreak when I had an iPhone just for better icons and fonts, let alone the endless tweaks and apps that are only available if jailbroken. I loved apples quality control and consistency throughout the OS, but back to android for now at least. They pushed iOS 10 to my 5s and it made it run like 
, plus locking out google maps in carplay was a deal breaker after apple maps got me lost in camden due to lack of lane guidance in an area where I had to change lanes rapidly to stay on course, which has been a standard features for year on the android platform.

i used to always be jailbroken too, but i stopped doing that after i encountered some issues with being jailbroken.
can't quite remember exactly what happened, but i do remember that some jail break item I installed messed up my iPhone. So to fix it, I tried restoring from an older back up from before the issue.
Problem with that is the backup i was restoring from, my phone was jailbroken. So somehow the problem still remained even thou I restored from an older backup
I ended up having to restore from a backup that was almost 2 years old when I wasnt jailbroken.
PITA losing all my data and shit. So i never bothered jailbreaking since then.

I played with Carplay in some.of the rentals I got but the lack of 3rd party apps will make me pass on it. Fuck you shitty apple maps.

quick question. In the past when in the email app when I accidentally deleted an email (Got swipe happy) if I did "shake to undo" it would undelete that one email I accidentally deleted.
i just did it for the first time on iOS10 and it undeleted all the emails I deleted for like the past month!!!
anyone else come across this?
PITA having to delete all that stuff again

Anyone else having recent 'issues' with the battery? It seems like the battery drains faster... just noticed it a few days ago. And at the same time noticed that it takes like 3x the time to charge. Both my wife's and my phone. Both 6s.

I checked my serial number with their website and it isn't under their recall.
Funny, a few weeks ago I was running and I noticed I had about 25% left and soon my whole phone just shut off. I was like wtf... turned it back on and still had like 18% battery. Sounds like more phones than they think are affected with faulty battery.

I had the same thing on my 2 year old 6 Plus before I upgraded. I think the battery is just at the end of its cycle and the firmware in the phone sucks at handling the information and translating it.
