Comment Re:Could jailbreaking being dead be a major factor (Score 1) 53

As the OP, apparently I didn't make myself clear: I want to be able to tweak notifications, move parts of my vast music library to and from the iphone whenever I want to without wrestling with itunes (a lot of my music I got elsewhere besides itunes), disable the loud "DING!" when I plug in to charge the phone; I could go on and on. Without jailbreaking, I have control over almost none of these things and only some with ugly workarounds. Without jailbreaking, I'm locked into Apple's Walled Garden. If I connect my unjailbroken iphone to my computer through USB, I can only copy photos from the phone. Other things I can copy through excructiatingly slow Airdrop. No thanks. And I don't want or need pirated apps, and as someone pointed out you don't need to jailbreak to install pirated apps anyway. I want control over the phone and I know I'm not the only one. But you go right ahead and keep thinking "Apple knows best what I need and jailbreakers are just pirates." Jailbreaking being dead very well may have little influence on Android overtaking Apple, I just threw that out there for discussion. But you went off on an accusation of piracy and got upvoted for it. Whatever.

My next phone will be android since they can still be rooted. iphones are becoming irrelevant to me. My 5s is still jailbroken with ios 8.3, and I have no desire to muck about with the Yalu/mach_portal mess. No thanks. A lot of people like the iphone, myself included. But I can't do what I want to with it anymore. I wonder how many people feel the same way I do? I lot, I would think.

I don't want to use Edge and I want my settings to stick. Why are they obviously purposefully reverting my settings? I go out of my way to change a normal default setting and MS switches it back. Many times this has happened. There's no excuse for this horseshit.
