However, even though legal but Apple still fighting and recommend people not to jailbreak. As described in the article " Process unauthorized modification of the iOS is a major source of instability, disruption of services, and the emergence of other problems ":

In the article described some of the disadvantages of jailbreak on iOS devices (iPhone / iPad / iPod touch) you. One disadvantage of jailbreak is written in the article is:

Yes, do the jailbreak means breaking end-user license agreement (EULA), which means Apple can refuse support or support to your device.
It is one of the disadvantages of jailbreak, and for more details please read the description below.

Risk And Disadvantage Do Jailbreak

1. Potential to reduce the stability of the iDevice

   For example:
   - No application may crash. Can be caused by installing third-party applications that are not compatible iOS device or her.
   - Application is malfunctioning. Many causes, one of which can be caused by incompatible applications, both in memory requirements, screen, etc..
   - Unstable connection (eg Wi-Fi). This can be caused by a rudimentary jailbreak (for instance because it is still beta). To always use the jailbreak that has been prepared by the developer to the general requirements for the beta version is a trial version.

2. Potential to feature an application fails

   One example is a new jailbreak recently released (5.0.1). iBooks can't read ebook that contains DRM. This occurs because iBooks can tell if a device has been jailbreaked. The patch for this issue has been released by the manufacturer jailbreaknya, but similar problems may occur in other applications.

3. Increasing memory load

   There are some applications (from Cydia) that always runs every iDevice is turned on (startup), one example is SBSettings. Applications such as these have a service or daemon that is always executed whenever iDevice boot. The more service means more working memory, and the possibility of running out of memory it can happen. If you run out of memory then some running applications can be closed by itself. This problem is common in devices with low memory like the iPod touch 2G, iPhone 2G or iPhone 3G.

4. Shorten the battery life

   Applications that are not compatible or memory consuming (typically from Cydia) may shorten the battery life. For a full explanation about these batteries please read this article .

5. Can not do automatic software updates

   Automatic it means that update via OTA or Over The Air. Apple introduced the automatic update feature started since iOS 5. And since iOS 5 beta version released (for developers only) users are able to see these features attached to iOS 5. This feature is one of the features to look forward to because it is more practical than the update via iTunes. But unfortunately, this feature can not be enjoyed by its iDevice jailbreak users. If you keep forcing the OTA update on a device that already jailbreaked it will result in boot loop (boot repetitive), and a way out of this problem just restore via iTunes again.

Besides some losses jailbreak already explained above, I also want to discuss some issues related to the jailbreak.

• Is it after we can no longer jailbreak update iOS?
  - If you do the jailbreak on your iDevice, then you can not update iOS via OTA (Over the Air). At least now there is no way to solve this problem.
  - But, you can still update the iOS from iTunes as usual.
• Is it after jailbreak i still be able to access the App Store or iTunes Store or other Apple services?
  Yes, it still can. iPhone that already jailbroken still able to open the iTunes Store, download the application from the App Store, and access other Apple services. iPhone / iPad / iPod touch that has jailbroken not the same as Microsoft Windows is hijacked, which will come to light when you visit the Microsoft website. Pirating Windows is illegal, while the jailbreak on your iPhone / iPad / iPod touch is legal. So even if you visit the websites of Apple devices already jailbroken your device will not be detected "pirated".
