Okay, so I'm tired of seeing all these topics/post, so i decided to make a short list about the risks.


Lets begin:

-Your warranty voids (I have heard (not 100% verified) that warranties no longer get voided after a)
-Unable to update.(You can you will just have to re- it, if you didn't update to a too new of a version)
-Lags your device.
-Freezes your / to where its not repairable. (by this i mean you have to restore it)
-Crashes alot. (Depending on what you download.
-Downloading cracked versions of apps including home-brewed can completely brick
A I device !!
-Proven that a jailbroken device has less battery life
-Can make home button crash and become non working
-Can make heat sensor from fingertips crash
