Should I jailbreak?

Hi,

I have the ipad air running the latest iOS and I was considering jailbreaking. I wanted to know all about it. I know the basics, what it is and a simple idea of how it works but I want to know more. What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages? And if I were to do it how would I go about doing it?

Thanks, Josh

iPad, iOS 7.0.4, ipad is ipad air

If you jailbreak your iPad:


1. Your Apple warranty, if any is remaining, is canceled.

2. We can't help you in these forums.

3. Apple Support and the Genius Bar won't help you.

4. You can get a virus and malware.

5. You may "brick your iPad and have an $$$ paperweight.
