Jailbreaking my iPhone because stock iOS is boring and there are so many QOL features I’m used to, I can’t imagine using iOS without them
I can't imagine using iOS...
With Apple making jailbreaks harder to achieve by beefing up security in 16 (there’s progress on a potential <= 16.5 JB) & even 17, I can’t imagine using iOS for much longer either lol
My very first smartphone was a hand me down iPhone 3G. I ended up modding the piss out of it with jailbreak stuff. Eventually used a friend's Android phone, which I hadn't really interacted with at that point and realized I had essentially turned my iPhone into an Android. My next phone was an Android and all of them have been since. If you're the type of person who likes (and gets value out of) doing tweaking, you probably should just get an Android. Many of the things you listed are doable with apps downloaded straight from the Google Play store.
I’ve been keeping my eye on the Galaxy line of phones, my last Android phone was a rooted S6. The fact that nearly-every iPhone out there is the same (OS-wise) makes it that much more valuable to me vs switching, since most Androids have easy root capabilities/customization so it’s overlooked. Going out in public and watching confused eyes watch my phone because it looks & acts different from what they’re used to is the beauty and value of it, from my perspective. Not to mention the resale market for iPhones on a jailbreakable version.
