To Jailbreak, or Not To Jailbreak? That Is the Question! - How Noob-Friendly Is It?

Ease of Operation and Use

I know most of you here on DashHacks are pretty smart with your tech, but that may not be so true for the average Google user who has just happened upon this page. So you've done all your research and want to know how easy it is to jailbreak and install apps? The truth is, it's pretty darn easy which makes the iDevice community perfect for any newcomer that's looking to see what a hacking scene is about. Essentially all that it requires is that you update to any current version of iOS 6 (up to 6.1.1) and run the jailbreak file from your computer with your device connected through USB. The software will handle the rest. This is a lot easier than things were in the past so be thankful.

However, I wouldn't say everything is that simple. There are a few advanced features like utilizing SSH and adding repos to Cydia that may take a little work, but even those are pretty easily done once you know how to do them. In a lot of ways it may take a little extra looking around to see all that a jailbreak can bring, but this article has done a solid job of getting the basics nailed down I think. If you're a complete noobie at this it may take a little more effort, but in general you should be just fine regardless of your skill level with technology.

All the major points have been addressed, so now I'll round things out with my personal opinion on who should be jailbreaking, and who should not.
