What is jailbreak? Jailbreak is a something that happens when an owner of an “idevice” hacks with software. The term “idevice” is short for iPod, iPad, iPhone because instead of saying each item over and over, this term is easy to remember and saves time when speaking about technology. I believe people should decide to jailbreak their idevice because it can give more value by not following apples rules, its legal and more features.
The company named apple can seem nice to an average person, but to a jailbreakers, they ruin the freedom. Jailbreakers are persons that use software to hack their idevice because people like myself like to believe in freedom for our device. Apple is a company is managed by Tim cooks, he and his employees like to release technology products like from their famous iPods to their iPhone with updates that bring beneficial to non-tech person. This is because people who haven’t tried to jailbreak their idevice can’t see a resemblance between a feature added by Cydia and a similar on by apple. The company apple isn’t happy with people that jailbreak their idevice because to them its called unauthorized modifications which is true because they don’t know what a person does, but this ruins the believe of freed device.
Many people believe that jailbreak an idevice is illegal, but thanks to an act, it is legal to jailbreak. When people hear the word jailbreak, the first question that they asks is “is it legal?” because if it was illegal, not many people would do it. The answer to this question is yes its legal because it protected under the Digital Millennium copyright act (DMCA) because of an exemption added in October 2012. According to Condliffe’s article” Jailbreaking is now legal for smartphones-but not tablets” the following was added as the exemption to DMCA; “computer programs that enable wireless telephone handsets to execute lawfully obtained software applications, where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability of such applications with computer programs on the telephone handset” which means that third party software like Cydia is allowed to install and run aside by legal software with the purpose of being used inside of a telephone. To explain the added exemption is that as long the Jailbreaking software like Cydia or any other identical app doesn’t interfere with legal app like the app store from working, then any person has the legal power to jailbreak their own idevice or another person with their permission.

    In doing so, they used 3 different logical structures in their arguments: precedent, degree, and analogies. Tim Cook debated with a constructive argument, “to guarantee such a powerful tool isn’t abused and don’t fall into the wrong hands is to never create it” (The Guardian, 2016). This is an example of degree argument, as the audience will automatically agree with any arguments with less of bad things because it is good. Apple knows there are no other cases like this one, so there’s nothing to compare to. Letting the government into the iPhone only this one time can set a dangerous precedent that can potentially force Apple to force open every iPhone in the future at government request. This became a heated legal battle, granting the access in their products for law enforcement was compared to “a political question” by Apple with an analogy (Yadron,

  • Should Apple Be Forced For Unlock An Iphone?

    855 Words  | 2 Pages

    Should Apple be forced to unlock an iPhone or not? It becomes a controversial topic during these years. Most people are concerned with their privacy and security. Darrell Issa is a congressman and has served the government since 2001. Recently, he published “Forcing Apple to Hack That iPhone Sets a Dangerous Precedent” in Wired Magazine, to persuade those governors worked in the Congress. It is easier to catch administrators’ attention because some of them want to force Apple to unlock the iPhone. Darrel Issa focuses on governors because he thinks they can support the law to make sure that everyone has privacy. He addresses the truth that even some of the governors force Apple to hack iPhones when they need people’s information. He considers maintaining people’s privacy as the primary purpose. He also insists that Apple should not be forced to use their information which could lead people’s safety. In “Forcing Apple to Hack That iPhone Sets a Dangerous Precedent,” Darrell Issa uses statistics and historical evidence to effectively persuade his audience of governors that they need to consider whether or not Apple should be forced to hack or not because it could bring people to a dangerous situation and forget the purpose of keeping people’s privacy.

    ...d. The creation of the new operating system will also create a dangerous precedent for future companies that will affect everyone negatively. The risk that will arise from this conflict could possibly allow the FBI and hackers to all Apple customers privacy. Though making the backdoor system would help the FBI obtain all necessary information regarding the San Bernardino Terrorists, this create a domino effect that will ultimately affect all people. The FBI claims that they will only use the operating system once if they receive it but prior evident proves that it will not be true. Apple has the legal right to refuse creating a new IOS software to get suspected terrorists IPhone because it will invade all privacy of all Apple customers, it will set a precedent for future companies, and the FBI will mislead Apple into believing they will not use the IOS system again.
