Jailbreak your iPhone or not?

I am not going to talk about how to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad. It's all over the internet. What we're discussing today is, do you still think it is necessary to jailbreak our iPhone/iPad? 

Asian used to be and continue being the largest ios jailbreakers, especially Chinese. Let's see some google trends on searching the term "ios jail-breaking". 

Note that there's limited access of google in China, the google trend number is clearly under-estimated. It is common to see signs saying "Jailbreak for 20 bucks" in the street of Shanghai.

There're several reasons to go through all the trouble to jailbreak the phone besides simply pursuing freedom. 
1, Lousy native input method for Asian languages, especially Chinese.
2, The ability to download paid app for free.

The inequality of income in China makes owning an iPhone a luxury. People spent the whole paycheck of their monthly income to buy an iPhone and showing it off to their friends. There is no surprise that they would avoid investing more money to purchase applications.

However, Google trends indicates that after the peak in 2012-2013, the enthusiasm starts to fade. 

It is partially attribute to the fact that apple starts to allow 3rd party input since iOS 8, which is published in 2014. Plus, nowadays developer tends to offer their applications for free, putting their bet on in-app-purchase or advisement. But the main reason behind this is rather simple. We're losing interest in mobile apps. When is the last time you downloaded a new paid app? Do you still thrilled about the new iPhone and rush to the nearest apple store to grab one?

It is usually a good sign when someone is still interested in cracking your system. At least they're still interested. 

I sincerely hope that we're not too far off from "the next big thing". Not a watch, a bigger screen, or a minor system update.
