Jailbreak is a good tool that can be used to make any iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot, emulator, etc. However, this voids any warranties from service providers and Apple. Also, the iPhone becomes unstable and vulnerable to malicious attacks. If you don’t want to take these high risks, there is way to get rid of jailbreak from your iPhone. Unfortunately for most phones, the only way is to restore, though some phone that use AT&T have a second option. Read on to find out more.
