You really don't need jailbreak with the tons of free apps you get each day/week directly from iTunes. A friend was certain he'll jailbreak his iPhone and decided not to since he basically got all he need for free without the need to bug into his phone.

Warranty and support are said to discontinue once you jailbreak your iPhone, but people say you can restore it back to iTunes without traces of the jailbreak, but I have no info if this will be the case if you really need to bring your iPhone to tech service to use your warranty.

You make an iTunes account and you download for free each paid thing that drops down to free while it is free and you keep it on your account to re-download forever. If you don't have an igadget yet, download on iTunes on PC and then just use the same account on your future iPhone.

Site I check daily - http://appshopper.com/ Make a wishlist to track certain items better too.

If you restore you're resetting the iOS to it's original setting and lose (mostly?) everything. It's unnoticeable.

Well that's what I have heard, but I don't have confirmed info from someone who jailbroke and restored and then successfully passed through apple with his warranty, lol. Technically I assume it's possible tho.

You can restore it and still have the warranty. I know of multiple cases first hand that they do not care enough to look. Sure if they looked hard enough they would be able to tell cause there would be remnants of the program left over and not fully deleted. But that would cost them a lot more money then just giving the customer the warranty.

They just say that mostly as a discouragement and to protect themselves.

iTunes account, doesn't need to associate with my credit card number right? I don't want too :/

EDIT : also, Can i get free stuff from Apps Store if no credit card number is associated with the account?

You can make a free account, yep. Google it if you find it difficult to. Otherwise iTunes vouchers are useful if you don't want to give them your CC number.

About the edit, positive. No difference between attached CC and no attached CC.

If you jailbreak it of course they know. Because of Cydia. AFAIK, jailbreak = the phone moves a little bit slower. IF you jailbreak the phone, and then restore it, you will still have the warranty. JB

Depends if you add mobile substrates, if not then your iOS device does not become slower.

Quote " Some apps (Stacks, many of gjb's apps, five icon dock. WinterBoard) run code on the SpringBoard, so if any of it crashes, you're pretty much screwed. But, MobileSubstrate is a failsafe "SpringBoard.app" that will run in case of a SpringBoard crash. This saves you from SWOD's, etc, by temporarily disabling the code until SpringBoard reloads correctly. "
