Why do you jail break?!

Just to be clear for OP since he seems to have misunderstood my post about security. Says he agrees but then asks why we'd give up our security. Almost as if he didn't read my post at all.
I'm jailbroken. I am no less secure than someone stock. And I did not give up any security to be jailbroken.

Exactly. In fact, you used the lack of security in the jailed OS to become jailbroken. If that exploit has been reported to Apple, there's no doubt that it was fixed in the iOS release after the one that you are using, as that closes that exploit, improving security.
BL.
The difference between night mode and f.lux is (no pun intended) night and day.
Really?! A lot of the apps are free & even most paid apps cost less than a cup of coffee..!!!
iBlacklist. This has the ability to actually block calls unlike Apples built in call blocking. Apples way simply doesn't ring the phone when a blocked caller calls and it sends them to voicemail. If they leave a message, it will be placed in a blocked messages folder separate from other messages.
With iBlacklist, I prevent the call from ever ringing and to the caller, it hangs up on them so it seems like the number is not in service. They never get a chance to leave a voicemail. Spammers have recently gotten ahold of my number and a two of them were starting to call me daily so I moved my sim back to my jailbroken iPhone with iBlacklist installed.
I also block all ads in apps and in anything on my phone using a hosts file.

I will check this out.
Currently, my phone is largely spam free, but the other features are intriguing.
Thanks.
Works for me.
I use it in conjunction with a Blocked Caller contact I already have in my contact list.
So many reasons... cosmetic - theming so that I can make all aspects of my phone look at how I want, functional - can change and add new features to iOS that weren't there originally, anti spam - as others have said through ad blockers and things like iblacklist.
I'm still on iOS 7 and I don't plan on upgrading my phone nor my iOS until my phone dies and even then I'm gonna try everything I can to save it cause my phone is absolutely perfect. None of this crap new messages app snapchat garbage is gonna convince me to upgrade.

Really harmful?!
Do you seriously believe that or are you parroting what Apple tells users?
Either way...there are ways to manage the 'risks'.
You may not but a lot of us do. For example me. I'll literally get bankrupt if my phone gets hacked or something.
I sincerely hope than that you never be held at gunpoint, phone hacked, etc.
Me...giving up a phone is not a problem.
One of the reasons I take extra care of my phone and always too worried about security.
Because every time I upgrade something gets messed up. When I went from iOS 7.0.6 to iOS 7.1.2 I lost the ability to color my app name springboard text using the tweak I made. I learned my lesson. Don't fix something that isn't broken. Don't upgrade.
Why is it harmful? Because apple tells you so? My phone is just as secure as yours on iOS 9 whatever. As long as you don't do stupid stuff, you're fine.

You are either very ignorant or an apple employee. Wake up !! See below:

Your cup of coffee costs 420 rs?
Obviously, we can't stop you from installing cracked apps, but know that installing cracked apps instead of legally getting them, only cheats the very people who are putting tweaks or apps that you find useful.
I can only hope one day somebody screws you out of money that you rightly earned.
Your kind are not welcome here.
There are some that do. But the point that was made said "most", so an individual example or even a few doesn't really demonstrate that the point isn't right or anything like that. Pointless ad hominems certainly don't help either, and really only weaken what you might have to say.
I'm not ignorant, nor am I an Apple employee, let me show you another example.

This app is possibly the best photo editing app I've ever seen in my life & that price tag is nothing for what they provide. Just search on the AppStore and you'll find loads of FREE apps that do exactly the same thing that your PDF reader app does.
It really baffles and annoys the hell out of me when people refuse to pay for apps that take so much time, money and effort and when they cost so less that people shouldn't even think twice before paying but they'll pay quadruple on a cup of coffee which will finish within an hour.
I just found another great reason to JB. I can block sponsored ads in Instagram using Instagram++. Installing this also allows me to save pictures that people post that you can't normally save using the app.
Also, AppAdmin allows you to downgrade apps right from the app store download link.

I jailbreak because of tweaks like activator which let me reassign buttons and gestures to a multitude of actions that simplify my phone use. There's also lots of subtle UI tweaks that make the OS feel more polished and easier to use. I think your obsession with security is extreme, but it's your device and no one is forcing you to give up your security.
I don't think you should have started a thread with what appears to be the sole intention of bashing people who enjoy what the jailbreak community adds to their iOS experience.
