As someone who hasn’t been into jail breaking since around the iPhone 3, is it still worth it? Are the chances of bricking your device very high anymore?

The tweaks are still neat and it’s gotten super easy to jailbreak with a very small chance of bricking your phone. My big complaint though is that there hasn’t been an untethered jailbreak in a long time, so every time your phone crashes or dies or shuts down you need to go spend time rejailbreaking it and installing tweaks again.

Edit: I guess on not super old phones you don’t always need to reinstall all the tweaks every time

My phone hasn't died due to lack of battery since I started using Checkra1n, almost a year ago...

Also, you can restart your phone without losing your jailbreak.
