Iphone 3G

It is stated in the devices section that Iphone 3G is dicontinued. I was wondering if this was about the hardware being discontinued or the software. If it is talking about hardware, then everything besides iphone 4, ipod touch 4G, and the Ipads (and maybe Iphone 3GS) should say discontinued. If it's about software, that is wrong. The latest softwares are still supported by Iphone 3G. Please correct this.

Request for a reivew of Draft:checkra1n

Should all the jailbreakable *OS be mentioned at the introduction?

I changed iOS and iPadOS-based at the start of the article to iOS and iOS-based as nothing is based on iPadOS, and iPadOS is iOS based. I did this instead of mentioning all the *OS (and giving references to each of them to prove they are jailbreakable) as that would clutter up the introduction. However, I am not certain that this is a good decision. --Asdfugil (talk) 15:57, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-I attempted to remove these tags, and was reverted with a challenge to fix the issues first.  However, per my original edit summary, there's nothing to be done.  I'm arguing that these cleanup tags are not identifying a problem at all, so therefore there's no fix to be done.

-* Inadequate lead: The lead reads fine to me.
-* Overlinked: This is a real issue on other articles, but doesn't appear to be true here?  It's not a sea of blue, all the links appear to be relevant, the same words aren't repeatedly linked.
-* List-to-Prose: This is inherently a request, not a problem.  It's not a good request, though.  According to it, things like the "Table of Tools" section should be turned into prose - but this is obviously content best presented as a list, IMO.  Prose would be harder to read, not be sortable, harder to find relevant bits, and would read very awkwardly and repetitively.  "On Date, iPhone version XYZ was jailbroken by the ABC app on firmware versions N to M."  I don't think actually implementing this request would improve the article, so the tag should be removed instead.

-== Does the section "Digital Millennium Copyright Act exemptions" need updating? ==
-The section "Digital Millennium Copyright Act exemptions" mentions that in 2012, iPads were not exempt from jailbreaking. It then says that in 2015, they became exempt. However, since exemptions are reviewed every three years, what about 2018 and 2021? Has jailbreaking continued to be upheld in the US? I've tried finding answers but have been unsuccessful so far. Does anyone know where to find the answers? If so, I can update the section with the relevant information.
