Jailbreaking is fast evolving into a craze with iPhone users all over the world. Thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of serious developers like the iPhone dev team and Geohot, who have made jailbreaking and iphone unlocking household names.The number of comments against each post on the iPhone dev team blog in itself is an indication about the involvement of people's interest and participation in jailbreak iphones.
But, have you ever given a thought about what actually must be the overall jailbreaking statistics worldwide. According to the analytic firm Pinch Media, of the estimated 4 million jailbreak iphones detected, approximately 38% of them have used a pirated application at least once.
The Inside story….
The piracy connection to the jailbreak iphones statistics picked up a storm when Pinch Media’s analytics software detected a notable difference in the in user numbers for apps on their network in comparison to the iTunes download numbers. Soon the piracy angle surfaced and a detailed analysis spilled the beans and revealed many interesting facts.
For instance, the ratio of piracy to total installations of the app is at just 5% in the US, but nearing 40% in China; demarcating a strong negative correlation with GDP in that region. Some other significant facts that came under the scanner are that most probably, the pirated apps crash more often than legally purchased ones. Apart from that, the usage intensity is also lower, which indicates that perhaps the users who are using pirated apps for jailbreak iphones may not be regular users and lose interest quickly.
Jailbreak iPhones, but say 'no' to Piracy
AsiPhone users, it is also your moral responsibility to say no to Piracy and promote and support the developers who work tirelessly for developing an application. As per reports obtained from Pinch Media, of the data received by the analytic firm from some 4 million jailbroken devices (i.e. eight percent of the estimated 50 million iPhone devices perceived to be in circulation) 38 percent have run a pirated iPhone OS application, which is almost 3 percent of the total.
Pinch Media further adds that an estimated around a million and a half of those, have used a pirated application, which is presumably low due to the anti-detection methods used by some pirates. The nationwide trends also showed that while China, Russia, and Brazil were leading the piracy charts, the United States, UK, and Japan were in the bottom three when it comes to pirating applications.
