  16. Stakeholders: Apple Inc. • Apple produces the iOS Devices. • They put the restrictions on their devices. • They lose money through the actions of jailbreaking customers.

  17. Stakeholders: Cydia (saurik) and Third-Party Programmers • Cydia provides the opportunity to jailbreak through their exploits of the software. • Third-Party Programmers can add their tweaks and apps to the Cydia library if rejected by Apple.

  18. Stakeholders: Consumers • The common consumer uses Cydia to unlock their device, and use the tweaks and apps made available through Cydia. • They benefit from improving the capabilities of their devices.

  19. What does Apple think? • Apple strongly disapproves of Jailbreaking their devices, and doing so voids your warranty, and you will be unable to get it repaired if it does break.
