Hello Krysti, I may have some information for you. Also, Mauricio, the
question wasn't about what you lose if you jailbreak, but whether it
could be done.
Anyway, jailbreaking iOS 6.0 or 6.01 is not really possible right now
if you want untethered, and believe me when I say that untethered is
the way to go. Otherwise you will be depending on a tethered
jailbreak, and it means you have to connect your phone to the computer
and run software when it reboots. Additionally, there has been a very
difficult time of it from the hackers on getting it working right. So,
the good news is that if you wait for the long-awaited untethered
jailbreak for iOS 6.1, it's a good chance it will be made available
this Sunday. Now, to address some of the other things which came up in
this thread.
If you have a new iPhone and it came with iOS 6, you can't downgrade.
This is because of Apple signing each firmware installation for your
phone. I don't understand the specifics, but if you Google for shsh
blobs, it will give a better description for it. I have been able to
downgrade in the past before, but that was because I had saved my shsh
blobs from a prior iOS version.
The question I see come up often is if jailbreaking is worth it. I
mean, you lose Apple tech support, and supposedly void your warranty
if you have one. If you find that you need to have your device
serviced, then you can restore and go back to the current iOS and it
will be unjailbroken. Of course you will lose your settings and
jailbreak apps, but that's a risk you take when you go for the
jailbreak path. I just realized I didn't answer my own question on if
jailbreaking is right or not. Like with all things in life, it depends
on the user and whether said user wants to trade in the warranty for
certain conveniences. Or even more importantly, it highly depends on
whether jailbreaking will enhance the user experience for the specific
user.
I'll give an example, if you have been using the iPhone unjailbroken
and it's met your needs, or you are really concerned about tech
support from Apple and/or warranty service, then jailbreaking isn't
for you. If you aren't concerned about their tech support or warranty,
but you don't need the enhancements that jailbreaking provides, then
again, jailbreaking may not be for you. I teach new users how to use
the iPhone and even though I'm a huge jailbreak fan, I don't recommend
it to my clients unless they ask about it first, and only if they feel
they really need it.
I could go on and on about all the cool things you can do extra with a
jailbroken iPhone, but the list would be too long. Suffice it to say
that even though I'm using iOS 5.1.1 still on my 4S, I'm enjoying most
of the iOS 6 features due to some sort of jailbreak enhancement. The
one feature I will mention here is probably 80% of the reason why I
jailbreak in the first place. I'm a Google Voice user, and I have
totally integrated my Google Voice number so that even tapping on
phone numbers in text messages or web pages or apps, will use my GV
number to call the tapped number. Furthermore, sending and receiving
text messages using my Google Voice number is seamless and can be done
through the messages app. These are things you cannot do unless you
jailbreak.
So, bottom line, I truly hope that untethered iOS 6.1 jailbreak will
come out, but if it doesn't, I'll be sticking with iOS 5.1.1 for a bit
longer.

well, there probably is. my question to you is though why youw ould
do such a thing if it messes your ability of gaining support from
apple in addition to making you lose all your jail break data every
time you update your IOS?
