Good news!! Feel free to flash / root your device📱 if you live in the EU. It won't void its 2-year warranty!
Control your phone, extend its lifespan & choose your software freely.

wait a minute…
Does it mean that Apple cannot either void the warranty of a jailbroken iPhone? 😋

Now we need to stop banks from insisting that their dodgy apps can only be secure on a non-rooted phone.
(personally, I found it much more secure to do banking using a desktop machine which required me to also have access to a PIN for a second device to login rather than needing nothing but a mobile phone and four digits).

> There are currently no instances of litigated cases about warranty issues when rooting, flashing, or jailbreaking smartphones in Europe, nor has there been a rule or provision on this issue. This makes the legality of such acts unclear. So, you can root your phone, but if you wish to keep the warranty intact without any problems, then reverse the root to the stock operating system and check if everything was undone. If the stock OS functions as it should, then you do not have an issue.
