Can updating an Iphone after jailbreaking it cause it to be bricked?

Technically you can't brick an iPhone through jailbreaking as it's all software related and can be fixed through restores. Bricking would be hardware related

As for updating a jailbroken device, it really depends on how you do it. NEVER go to the settings on your device and reset it that way, that will erase some important jailbroken files which causes problems such as boot loops and forced recovery loops.

If you want to update your device then you need to backup and then do a restore via iTunes on a computer. This will remove all jailbroken files so that it won't have any issues when updating

  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
