Jailbreaking iphone5? About warranty & disadvantages of jailbreak?

Ok If i jailbreak my iphone 5 and after some time i get some problem,
then before going APPLE STORE, i restore (uninstall jailbreak) my iphone.

now what about my warranty?

also after jailbroken my iphonecan i able to --
1.use icloud app
2.use find my iPhone app
3.update it.

please ans clearly and point by point.every answer will we respected.

1.theoretically you lose your warranty. If you drop the phone for example and the screen cracks for example they sometimes don't check wether it was jailbroken or not.
2. You should be able to use the icloud app without any problems
3. You should also be able to use find my iphone app without any problems
4. Updating is another story. It depends wether the updates are supported by the jailbreak - nobody knows until they come out. But you can't simply upgrade it via itunes - you will lose your jailbreak if you do so

Pros and cons are:
biggest cons are named above. Also a con is that the newer iOS have so many features that its not really worth to get a jailbreak anymore. Earlier it was possible to make folders and have a task manager etc but thats also possible with the regular iOS nowadays…
Pro is definitely that you can download apps for free (at least most of them) and also get most of the in app purchases for free. There are also still some tweeks that are really cool but not many.

I have an iPhone 5 and I did not jailbreak it because its not worth it in my opinion. I don't use that many apps anymore and don't need in app purchases that often. I don't need the tweaks aswell. I just want a perfectly working iphone 5 with warranty.

Hope that helps

p.s. Program to download apps: Installous
Programm to get free in app purchases IAP Cracker
(you find them in cydia, google it if you don't)

If you restore your iPhone, there will be no trace that you jailbroke so you will still be under warranty. You can use iCloud, and find my iPhone app with a jailbroken device.

In order to update, you will have to backup your iPhone, restore it, update it, re-jailbreak it, and then restore from back up in order to keep the jailbreak.
