There was no trickery with the 4s 5.1.1

Apple updated the 5.1.1 build. This renders the untethered jailbreak on A5 devices useless. You have to download a signed version of the original 5.1.1 build and restore. Then perform the jailbreak. So yes, there is a little trickery involved.

What are you talking about? I updated my phone then jailbroke it. Worked perfectly

You are wrong. The new JB works for the 4S as well.

I think some are jealous at how easy and one-clickable the jailbreak is over a 20 step rooting process.

Yes, it does.
I'm going to jailbreak my dad's iPod Touch 4 and mess around with it, should be fun. :P

It does void your warranty but if anything happens and you need to send it back to Apple just restore it using iTunes and they'll never know.
I've personally done it loads of times with the whole Antennagate issue with the iPhone 4 and I got a new (faulty) iPhone back everytime.

It doesn't brick your device like rooting does. You can factory reset on the iPhone.

technically yes, but there is no way for apple to prove it if you backed up before jailbreaking and then restored to that back up… but just as a safety you should have a back up anyways when jailbreaking
