What is Jailbreaking?
Jailbreaking is the process of removing restrictions in iOS, and allow root access to the iOS file system so that it can run software that has not been approved by Apple.
It allows you to install third-party applications and tweaks that Apple doesn’t allow or wouldn’t approve in the App Store. The jailbreak apps and tweaks allow you things like customize your iPhone like changing your carrier logo, lets you have 5 icons in the dock instead of the default 4, perform custom actions such as a long hold on the Home button to enable Night Shift rather than doing it from Control Center, and lots more.
Does Jailbreak Void iPhone’s Warranty?
According to Apple’s support article concerning jailbreaking, they “may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.” However, it is very easy to restore the device to factory settings so Apple will have no way to find out you had jailbroken your iOS device.
