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 unsigned code or software that has not been approved by Apple. It allows users to install jailbreak apps, tweaks and themes to customize the look and feel of their iPhone 8 & iPhone 8 Plus, and also enhance the functionality.
Usually, during the jailbreak process, an unofficial application is installed that makes it easy to install jailbreak apps, tweaks, and themes. Cydia is one of the most popular App Store for jailbreak apps, tweaks, extensions, and themes that are not available or available through Apple’s App Store.

Jailbreaking is legal in most countries. In 2010, 2012, and 2015, the U.S. Copyright Office approved exemptions allowing smartphone users to jailbreak their devices as jailbreaks do not infringe on copyrights.
Does Jailbreaking Void my iPhone X’s warranty?
Apple’s support document about jailbreaking claims that they “may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.” Therefore, anyone who is jailbroken, warranty or not, may or may not get support from Apple.
