Probably, each and every iPhone user worldwide heard of jailbreaking and unlocking at least once. Did you ever think what exactly these terms mean? Or what they do? If you did, you’ll find the answers here as we are going to give you a clue on what both jailbreaking and unlocking are about and how they can be used on your iPhone.
So, first things first. Let’s take a look at these terms’ definitions.
Jailbreaking is the original iPhone firmware modification making unsigned apps running possible on your device. To make a long story short, a jailbreak tool inserts specific files into your iPhone which causes the firmware modification. This modification is exactly what allows unofficial apps installation on your device.
Unlocking has nothing to do with jailbreaking. iPhone unlocking is about the removal of restrictions set by a carrier on your iPhone. Let’s say, you’ve bought your iPhone from a carrier, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint for US, or any other carrier in any country worldwide. This means you cannot use your iPhone with any carrier other than the one you’ve bought your device from. Once you unlock your iPhone, you are free to use it literally with any carrier anywhere across the globe.
It took a while for jailbreaking to be recognized legal in the US after struggle with Apple’s objections. This way, your iPhone jailbreaking is official and you can install any app you want on your device and no Apple’s permission is required to do so.
As you can imagine, unlocking is something causing financial losses for mobile carriers. No wonder that many of them weren’t happy about it. The good news is, that, despite carriers’ objections, unlocking is absolutely legal. So, you can switch and use services of any carrier you want. If it happens that you are not happy about the plans your current carrier offers, just unlock your iPhone and choose the carrier whose offers suit your needs the best.
