Jailbreak allows you to overcome all Apple restrictions and access any file on your iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, or Apple TV.
Jailbreak types:
- Tethered jailbreak (you need to jailbreak your device every time you reboot your device, no need to reinstall apps, but the device isn’t fully functional until the next jailbreak).
- Untethered jailbreak (unlike tethered jailbreak it doesn’t go away after you reboot your device)
After the jailbreak you can install apps using Cydia app that installs automatically. It lets your download paid apps from AppStore for free.
Jailbreaking

- Follow the instruction for your iOS version:
