iPhone Jailbreak or universally iOS Jailbreak is a process used to remove some limitations in Apple iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV). Jailbreak enables access to the root of the operating system, installation of applications from other depositories, such as popular Cydia, customize Lock screen, or use themes and extensions etc.
A jailbroken iOS device still works properly with iTunes and App Store as a standard device. Jailbreak process can be quickly reverted back by Restore option in iTunes.
