Also known as: iOS jailbreak, device jailbreaking

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

Jailbreaking removes iOS restrictions to gain deeper system access — useful for some research/forensics, but it weakens security and may void support.

Real-World Example

A jailbroken iPhone can install unauthorized system tweaks, which also expands the malware attack surface.
