A Lot of iPhone Jailbreaking
The term often refers to gaining access to the iPhone's file system, which is normally restricted. It enables modifications to the look and feel of the iPhone and allows applications to be installed that are not available through Apple's App Store (see Cydia). It also lets users "unlock" the phone for use with another GSM carrier (see SIM lock). See DRM and walled garden.
