I remember back in the day when people would “Jailbreak” iPhones, but never really picked up on what they were doing other than that it let them do stuff that those of us with “non-jailbroken” iPhones couldn’t do.
Are they just booting another OS, e.g. android? Also: why haven’t I heard of it in a while? Is it not possible on newer iPhones?
This is the reason why I will never buy an iphone, way too limited. On android I don’t even need root access to install alternative app stores und custom apps.
