How to jailbreak iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS6? Updated Sep 2015 By Sufyan HaXor

In this article we will briefly discuss the topic of jailbreaking iOS devices and also show you how to jailbreak an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 6 through 6.1.2.

What is a Jailbreak?

Jailbreaking refers to freeing a device from limitations that have been imposed by Apple (breaking it out of its “jail”) and therefore jailbreak will remove those limitations on Apple’s iPhones, iPads, iPods or Apple TV (2nd generation). As a result, jailbreaking gives you full access to the iOS system, meaning that you will be able to download apps, extensions, themes etc. that are unavailable through the official Apple App Store.
Jailbroken devices can still use the iTunes the App Store and other normal functions like sending messages or making phone calls, but restoring a jailbroken device with iTunes will remove the Jailbreak.

Reasons for jailbreaking

Many people think that jailbreaking is only about downloading and installing pirated iOS apps. Even though there are certainly many users who only jailbreak their device for the purpose of getting pirated apps, the initial reason jailbreaking exists is not piracy.
Some of the reasons for jailbreaking an iOS device are:
  • To go beyond the limits of what Apple allows and challenge the status quo
  • Improve and re-think iOS features and make iOS evolve
  • Download and use of programs that have not been approved by Apple
  • Get extensions and customizations for iOS and other apps
  • Customization of the iOS interface (themes)
  • For developing purposes through access to the filesystem etc.

Is jailbreaking legal?

Jailbreaking is perfectly legal and there is even an annual conference on the topic of Jailbreak held in the United States.
