The ability to circumvent software restrictions imposed by Apple on devices running iOS 6.0 allowed users to gain elevated privileges. This process, often referred to by a specific technical term, enabled the installation of applications, extensions, and themes not authorized by the official App Store.
Historically, this capability was sought after for its potential to unlock a device’s full hardware potential and customize the user experience beyond the limitations set by the manufacturer. Its appeal lay in the augmented control and personalization options it provided. The methods to achieve it were frequently developed and released by independent communities of developers and enthusiasts.
