Jailbreak How started in early 2012 as a fast-moving news blog about iPhone, iPad and iPod touch jailbreaks. Those were the days of redsn0w, Absinthe and the race for every new iOS version, and the site published release news, tweak reviews and tutorials.
The jailbreak world has changed, and so have we. Jailbreak How is now an independent publication that looks at the subject from a distance: how jailbreaking worked, why people did it, what it cost in security, which tweaks became official iOS features and how to keep an iPhone safe and healthy today.
What we cover
- Jailbreak History: the tools, teams and turning points, retold with hindsight.
- Tweaks & iOS Features: the famous Cydia packages and the iOS features that replaced them.
- Security & Device Care: legal questions, security risks, batteries, unlocking the legal way and handing over old devices.
- Casino Apps: how real-money betting, poker, lottery and social casino apps work on the iPhone, from App Store rules to location checks and account security.
What we do not do
- We do not host or link to jailbreak tools, cracked apps or "free paid app" stores.
- We do not publish methods to bypass carrier locks, Activation Lock, DRM or app security checks.
- We do not sell devices or services.
