Jailbreaking is the process of removing software restrictions on an iOS device, allowing users to gain root access to the operating system. This enables users to install unauthorized apps, tweaks, and modifications that are not approved by Apple. Jailbreaking can be a bit tricky, but it opens up a world of possibilities for iOS enthusiasts.

Apple’s iOS 9.3.5, released in August 2016, was primarily a security patch to fix three zero-day vulnerabilities (CVE-2016-4655, 4656, 4657) collectively known as "Trident." For most users, it was an unremarkable update. However, for the jailbreak community, 9.3.5 became a paradoxical artifact: a "locked down" update for devices that Apple would soon declare obsolete, yet one that harbored one of the last fully untethered exploits.

: You can jailbreak with a PC (more reliable long-term) or without a PC (easier but often revokes). Method 1: No Computer (Direct Install)
