How to jailbreak your iPhone
Jailbreaking—the process that enables you to install unauthorized-by-Apple third-party apps and additional features on your iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad—has been in a largely dormant state since the release of iOS 6. In that version of the mobile operating system, Apple closed many of the avenues jailbreakers had once used to crack it open.
Tethered jailbreaks had been developed for iOS 6, but they were clumsy. Such jailbreaks require you to attach your iOS device to your computer (thus, the tether) and run an application to jailbreak it. If you later power off the device and then restart it, the jailbreak is wiped out, and you must repeat the entire tether-and-jailbreak process.
What those who desired to jailbreak iOS 6 wanted was an untethered method—one in which the hack would remain in effect even after the device was powered down and then powered up again.
That untethered jailbreak recently arrived in the form of evasi0n, a jailbreak designed for devices running iOS 6.0 through 6.1. Like jailbreaks before it, evasi0n doesn’t unlock an iPhone (which would allow you to use the device with multiple carriers—and which has also been deemed by the U.S. Librarian of Congress to be illegal). Rather, it allows you to install third-party apps not approved by Apple via the Cydia store.
