]]> Last year, Apple has released its newest version of the iOS which is the sixth operating system available for iPhones. However, a lot of people have been disappointed with the new operating system especially with the changes that Google Maps now has, not being able to show the correct street address. This was a problem for lots of users. Even so, almost everyone that has iPhone 4, iPhone 4S or iPhone 5 has updates to the new IOS 6. It was not long before hackers started working on the jailbreaking system for the new version of this operating system. If you want to jailbreak iOS 6 devices, the process is pretty much similar to the one you had to perform if you want jailbreaking other iPhones in the past.

First of all, you need to consider if you really need a jailbreak for your phone. People that want to jailbreak their iPhones normally do so because they want to be able to download and install for free applications that cost money in the App Store. They also want to be able to modify the user interface and pretty much personalize their phone to look in any way they want.

Before you decide to perform the jailbreak for your new iOS 6 operating system, you will to install a program which is called Cydia and which is similar to the App Store. The difference between these two products is that the App Store is the official virtual online store that Apple has and it offers free and paid apps by trusted developers for iPhone. Cydia, however, cannot guarantee the quality of the software that you find on their portal. This is why you will sometimes find broken links and find that you are downloading programs which are not to be trusted.

]]> With every new firmware update, Apple is trying to bring patches to exploit the things found in the software of your cell phone. Activation is the process that makes your cell phone connect to the Apple servers and register, giving you access to the phone’s features. Activation is necessary so you can unlock the functions of your iPhone. In order to activate your iPhone, you need to connect the phone with the iTunes software while having your SIM card inside the phone.

Jailbreaking is a process that requires you to use certain programs in order to unblock the soft of your iPhone. You can jailbreak iPhone 5 cell phones as well. This means that you can install all the other applications that were paid in the App Store for free entry and can customize your cell phone in any way that you want. Basically, jailbreak gives you access to the system files of your iPhone. Jailbreak is often confused with unlock. The unlocking process of the iPhone allows you to use your cell phone with the SIM cards of any mobile carrier. You can only unlock your iPhone if the phone has already been jailbroken. This requires that you install the program which is called Cydia.

Some of you may already know that the App Store is the virtual online store that Apple has created to sell applications for your iPhone. The App Store can be accessed using the iTunes software installed on your computer but it can also be accessed from your phone. Cydia is a concept very similar to the App Store. You can download applications from it but the resemblance stops here. Unlike the App Store, Cydia is the place where applications are introduced to people using the jailbreak of the iPhone. Apple does not recommend this type of download, does not recognize the software and does not accept it in the App Store.
