Modifying the operating system of Apple’s flagship phone, released in 2019, to remove restrictions imposed by the manufacturer, allows users to gain root access to the iOS file system. This process enables the installation of software, tweaks, and themes unavailable through the official App Store. For instance, individuals may install custom control center options or modify system-level settings otherwise inaccessible.
Circumventing the imposed limitations grants expanded control over device functionality and customization options. Historically, this practice has been driven by the desire to enhance device performance, introduce new features ahead of official updates, and bypass carrier restrictions. This modification can offer users greater freedom in managing their devices and utilizing them according to individual preferences.
