I just got my first iPhone 5 and it's the first iPhone I've ever had, let alone my first Apple product.
Could someone please answer these questions on what exactly does it mean to jailbreak an iPhone.

-What is a Jailbreak and what can you do with it?

-Can you 'Un-Jailbreak' you iPhone?

-What is "Tethered" and "Untethered"?

-Pros/Cons?


Thanks in advance.

-What is a Jailbreak and what can you do with it?
A. JAilbreaking simply allows the user to install MANY tweaks to change the way the iPhone home screen looks, and feels. (customizing) also has tweaks that add enhancements to apps that are already on iPhone.

-Can you 'Un-Jailbreak' you iPhone?
Yes by "restoring with itunes"

-What is "Tethered" and "Untethered"?
Tethered means that everytime you turn off/on your device, you must plug into computer to "boot tethered" to reboot it. you can get a "semi tethered" tweak to allow you to reboot the device but not access any jailbreak items. untethered means you can freely turn on/off your device.
-Pros/Cons?
Pros:Customize, amazing, fun, never boring, adds to "iOs feeling"

Cons: sometimes battery life is shorter, sometimes can cause problems but nothing that a quick google search or ask me can fix.
