iOS Jailbreaking VS Factory Unlocking

LOS ANGELES - July 19, 2013 - PRLog -- What is the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking an iPhone? Is there overlap ? Well, you're about to find out.

One is about removing limitations set by Apple on its propriety software-iOS- and allowing third party apps/extensions/themes not permitted or available Apple's official App Store to be downloaded among  to a user's iPhone,iPhone Touch, Ipad, or Apple TV,hence the term "jailbreak."

Jailbreaking may also enable your phone to be unlocked, but only for certain firmware and basebands and iPhone models, with new software being needed everytime Apple updates the iOS, and requiring jailbreakers to not update their iOS software through iTunes, or they lose the jailbreak and features.

iPhone Dev Team, Jailbreakme, redsn0w, absinthe, and evasi0n are popular jailbreak tools.

Factory unlocking is something else entirely.It is done remotely (as opposed to jailbreaking) and unlocks the SIM card through the IMEI number. The IMEI (or MEID) number uniquely identifies most mobile devices, and wireless carriers are able to track and lock phones to their network through a database server.

Factory unlocking means you can use your phone internationally with any overseas SIM card, you can upgrade iOS (for Apple devices), and stays permanently. Unlocking iPhones is done through Apple iTunes, and all that is needed to unlock your iPhone is your IMEI number and network locked to. A mobile unlocking site (like Toasty Unlocks) then processes the IMEI and retrieves an unlock code and enables your phone to be unlocked, in as little as minutes to a few days.
