Untethered jailbreak意思

"Untethered jailbreak" is a term used in the context of iOS devices, specifically iPhones and iPads. It refers to a type of jailbreak that allows the device to boot up and function normally without the need for a computer to be connected.

A jailbreak is a process that removes the restrictions imposed by Apple on iOS devices, allowing users to install software not available on the App Store and customize their devices in ways that are not normally possible. There are two main types of jailbreaks: tethered and untethered.

A tethered jailbreak requires the device to be connected to a computer every time it is rebooted. This is because the jailbreak process modifies the device's kernel, and without the computer, the device will not boot properly.

An untethered jailbreak, on the other hand, does not have this limitation. It allows the device to boot up and function normally without the need for a computer. This makes it much more convenient for users, as they can reboot their devices without any issues.

The term "untethered" comes from the idea that the device is not "tethered" to a computer.
