Android Root vs. iPhone Jailbreak

iOS and Android are the leading two mobile operating systems. Most users of both operating systems have heard of Jailbreak and Root, but what's the difference? Does Jailbreak for iPhone mean the same as Root for Android? No, the difference is huge.

Jailbreak

Once Jailbreak is done, the user has the option to install applications that are not approved by Apple. So, 3rd party applications, or third-party applications, such as customized ones. To perform Jailbreak, a custom kernel is used to gain root access. In addition to the fact that the user can install unauthorized applications, he can normally use the App Store and iTunes.

Root

iOS is not Open Source, which means that the system code cannot be changed. While Android is, 3rd party apps have a lot more control. When Android Root is running, the user has unlimited access to the system through 3rd party applications: he can change every part of it, create his own system (ROM) and install it, adjust processor clock speed, graphics processor, remap hardware buttons, adjust voltage batteries, and more. All this is not possible with Jailbreak.

Also, without Root, Android users can install applications outside the store, directly from the SD card or from the internal memory, which Apple users can only do after Jailbreaking the device.

So if you hear that Jailbreak is the same as Root, or worse - that it's better than Root - you know that's not true.

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
