Number 23 in a neverending series: Jailbreak
Jailbreak (vb intrans. informal), jailbreaking
A hacking practice, by which iDevices are “freed” from Apple app store lockdown, permitting the installation of unauthorized, independent and unapproved applications. It has been estimated that out of the 42 million iPhones sold, approximately 3.5 million have already been broken out of jail – roughly 8 percent.
Hat tip to the Tech Broiler.
