Jailbreaking is a method used to unlock certain parts of the Apple software to allow third-party developers to create and distribute their applications without needing clearance from the Apple App Store first. Many people also use it for aesthetic purposes too, as it can be used to change the look and feel of the iDevice.

However, it should be noted that not some people use this freedom to cheat, however, not all jailbreakers are cheaters, so it is wrong to say that jailbreaking is cheating. Cheating is cheating. That said, not all cheaters are jailbroken too,

Jailbreaking can also void your warranty and cause potentially major stability issues, depending on what you install etc.
