Part 1. What is iPhone Jailbreak?

Jailbreaking is a method for bypassing the limitations set in place by the manufacturer in an electronic device. The term is usually applied to Apple devices, as they are considered to come with many restrictions.

iPhone jailbreak can take essentially two forms: tethered and untethered. In the tethered form, the effects of jailbreaking will be more limited and temporary.They will last until the iPhone is turned off. The effects will disappear unless you have a computer to connect the iPhone when turning it on and off.

With untethered iPhone jailbreak, the effects will remain, and they can only be reversed by resetting the device to its original configurations.

In both forms, jailbreaking an iPhone consists of getting access to the root of the iOS and eliminating app restrictions. Thus, the particular methods for accomplishing this will differ according to the version installed on the device.

The legal issues on the subject are always in heated discussion. Jailbreaking an iPhone itself is not illegal in the US. However, it's best to make sure that you use legal and safe software to jailbreak your device.

Part 2. Does Jailbreaking iPhone Remove iCloud Activation Lock?

The short answer is No. Jailbreaking alone cannot remove Activation Lock. However, you need to jailbreak iPhone first to remove Activation Lock.

To understand the reason, you need to comprehend how Apple's Activation Lock works. It is a security system built into the device. The Activation Lock activates when the user turns on "Find My iPhone". The main aim of this feature is to stop other people from accessing your iPhone without authorization. The lock screen is not kept on your phone. Instead, it is stored on Apple's servers outside your phone.

When the user turns on the security feature, Apple will register the password. If someone tries to access the device, it will communicate with Apple's server and send the password provided. If the password does not match the one stored, the phone will receive a failed activation message.

For this reason, it's clear that jailbreaking a phone alone will not do anything to the Activation Lock since the process only affects the device. But one need to note that, as removing Activation Lock requires advanced access to the device system, which is exactly what jailbreaking offers, jailbreaking is necessary to bypass Activation Lock.
