• Computer exploit merchant Zerodium says it has paid out $1m to an un-named team of researchers for their method to “jailbreak” the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS 9.1.
• “Jail breaking” refers to the practice of breaking the restrictions placed on iPhone's and iPads by Apple, in order to use the devices in ways not intended by the original manufacturer. 
• That can include installing pirated software, deleting default apps, or using programmes banned from the App Store by the California company.

jail breaking has been popular over the last view and you see now too as someone would pay 1m to researchers to find how they jailbreak the iPhone newest update.When jail breaking your phone your phone can then do many things a normal phone cant do and it can allow you to pay for this you would normally pay for it gives you access to things none else has.But their are disadvantages as you phone can get very messy on the inside with all the fiddling around with it.Your phone becomes unreliable and very slow.
