Jailbreak for free Apps

If you have an Apple product and want to use apps, which are not from the apple store, you have to unlock and jailbreak your Apple device!
If your jailbreak is successfully you can download and install apps which are not from apple!

On Apple devices Apple allows only to use Apple products (applications, software, etc.)

Do you want to jailbreak your device? Do you have an iPhone?

If you are using Apple product then you have to need an app store for downloading apps. No issue its free or paid you have to need app store. When you download any app which is free then you have to put all information of your credit card /debit card but there is no deduction from your account if you choose free app.

Why an app store?

First Apple does allow you to distribute apps directly without the app store but this is generally limited to larger organizations. It runs $300 per year for a license. Not sure about the other requirements but this may help

As far as why Apple does it this way they simply want to maintain control of the environment by reviewing apps that are available. That has good and bad aspects. It is good in the sense that it does help keep the really bad apps out, protects against viruses etc. On the negative side it does force all of us into Apple's box and there are of course going to be cases where an app that you will find useful won't make it to the store for a reason you might find questionable.

Hope that helps
