Rooting may be done to make an Android phone look like an iPhone or to load blocked applications
Jailbreaking is used on iOS devices to gain root or superuser access
Apple's control over its devices led to the development of jailbreaking
Jailbreaking allows users to change carriers, side load applications, and customize the interface
Jailbroken phones are more vulnerable as they exploit known vulnerabilities in the operating system
Jailbreaking can lead to significant security vulnerabilities and is not recommended
Rooting or jailbreaking makes devices significantly less secure, posing a huge security concern
