Jailbreaking devices running the Apple iOS operating system are sometimes compared to gaining root access on Android devices. However, these are distinct concepts. In the tightly Apple-controlled iOS world, a user is restricted from (1) installing or booting into a modified or different operating system (a "locked bootloader" prevents this), (2) sideloading non-authorized applications onto the device, and the user is (3) not allowed root permissions. Bypassing all these restrictions together constitutes the expansive term "jailbreaking" of Apple devices. Jailbreaking describes overcoming several types of restrictions and limitations Apple created to the user.

In 2011, Michael Geist, a Canadian copyright scholar, cited iPhone jailbreaking as a non-copyright-related activity that overly-broad Copyright Act amendments could prohibit.
