Choosing the Right Jailbreak Tool
Semi-Untethered vs. Semi-Tethered
Most modern jailbreaks are semi-untethered (like Dopamine), meaning you can reboot your phone but need to run an app to re-enable the jailbreak. Semi-tethered tools (like palera1n) require a computer to boot into jailbroken mode.
Rootless Jailbreaks
Newer tools are "rootless", meaning they don't modify the core OS files. This makes them safer and harder for apps to detect, but some older tweaks might not work without updates.
