iPhone Dev Teamとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The iPhone Dev Team is a group of engineers in the 'iOS' (previously iPhone OS) community which has developed a number of tools to enable use of applications not authorized by Apple Inc on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad and to enable use of the iPhone on GSM carriers not contracted by Apple. These applications provide owners with the ability to sidestep the limitations placed on the devices by the manufacturer, allowing for activities such as deep customization and easy international roaming. The group and their tools have become emblematic for these activities, which are termed jailbreak and SIM unlocking respectively, to the extent that the Electronic Frontier Foundation have made them the primary example used in their petition to create a DMCA anti-circumvention exemption for jailbreaking and Apple executive Greg Joswiak (Vice President iPhone Product Marketing) has quoted them in his countering comment to the same petition.
