Lately, owners of devices that run on iOS have been experimenting with their devices and you will find this new method a bit shocking. iPhone owners are wrapping their iPhones and other gadgets and putting them inside their refrigerators. That's right, people are actually putting their gadgets inside the freezer for one of the most bizarre reasons. People are carrying out this activity for only one reason — jailbreaking.

Users often look for ways to unlock their smartphones from Apple's very closed operating system and in case you didn't know, iOS 11.3.1 has finally been jailbroken. The jailbreak was possible with the help of the Electra app that would allow users to crack their iPhones and iPads. 

Having said that, in order to exploit the hack, one needs to have access to a developer account which costs $99 a year and hard to obtain. When Electra was released, users were able to jailbreak their iPhones with much difficulty as the method did not work easily. In fact, users spent hours to find a solution for the jailbreak by signing out of iCloud, deactivating Siri and turning on Aeroplane mode. When none of the methods worked, users started to put their iPhones into the freezer for 60 seconds.

It turns out that cooling down of the iPhone or other iOS devices helps in the software jailbreak. The method mentioned above relies on the physical state of the gadget and lowering the temperature of a device makes the jailbreak work. 

Electra jailbreak has been proven to be unreliable and until the method is refined, users will continue to stick their iPhones into a freezer in order to gain access to free applications and services that are normally behind a paywall in Apple's ecosystem.
