what's a firmware file?

As in "Over the last few years, the jailbreak community has released a number of tools to jailbreak the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch for each iOS firmware file."?

Is it different versions of iOS such as iOS 6 and 7?

Anonymous Is it different versions of iOS such as iOS 6 and 7? I would suppose that each has its own firmware files, yes. Firmware : instructions for a computer that are stored in a memory unit rather than in software.

  • Software stored in PROM, ROM or EPROM; essential programs that remain even when the system is electrically turned off.
  • Firmware is considerably easier to modify than hardware but more permanent than software stored on disk or volatile memory.
