It is the most closed OS until you jailbreak it.
ps: Not that it becomes a proper smartphone even with JB, but still... it's better than its factory state.

i think both of them at the same time. When an idevice is jailbroken, you can add pretty much any ability to the device that is non-existent or improve the existing ones. But this also comes with a price. The more you tweak the device, the more it consumes cpu and ram.

I see. So is it somewhat an overlay for iOS (the mods)? Or does it replace the system files? If it does, would that mean it is somewhat really open?

Let's say ios is not "more open" but more moddable than most os's out there. (with jailbreak ofcourse)

I guess we can also say that one of other factors that iOS is moddable is the developers, right?
