The iPhone Dev Team is a group of influential hackers among the iPhone OS community responsible for a number of widely-used jailbreaking and unlocking applications for Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPod Touch devices. These applications provide owners with the ability to sidestep the limitations placed on devices by the manufacturer, allowing for activities such as deep customization and SIM unlocking. The team is notable for discouraging the practice of warez and its team members take great care to ensure all releases are free from Apple's copyrighted code, to a point where members violating this are dismissed from the team.

This has been suggested as a possible reason for the lack of communication from Apple about the team's activities.[citation needed] The iPhone Dev Team communicate with the wider community through a variety of methods, but the regularly-updated blog provides current release information and progress reports. As of May 2009, The iPhone Dev Team consists of the following members: asap18, bgm, Bugout, bushing, c1de0x, chris, dinopio, drudge, Fred_, ghost_000, gray, iZsh, jim–, MuscleNerd, netkas, planetbeing, pr3d4t0r, pumpkin, pytey, roxfan, saurik, Turbo, w___, wizdaz, Zf.
