Overview

/private/var is the mount point for /dev/disk0s2, which is the iPhone's user/data partition. It is the larger of the two partitions, and stores all App Store applications, iTunes media, settings, photos, etc. Pre-1.1.3, all of this data was stored in /private/var/root. However, for security reasons, in 1.1.3 Apple made most applications run under the user mobile, and moved all of the data to /private/var/mobile.
