Thread: Apple dropped the hammer, but do we need it?

In what amounts using the "nuclear option", Steve Jobs made good on his threat at any bricks iPhone, which was unlocked and used outside of AT & T service. Cupertino alleges that an autopsy of your iPhone could result in irreparable damage - not to update, which is probably a thousand to $ 700 USA paperweights. But is that really happening? In Giza, of course, I do not think. In their investigation - including the choice of words of Apple technology development - were many ways to relock unlocked phones - even as easy as simply reset the value of the phone in the same manner as in Sim hacker programs were setting them to open it .

Then, in the same firmware update that the decline could hammer We just closed the loop holes without constantly bricking phone. But, apparently, the statement needs to be done. A big one. One fear, which allows any cell phone user who likes iPhone, but hates AT T. So, the firmware update released, and those who were not ready to deny it up with a very beautiful glass bricks. Now there is a chance that the bricking is not fixed, and that the genius of the device can restore the phone well as, perhaps, a new…. But in this case, users will have to register again at the death of cells-star service and any third-party developers are gone.

And is there any legal recourse? Maybe not. According to the Giz, Apple warranty fairly ironclad… means that unlock the phone no longer warranty and their fiduciary obligations to it. But that warranty does not cover is a legion of angry macHeads still fuming over witnessing the $ 200 price slash a few weeks after they have paid the full price for those very glass paper weights. And some sites Tech on the verge of screaming BUY BUY BUY Currently, using some four-letter words, to prevent their readers instead. Add to this unnecessary and bricking issue Cupertino might cut off his nose despite this hiTech face.
