Apple Warns Against Hacking iPhone
September, 26th - 12:39 pm ET | posted by Steve in Cell Phone Models
Surprise! Apple doesn’t think it’s a good idea for you to unlock your iPhone via an unauthorized hacking program.
Since the iPhone’s release, a growing number of online sources have popped up claiming to provide a way to unlock an iPhone – in other words, to enable it for use with a carrier other than AT&T. Obviously, this runs contrary to Apple’s exclusive deal with AT&T, and, as a result, tampering with an iPhone in this way voids the phone’s warranty and software license agreement. Any hacker is certainly aware of these legal caveats.
However, earlier this week, Apple released another warning to potential iPhone hackers: if you unlock your iPhone, it may cease to function after the next official software patch. According to Apple executives, “modified� iPhones could be irreparably harmed by the next software update – which will include several upgrades and new features, including access to the iTunes WiFi music store.
The bottom line for potential iPhone hackers: you can’t have your cake and eat it, too.

Who do they really think they are…
Dont hate, they are doing what they have to do to protect their investment and product.
You should not have to worry about their investments.
This is a battle between the former anti-establishment turned establishment and the new anti-establishment.
I seriously dont see how apple does not see itself turning into the establishment and a vaunted giant with its micro management of the release of the iPhone.
The logic behind the money made on the phone is the fact that you have to pay for everything; all the amazing services the phone performs, which can be quite costly.
Go RAZR 2….
