Unlocked iPhones in Apple’s firing line

Date September 25, 2007

If you’ve unlocked your iPhone, because you wanted to choose which airtime provider to use, or because you live outside the US, then be warned; Apple will be disabling your handset with their future software updates.

Not only will Apple’s future updates turn a working handset into a brick, users who suffer this because they chose to unlock their iPhone, won’t be covered by Apple’s warranty, either.

Read the full statement here.

[Update:] the iPhone Dev team, who released the only usable unlock software, have released a statement of their own.
