Apple iBrick announcement

September 26th, 2007 · No Comments

We were all waiting for it and here it is;

Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week. Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty.

As Mark says, there will be some funky new thing in the new firmware which will mean that you’ll want to install it. unlocking your iPhone almost means a move away from iTunes and connecting it with Apple if you want to remain unlocked. [via]
