Teen Unlocks iPhone For Use With Other Networks
QUOTE A 17-year-old from New Jersey has unlocked the Apple iPhone from AT&T's network, claiming the phone can be used with a sim card from any other network provider. George Hotz, of Glen Rock, demonstrated that his iPhone is currently running T-Mobile's service in a video he posted to YouTube. Story Kristina Fiore Tho he hasn't perfected a software, he has perfected the manual technique. Some soldering and such and it works. Of course he voided his warranty. |

He said, "it isn't an iPhone,
it's MyPhone!"

I'm glad they unlocked it. Who knows maybe Apple will get the hint that there device might actually get more sales (like the Tivo did when it was developed). In fact the more hackable an object is (more customizable) the more the public is going to want it. People want things personalized.

Teen unlocks iPhone,
Apple locks it again. QUOTE Apple's move may be illegal according to legal experts. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act forbids manufacturers from voiding the warranty of a product unless they can prove that the user damaged the product. Whether Apple's moves are legal depends on whether they can prove in court (as they likely will) that the unlocking software caused irreversible damage to the iPhone's software or hardware. Hmm... if whatever was done to unlock the phone is only software code, and can be reversed, won't Apple have a difficult time proving "irreversible damage"? -------------------- I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |
