APPLE RESPONDS TO IPHONE UNLOCKING

It was surely just a matter of time. The company who is renowned for the quality of it’s software – remember recent ads about viruses and the Apple Mac vs PC’s – would not just sit still and let someone, anyone breach the iPhone’s software.

Recently Apple announced that anyone having their iPhone unlocked risks the possibility of causing “irreparable damage” to the unit, rendering it unavailable for possible future software upgrades. According to a recent company statement, Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software”. By the way, Apple has a new release scheduled for later this week.

Also, in similar news, Apple has announced that it will not support service call on any other carrier, even if the handset is still under warranty.
