Apple has warned it’s customers that people attempting to unlock the phone may find that the phone becomes permenantly inoperable:
“The company said that modified mobiles would become permanently inoperable once Apple updates were installed. It follows a flurry of hacks claiming to unlock the phone, which is tied into the US AT&T network and O2 in the UK.
Apple has denied that it is doing anything proactively to disable iPhones that have been hacked or unlocked. The warning will be seen as a pre-emptive strike by Apple in the ongoing battle with hackers who are increasingly making unlocking software available to iPhone users. ”
