Iphone lockdown!

In a perfect world I would agree, but we live in a world with Open Source and Proprietary. Apple is not Open Source.

At that point your getting in to the difference between personal use and distribution though. You have the right to alter anything you own as long as it is for personal use.

I see your point, but personal use is fine, just dont expect them to support it! That's the whole point, if you buy software or hardware and break any seals or alter them in any way other than how it was meant to perform, you VOID any warranty and right to service. Its obvious. So if you unlock an Iphone and call Apple for service because something isnt working correctly, thats like asking them to support something that was altered beyond the means of standard operation. It makes no sense. And if any updates cause your Iphone to not work, it isnt their problem.

Where I work (RedHat), we support a CSB (Corporate Standard Build) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you alter or root your own machine to change anything on the system, we wont support any problems that arrise from doing so. Not because we dont want to, but we waste our times trying to solve the problems that were created by the user, and not enough times on the problems from people that dont alter their software.

100% right on the warranty and right to service (everyone that unlocked them should know this anyway) But making the phone unusable can't possibly be legal. Unless it was in the terms and conditions statement. I wouldn't know because I would never spend that kind of money on a phone.
