‘Don’t unlock iPhone’ warns Apple

Apple claim that unlocking your iPhone with one of the programs available online could irreversibly damage it, but they would say that, wouldn’t they.
In a statement released yesterday, the company said: “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.”
What this basically translates to is that Apple obviously doesn’t want people unlocking their iPhones, as they’ll lose valuable revenue from commissions on iPhone usage and also the goodwill of companies such as AT&T in America and O2, Orange and T-Mobile in Europe.
It is fair to say though, that future updates to the iPhone’s system software (there’s one due this week that will offer the WiFi Music Store upgrade) won’t work and you will also validate your warranty, too.
Still, with all the money you save on calls you could probably afford to buy a new iPhone when your old one breaks.
