Apple Geniuses are reportedly unbricking iPhones

I visited [URL="http://www.couponalbum.com/coupons/att-wireless.htm"]AT&T Wireless[/URL] store at [URL="http://www.couponalbum.com"] Couponalbum.com[/URL] and bought a Apple iPhone - 8 GB at very reasonable price..!!

Sean, sounds like you work for Apple or related. I m using the 3rd party program with iphone. And I m so happy of it, because there are over 100 3rd party program available. Not the basic "Calculator" or "Calender" function that you only get few icon. I mean, you have the RIGHT to not like the 3rd party program out there. But MANY of us which we willing to try out new program, especially is free.


Quoting from SEAN
"I don't know why people feel like Hacking a perfectly good operating system for a handful of crappy pointless applications is a God-given right that should be embraced by the company that makes the product."

The reason why the hacking start is because "WE" want to use the phone with DIFFERENT carrier. That will be the BIGGEST POINT of this hacking. I really like my 3rd party program on my iphone! Thanks for APPLE to make a great OS. Thanks for the hacker to create all this program.

Will you be upgrading your iPhone to 1.1.1? Survey

People seem to forget. Apple has specified VERY CLEARLY FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS NOW that this is an EXCLUSIVE DEAL WITH AT&T. They've already publicly defended it, it's in all of their contracts. Contracts you agreed to when you purchased and activated your iPhones. Apple isn't stopping people from unlocking their iPhones, they're stopping them from receiving newer updates. If you desperately need that Etch-a-sketch simulator, you're gonna have to give up the sought-after iTunes Wi-Fi store. The moral of the story is, APPLE KNOWS BEST, if you are just patient, things will come to you. Apple is sensitive to the requests of their clients, but they're also sensitive to the integrity of their company and especially of their products. If you hack OS X, it's not covered at the Genius Bar, just like the iPhones. If you change out the transmission in your car for some "high-performance" transmission, the car company wont get you a new one if that part or any connected part fails. This is STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICE, if you mess up our product, we're not gonna get you a new one. I don't know why people feel like Hacking a perfectly good operating system for a handful of crappy pointless applications is a God-given right that should be embraced by the company that makes the product. It's cool if you know what you're doing, but Apple just proved that anybody who's done this DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. Leave the phone alone, let Apple do all the magic. Maybe one year, the iPhone will be on all of the networks, have 3G (or better), support 3rd party development and other cooler features, but things take time. Just remember, it's only been out for 3 months!

I just had mine replaced under warranty ,after invalid Sim error...
Apple rocks!!!!!!!!

Does this mean that soon there will be a glut of refurb iPhones available?

that goPhone trick does not work!
and dont even bother going to the apple store or at&t
their just going to tell you they cant do anything and write down your
your sn and imei # report it into their system so they know that your phone has voided warrenty

sigh
I keep hitting the wrong verification links :(

Sorry for the duped comment YET AGAIN :(

“I don't expect them to supply me with support or special updates for my unlocked phone, but I also shouldn't expect them to be out to stop me simply because AT&T is mad that they are losing money.”

Wait a minute… If you don’t expect support or special updates why on earth would you install an update which you had been warned would lock up the phone exactly as it did? If you don’t expect updates to be tailored to your hacked phone how can you get mad when you install the update, by choice, and it goes bad?

Until it can be definitely proven that Apple went out of their way to cause damage to unlocked phones, the part about Apple being “out to stop” you is just speculation.

Mine iBricked after update. Lost all files (music, ringtones, pics, configs et all)
