Iphone plan put on hold ...

Ok so this is something I have been following quite eagerly as I was tepted to get the Iphone imported from the US ...

After getting it imported I would be running some unlocking software to get it to work in the UK .... Well that was the idea , Apple have just released a statement basicall saying , any Iphones using unlocking software would be inoperable after the new update that they are preparing

Apple has released a statement warning thaiPhone unlocking programs may “cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software” resulting in the iPhone “becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed”. Which means that you can now expect your unlocked iPhone to become a useless device when Apple releases a new update.

Apple is currently planning to release the next software update for the iPhone later this week with new features to include the addition of the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store.

Apple is clearly discouraging users from unlocking their iPhone and has gone as far as announcing that by unlocking your iPhone you are violating your license agreement and voiding your warranty, which we started to hear reports of late last week. While Apple seems to be making a stance against the iPhone unlocking it was also very convenient to make an announcement about an upcoming software update, almost as a warning to give unlockers time to re-lock the phone so they can update the software.
