First, I do not have an iPhone.
And I will not want one as long as Apple continues to treat iPhone unlockers like criminals!
What's wrong with unlocking a phone? In many countries, it's actually standard practice to buy an unlocked phone and get only a SIM card from your network operator. Greater flexibility! It's a free market.
Phone companies are understandably not happy about phones being unlocked, especially when they give them out for free like they do in the UK and US! It's understandable why they charge you for unlocking services.
But Apple is taking nastiness to a HIGHER level...
1. Forbidding, OUTRIGHT, iPhone users from using "unauthorised" networks. Even for a fee.
2. Sending out updates that DISABLE software in unlocked phones... if this doesn't spell E-V-I-L, I don't know what does.
People BOUGHT their iPhones - for £270!! What right does Apple have to say what they can and can't do with it?? "Unauthorised networks"? Who do they THINK they are??
