Are you breaking the law with your iPhone???

[Muadib]

If it's Jailbroke, Apple says you are!!

Aren't all cell phones required to be unlockable, by law?

 

[Muadib]

I don't know if it's a law, but AT&T gave me the code for my previous 2 phones. I haven't tried for the iPhone.

EDIT:You are correct.

Therefore, Jailbreaking is (or more correctly, should be), legal. I would further define the case to make the IPA hack, an extra step, illegal. Jailbreaking doesn't let you run hacked apps, but doing the IPA hack - after jailbreaking - does.

Just because Apply says something is against the law doesn't make it actually against the law.

As I understand it, unlocking and jailbreaking are two different things.

EDIT: What you said.

Mine is provided by my employer so it's 'stock'.

If apple won't let me do what I want with a piece of hardware I own, I really don't care what they think.

Same. So far I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything really significant.

You need to make 1 more option...

"No, because there isn't a 'Jailbroken' feature that compels me to do so."

If Apple chooses to take action on jailbreaking, then I will have to say that will be THE LAST day I own an iPhone. I like Apple products and I love the iPhone, but that is ridiculous. It's a hardware device, which means once I've paid you for said device... I can do with it as I please.

I could understand Apple saying that if you jailbreak it, we won't service your phone.. which I believe is the stance that they take at the moment.. but it is not, and should never be, illegal to modify a device that you've paid for.

Honestly, if tmobile would have 3g service in my area I probably would of gotten a G1. It seems a tad more 'open' with what you can do with it. I'm happy with my iphone as long as I can jailbreak it. I love the video recording, tethering, snapature (awesome picture app), calendar syncing (nemus sync is awesome), etc.

without jailbreaking I have no theme support at all, no cut and paste, I cannot sync wirelessly with Winamp to name a few. I can do all of those things with Quikpwn. slugg what do you need to compel you man? In it's Vanilla form the iPhone is still good, but Winterboard + cut & paste + Sbsettings + Intelliscreen = a much better experience. Apple needs to get on the ball and offer everything I just mentioned. SBSettings is so useful and simple I have no idea why a firmware update hasn't added what it does.

Truth.
