Apple Issues Warning on Unlocked iPhones

Apple is warning that anyone attempting to unlock their iPhone to use with an unauthorized mobile network could find their phones irreparably damaged. Once Apple updates are installed the company said that modified mobiles would become permanently inoperable. It follows a flurry of hacks claiming to unlock the phone, which is tied into the U.S. AT&T network and 02 in the UK. Apple also has denied that it is doing anything proactively to disable iPhones that have been hacked or unlocked.
