Remember people, Apple are the nice, friendly computer company. Not like that nasty Microsoft.

So, Apple have followed through on their threat to kill any iPhones hacked to work on other networks. God forbid their customers should get a choice in their provider. If they’re willing to sacrifice functionality in order to choose their own provider, then why not let them?

Of course, the really worrying thing about this update are the stories of non-hacked iPhones being killed as well. Not to mention the stories of the update adding extra encryption to the iPhone which prevents 3rd party software.
