In a surprisingly brutal move, Apple has issued a frank warning to owners of unlocked iPhone, telling them that their handset is unlikely to survive the imminent firmware update (to version 1.1.1).
Mac site TUAW has already posted a re-lock procedure (still to be verified) for those seeking to reverse the unlocking process before Apple’s mighty boot descends upon their iPhone. Of course, you could always leave the handset unlocked, but that would, in another way, leave it ‘locked’ in time, stuck at firmware 1.0.2.
It’s actually quite prescient of Apple to make this announcement; whether true or not that the unlocking and new firmware will clash, the company has probably saved everyone a lot of upset when the update is released in the near-future.
