That sounds a little ominous. They better be extra careful that they don't make it sound like they have done this on purpose.

Don't they realize that issuing this kind of perceived threat only provokes more defiance?

Perhaps - however voiding warranty because users "reverse engineer" a product is common - and Apple has every right to withdraw support from one of their products if it is tampered with. No one can expect Apple (or any other manufacturer) to support a product when you tinker with how it functions. That's just not a fair expectation.
If I built you a gadget and you took it apart and changed how it works I'd say the same thing: you're on your own. Of course they did this "on purpose" PB ... they have every right to. -CB | |||||||||

I have a feeling at&t pressured this statement, I don't think Apple really sincerly cares if I use my iPhone (I bought from Apple) on at&t or Tmo (which is what I am doing)..

I would place the burden on Apple to prove that a specific software modification caused the problem and if they couldn't, I would expect Apple, at a minimum, to reflash the device back to out-of-the-box, AT&T locked condition. | |||||

I agree, though ... being set up to re-flash a failing device seems reasonable - but not support of the modified code. -CB | ||||||||||

That's pretty much how it is as of this evening. I haven't seen anyone saying their iPhone got 'bricked' by today's firmware update. All the unlocking and 3rd party app installs and mods have just been wiped out by the update. So far, everyone I saw posting on forums said a restore had their phone up and working ...
