Yeah, they are all in bed with the Devil, using those 3rd party apps!
But you are all smug in the Church of the Apple, 'cause you KNOW Steve will save you. Have another Kool Aid.![]()
What?
Steve didn't have to save me from anything, my iPhone (1.1.1) works beautifully. If it didn't, I'd take it back and get a new one.
So how is apple determining that the bricked iphones were hacked ones? I saw them take a persons phone in the back and then come back and say sorry can't do anything. Do they hook it up to check? How can they say its hacked? They would have to un-brick it to find out. If they are doing that are they re-bricking it to give back to the customer? Sleezy practice man.
I don't know how the jailbreaking works. I don't know how the firmware update works. I don't know why some non-hacked phones got bricked. All I know is, Apple warned people hacked phones, and people updated anyway.
If the unsupported 3rd party apps were more important to them than the security fixes and updates, they could have heeded those warnings and not updated. As they have said, their phones worked before updating.
Again, I fail to see the issue. Or the malice.
