JailbreakMe No More?


'Apple will brick your jailbroken iPhone' - in the near future?

More than a year ago, Apple applied for a patent to kill jailbroken devices. This is a security measure to protect the users from unauthorized uses of Apple devices such as hacking, jailbreaking, unlocking, or removal of SIM card.

If it is detected that there is an "unauthorize use", either they detected that your iPhone benefited from JailbreakMe or what not, "access to particular applications can be restricted, access to sensitive information can be restricted, sensitive information can be erased from the electronic device...," the application states, effectively wiping and bricking the device. To say that again, bricked iPhone!

Question, is it just to give them this right - to take back (by bricking) what you have already purchased and owned?

Voiding the warranty as consequence for jailbreaking, maybe or even a big yes, but surely not bricking the device. Seriously, Apple?

RedEye is the new universal remote add-on for iPhone and iTouch. The software and hardware from Thinkflood will make an iPhone as a remote control for infrared devices.
