Quesion 3: iPhone unlocking and hacks

[lilvietkiidd]

i hope he can hack the iphone 4s , jailbreak that shit

[MadGamer021]

Once you buy something, you own it and no one can stop you from doing anything to it or teaching anyone how to do it. If you have problem with, you can make yourself looking like shit by taking me to court like Sony did to GeoHot LOL

[Wasupman008]

There would be no need to hack it if apple made A LOT more customization options. Also, if apple added more apps that can also be found on installer.app

[HackTheTouch]

Yeah Seriously

[porkchoppryde]

Hacking will always be a nessessary no matter how you look at it, they can add more customization more apps ect but there will always be a need for hacking!

[Arkains10]

@porkchoppryde customization is aginst apple's number 1 rule: freedom of choice... as long as steve jobsa leads apple, apple wont have too many choices to give you.

[KnightMD]

To combat hacking, they should make unlocked phones more appealing, like approving more apps faster and making them available on their store. But currently, if you want cool apps you need to jail break ur phone first.

[YoungGeekGuy]

whats you honest opinion steve when everyone isn't around, you must think some of the apps are cool.

[BludClutGangsta]

Hackers always Win!

sorry Steve, your a good man, but that the way it is...

[ZagsRag]

he made no sence...

cause u can hack the phone WORKS perfectly ... i should no i have one

so yeah :)

[ybrik222]

The iPhone should come to Canada.

[tylerbees123]

just go buy 1 from the u.s and unlock it and register it with another company

[zackattack94]

i hope it comes to canada soon

[HyperBear]

You know you can buy it in the states, or off of ebay, unlock it, go to Rogers, buy a sim card, put it in your iPhone and voila, you have a working iPhone that you can use wifi internet and calling and all the iphone can do. BTW, it is officially coming to Canada in June or July, so Im waiting till then, cause then the 3G iPhones will be here.

[chronotriggerfan]

And that, children, is how to say "Hackers are smarter than me" in 53 seconds! :P

[wizkid22]

it is called the voyager

[hotevancat]

verizon iphone pleas

[dj27th]

I hate at&t

why cant the iphone be for t-mobile

[Marlon1416]

TRUE, very TRUE!

[craig7006]

No one has pointed out to jobs that it is UK law that the phone must be unlocked and (supported by apple) if requested from the customer to work on any Network.

[pyrogamer]

Obviously it's not Steve Job's problem, he just has to keep AT&T happy.

Of course, why the hell the iPhone has a contract with any single carrier is a mystery to me. Does Apple really make more money that way?

[IAmHilarious]

Yes.

Apple has a cut of the subscription fee.

It should be illegal for a phone to be locked to a single provider imo.

[MacBooker4444]

steve jobs was like uhh what? lol

[matbonucci]

the people unlock the iphone because AT&T sucks!... even here in Venezuela i know that!!

[MacOSXrulez]

if ATT sucks so much, then why do people prefer it to any other cellphone carrier, you should have thought about that

[AJenbo]

Because people are easy to trick in buying somthing if the billing system is obsucre enough and the add and sails person is sleek enough, and if they in addition to that have the most front doors they are likly to pick up the most costumers.

[WaKeHandofGod]

Have you ever thought about the fact that AT&T had to join together with Cingular because Verizon was surpassing them both in # of Customers? VErizon has THE LOWEST churn-rate in the Industry...dummy.

[delfigolo]

ok. Verizon phones suck. I have nothing against the actual company[comma] but on almost all of the phones, the menus are exactly the same. Always the same options and usually features. You could get an expensive phone and have the same features as a cheaper one. I have an iPhone and it is AMAZING. Be jealous because i get picked on!

[WaKeHandofGod]

keep on believing what you will about AT&T noob...you will suffer with all the others. I'm about as jealous of you and your AT&T as I am a retarded kid with shit on his face...figure it out lamer.

[hitatchiman]

Your not going to convince anybody your right by calling them a noob..NOOB! :P

[HikaruSL]

i got i a iphone and i dont have AT&T i got Tmobile which is works very good for me lol haxk iPhone FTW?

[HikaruSL]

i got i a iphone and i dont have AT&T i got Tmobile which is works very good for me lol haxk iPhone FTW?

[gbling]

good question

[slizzoff]

well. of course he doesnt care too too much about the unlocked iphones.

1. hes still making money cuz iphones are still expensive

2. it cost money to unlock an iphone or more money to buy one thats unlocked

3. u wont get a full iphone experiance with an unlocked iphone for example you will have no visual voicemail

[mstearne]

Nice job of avoiding the question. But he didn't take a hard stand like "We will make sure the phone will not work on other networks."

[krabunk]

Question was about using the iphone with other providers and developing custom 3th party software, Jobs talked about breaking the drm. Talk about not understading the question :-)

[AJenbo]

Yeah anti competision and anti theft is definatly not the same, alto i din't know there was any ongoing effort to steal music using the iPods i thought the battel was around iTunes and the file format.
