Apple “blacklisting” Hacked iPhones?

Posted by greg

Can’t say I didn’t see this coming…

Speaking of hacks, Today I went into an Apple store with a less than two week old iPhone that had the green tint camera problem.

Because it had been “hacked” with some 3rd party apps and was running T-Mobile they refused to service it, said the warranty was voided and “blacklisted” the phone against future service, or return!

Only after asking for the manager and having several conversations with her, did they finally allow me to return it, but charged me a 10% restocking fee…

Pretty Scary! Didn’t Steve and Woz get their start in college by selling a device that would “hack” pay phones and give people free long distance?

The moral of the story: should you need to return/replace your iPhone for whatever reason, restore it to the factory default settings and re-insert the original AT&T SIM. Providing it’s not cut up as a result from using a Turbo (or Hyper) SIM. ;)

is the iPhone safe like the ipod, in that it is almost impossible to brick? Just restore if in trouble?

End of the day its all about “MONEY$$$” Actually DNA has confirmed that Steve Job is actually Steve Gates, Bill Gates long lost “Evil” brother. Spread the news to all and keep up hacking Apple if they decide to betray all their fellow “Freedom Fighters” and teaming up with his brother Bill’s Microsoft.
BRAVO to all in this course to free the world!!!!!!!
