i Phone Hack The i Phone

i. Phone Hack

The i. Phone • The i. Phone was released just this last June 29. • The i. Phone was hacked less than a month later. • The SIM card was altered to allow it to be used for any service provider

SIM cards • SIM cards are chips that wrap the cell signals with what service provider you use. • Different signals, Same tower

The First Defense • Apple started voiding warranties of altered phones • Voiding and denying service

Magnesium-Moss Act • Because the cards are third-party Apple cannot claim damages to its product.

Apple’s Way Around • Even more recently, Apple has created a patch to brick altered phones. • Is this even legal?

Responses It's not about unlocking phones. It's about the radio firmware being altered in an unknown way, or even damaged. (Note: this is DIFFERENT from jailbreaking, OS I hacking, and installing third party apps. ) p n bu ass the t s ed U Why should that be covered under warranty? th o s ine a.
