Set Your iPhone Free!If
Apple wanted to be
revolutionary, it would sell an unlocked
version of the
iPhone that, like a computer, you could bring to the
carrier of your choice. An even more radical device would be the
X
Phone — a phone on permanent roam that chose whatever network was
providing the best service. Imagine, for example, using your iPhone to
talk on Sprint because it had the best voice coverage in Alaska, while
at the same time using Verizon's 3G network for Internet access. Of
course, getting that phone to market would be difficult, and Apple
hasn't tried.
However, given the circumstances laid down by the brutal realities of today's market, Apple can do whatever the heck it wants - and that's quite alright, as long as there is enough reverse engineering types to make life easier for the rest of us.
If you, like myself, do not feel ready to settle down and commit 2 years of your life to Apple's provider of choice, sit back and get familiar with Zibri's blog - a consistent source for efficient hacks for you iPhone.
This isn't at all solely about the beef versus AT&T - this is about making your device fully functional no matter where on the planet you are, because hey, you already paid for it. So while Stevo and the folks at Apple are counting the dimes - go ahead, unlock your iPhone and set it free!
While the first hacks were hardware hacks, you now have no excuse to stay chained down to Apple's strictest of laws - with such an easy, user-friendly software hack around these days, you'd be pretty lame not to try.
