Let the war begin. Apple has answered the Hacker's by blocking a lot of the work they have done. Unlocked phones may also be toast. So be very careful with any iPhone that has anything on it but a standard ROM image and data.
Engadget and the BBC have been reporting that the lastest iPhone update is breaking phones. The one issue is that the jailbreak hack has been closed. In addition, it looks like Apple is trying to get around the DMCA exemption on unlock phones by forcing activation with AT&T. iPhoneSimFree is reporting that the phone is still unlocked but since it is not activated you can't use it! Engadget is reporting that if you put in your activation SIM you are good to go. But of course that means you have to have activated your iPhone with AT&T.
Only time will tell if this is
- legal and/or
- hackers can build a new jailbreak hack
