It is all about iPhone firmware update 1.1.1. This new firmware update from Apple disables most of the SIM unlocking methods that were used to allow the iPhone on non-AT&T network or simply use the iPhone without subscribing to AT&T. It also disables using of third party applications on iPhone. If you dare to use non-AT&T network or use third-party applications on iPhone, Apple, with this update(?), will convert your iPhone into a glorified brick. Feel free to throw it back in Apple's headquarters or see if you find old Steve. But will this be enough to rattle iFans enough to slap Apple with a class action lawsuit?
