If you’re a Uk iPhone user thanks to the unlock methods that were made available earlier this month, then you might be a little worried about Apples new iPhone update.
Apple are pushing out the Firmware 1.1.1 update this weekend. The update brings the iTunes WiFi store to the phone, just like the iPod Touch.
Depending on how your iPhone was originally unlocked will give you different results. “Jail broken” handsets are going to turn in to expensive AT&T paper weights as the 1.1.1 update security has been tightened up.
Users of the open source SIM unlock software are getting an “Incorrect SIM” error message.
So if you’re running an iPhone in the UK – don’t do the update, do you really want iTunes store on your phone that much? Well there are other update features, Engadget has a nice round up of the features and status of the 1.1.1 progress on unlocked phones.
LOL….I am so tired of this iPhone. So much hype!
moral of this story: every time you hack anything, make sure you will not do update. hacker’s rule number 1
iPhones are looking more and more tired all the time. Lots of hype before they came out and then it’s all downhill from there.
not worth the update I tell ya!! just wait for someone to release the safe version!

I’ve heard of some unlocked iPhones got lucky and didn’t get it bricked, and I’ve also heard of locked iPhones getting bricked. Crazy!
