Programs that allow one to unlock the iPhone so that it can be used with other carriers could potentially harm the device, Apple has warned.
Currently, AT&T is the only carrier that works with the iPhone, which was released earlier this summer. In the UK, O2 has been chosen as the exclusive carrier for when the phone is released on November 9th. Phil Schiller, Apple's head of worldwide product marking, commented to Reuters: "We are not doing anything proactively to disable iPhones that have been hacked or unlocked."
Mr Schiller added that he did not know how widespread the act of unlocking iPhones so that they could be used with other carriers has become. Apple stated that it would not bear any responsibility for damage caused by such actions. The iPhone is a multifunctional device that that be used as a music player, phone and internet browser.
