Sorry to steal a bit of Andrew’s thunder on today’s iPhone software story, but yesterday afternoon Apple released iPhone update 1.1.1.
Apple did issue a warning with the upadate, “IF YOU HAVE MODIFIED YOUR IPHONE’S SOFTWARE, APPLYING THIS SOFTWARE UPDATE MAY RESULT IN YOUR IPHONE BECOMING PERMANENTLY INOPERABLE.”
Everyone with third party software on their newly updated iPhones suddenly found it had vanished.
Anyone with their own ringtones found them to be muted.
Custom themes are a thing of the past.
Apple is not messing around. Hackers and software developers are going to have to work overtime to get their customizations back.
Some people who unlocked their iPhones now have bricks.
I haven’t finished reading all the reports, so stay tuned to your favorite iPhone websites for the latest information.
