Comments on: Biting Apple http://architectures.danlockton.co.uk/2007/09/28/biting-apple/ How do people use products, systems and environments? How can designers influence interaction? How can we design for sustainable behaviour?

But I agree with the author it is well possible Apple would have sold more iphones if you as a consumer are not forced to buy a phone with an subscription to AT&T. It would have been much more transparent for us, the costumers, if we could see how everything was priced. Well, I agree it was kind of mean of Apple to release this update.

If Apple could think outside the box (so to speak), I'm pretty sure they are smart enough to find a solution that would benefit everyone. Issuing an update which damages iPhones that have been hacked by users is simply in a word: mean. Owners of second-hand iPhones that have been hacked without their knowledge would be the ones worst hit. This arrogant move may rot the image of Apple.

That's why there are so many jokes at the expense of Mac propellerheads. The difference now is that SJ is playing to a much larger audience. His calculation, presumably, is that the levels of customer satisfaction with mobile phone networks that get reported by the likes of uSwitch are so low to begin with, that he stands a chance.

OH Darn you so and so company, if this breaks its your fault , better pay up. There is a reason its called hacking and not cosmetic digital design, the results are not always pretty. To blame apple for using industry tactics to keep there regular customers devices updated is foolish. Hack and your device may hack back. to bad so sad!! :( Just dont get it myself, As someone who has - HACKED - devices for 25 plus years, i have never said as i was breaking the warranty seal or hard coding system commands….
