    Exactly. This is one of the worst pieces of propaganda I've read since I was sent to Guantanamo.

    How are the two things related? The jailbroken phones rely on a hole that Apple has since fixed. If Apple was more liberal in the applications it supported, for many, there would be little reason to jail break the phone. For instance, why does Apple get to tell me whether or not I can download an application that let's me shake a baby? I own the phone.

    If you jailbreak your phone you are on your own!



    I'm sure Apple will still take some shit for this because some do not understand the vulnerable and think all iPhones are susceptible, or just think that Apple is responsible for anything and everything regardless if the phone is jail-broken.
