    Sorry, Melgross, I wasn't aware of Apple's (Steve Jobs) official position on the iPhone they sell to customers. Then, the problem is with ATT, or the rumor sites are wrong in saying that ATT must pay a 10% monthly royalty fee for every iPhone customer for 24 months.



    As for the $18 million signing bonus for Apple senior VP and general counsel, see:



    New Apple general counsel secured $18 million signing bonus:

    And, I must confess that rumor sites report that iPhone unlocking companies are contacted by ATT attorneys, not Apple lawyers, so there must be a difference between Apple and ATT's position about unlocking an iPhone.



    My final point is that, if you own an iPhone, you can do what you want with it.
