[QUOTE="Kash, post: 482074, member: 23444"] Actually, the software unlocks by iPhoneSIMfree work in such a way that updates can't lock them up permanently. You run the update, the phone gets locked, and then you run the utility again to unlock it. Apple would have to really change the firmware to disable the unlock, but then they risk accessories no longer working. To be honest, it's only AT&T that really cares and since the contract between the two companies has already been signed, I don't see Apple getting too bent out of shape by an unlock. In fact, it was the AT&T lawyers that tried to stop iPhoneSIMfree from releasing its software, not Apple. [/QUOTE]
