With news that jailbreaking no longer violates the DMCA, Apple has naturally come out on the defensive. Cult Of Mac talked with Apple’s PR department who offered the following statement:
“Apple’s goal has always been to insure that our customers have a great experience with their iPhone and we know that jailbreaking can severely degrade the experience. As we’ve said before, the vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones as this can violate the warranty and can cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably.”
On the issue of prosecution, Apple has only said that it hasn’t sued jailbreakers or software makers before. Obviously, Apple isn’t too happy with the development, and they wan’t to retain as much control over the phones as possible.

Is anyone surprise at this? I’m not because they have a right to secure what they made. Some jailbroken apps are unsecured and can really mess up your phone. With that being said I can’t wait for the jailbreak to come out. Apple doesn’t know if your phone is jailbroken if it doesn’t turn on, so it doesn’t matter.
I’m positive apple or AT&T can find out which phones are jailbroken. Every phone has an ID and devices can be wiped remotely. I’m sure the filesystem can be accessed remotely and of so you can easily tell if it’s been jailbroken.
I’d jailbreak for the ability to have wallpaper on the home screen. I hve a 3G, and iOs4 only let you do that on 4 and 3GS… Apple said because it didn’t perform well on regular 3G. I think that’s bs, they just want to sell more 3gS and 4′s.
Im glad jailbreaking is available. And that statement about jailbreaking downgrades the iphone is a joke. We wouldn’t have this problem is apple changes up this 3 year old face thats been around since the original iphone. Come on apple. Give us widgets and a screen that standard to newer smartphones.
