The new iPhone has created a lot of interest and later some conflict. Apple has signed an exclusivity deal with O2 for the iPhone. If you want to use an iPhone in the UK it has to be via an O2 contract. This has caused a few problems for those who wish to buy an iPhone independently and use it with their existing contracts. If people unlock or hack into their iPhone, it may have irreparable damage. New features updates will not be able to b transformed into the phone so therefore once unlocked will not be able to gain the full effects from the new phone by Apple. Apple claims that is has not done anything that will cause the hacked or unlocked phones to be disabled but they have made it clear that it will be a waste of money to have a phone that cannot install features after it has been unlocked. Hacking will always be an on going battle with technology, as they will always come up with something better to break into the latest technology. It is too much of a challenge to build a system that is unbreakable as there will always be a better system. Along with the hacking problems, the new phone has also seen an increased number of unauthorised applications like ringtones, wallpapers and games. Apple states that they want their customers to be impressed so they will want to offer top notch features and technology for their customers to use. Just don't mess with their technology as it may ruin them forever and there is no point spending £269 on a block of plastic!
