I'm far from taking sides, but I am surprised it took Apple so long to start this type of banning. I am not sure how it benefits Apple in the long run, but I am sure that if the App Store were my business I probably would have done this. And sooner.
- jmtame 17y agowhy would you bother if you're unsure it would even help in the long run? i see it as a net loss for apple. you're not going to deter whatever "deviant" behavior you think exists on current jailbroken iphones, whatever that may be. if people want to download free apps, they're going to do it. if anything, i'd think you're hurting your image by turning against hackers like this. will apple recover any lost profit because they paid their own engineers to build these fixes? who knows, all i know is that another jailbreak will be available soon. people who want to control their own devices will find a way to do it.
