Where did you get that from ? It seems to me he simply banned the device unique ID on the server side. Is it even possible for an app developer to disable an iphone ? Apple would be mad.

"Your unit ID 2f0036... will be denied server connection" The Garadget device, not the customers phone! I never mentioned a phone, did I?

  It's an app, so virtual device, I guess.

    The "Garadget controller" (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/softcomplex/garadget-garage-door-futurizer https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/softcomplex/garadget-ga...) looks like a physical device to me.

      You're right. I didn't look carefully enough at the Amazon page.

  Sorry confusion on my part, the guy mentions his iphone app not working and the dev answer that the device is banned. My bad. Anyways, device is not disabled as in bricked, it's blacklisted on the server side of thing.

    There isn't too much difference between a bricked device and a device that most likely loops trying to connect to the server and fails indefinitely with no other functionality.

    "Bricked" being an irreversible state, I agree (technically). If there isn't a way for the customer to reverse the ban, it might as well be bricked in the practical sense, from the customer's perspective.

    Mate, if you're aiming to split hairs, you're doing a fine job.
