Admittedly, the warranty implications of jailbreaking iOS-based devices aren't a secret. However, blaming the user for hardware malfunction (and subsequent damage) seems a little out there.
Sorry, but I'm with Apple on this one.
For all we know, the unauthorized software is disabling the fan and churning the CPU up the yin-yang.
You want Steve's support on Steve's hardware, you play by Steve's rules. It's that simple.

- napierzaza 16y agoThis could be why they switched to blaming the dropped iPad as the warranty voiding. Either way the author is staggering around and damaging his iPad.
- emehrkay 16y agoI know from experience that some jailbroken apps cause the device to run at a hotter temp.
- necubi 16y agoIncidentally, the iPad has no fan (though I still agree with your general point).
