not exactly, what if a credible cheap support emerges!
what if you get cheaper batteries.
Apple had tried hard to sell their devices as an experience rather than commodity, now they can no longer live that way.
the unlocked iphones become a commodity.
- ubernostrum 16y agothe unlocked iphones become a commodity A commodity which only Apple sells, and which you'll end up paying full sticker price for one way or another (either up-front to get it without a two-year contract, or through an early termination fee if you switch carriers).
- __david__ 16y agoBut how does that hurt Apple? They are still selling phones. If anything unlocking only hurts AT&T.
- joezydeco 16y agoBut if you signed a 2 year contract to get that iPhone 4, how does it hurt AT&T? You're free to put another SIM in that phone after jailbreaking, but the bill will still come every month.
- thought_alarm 16y agoApple already sells unlocked iPhones. And unlocking is legal in most parts of the world; in some places it's actually required by law. Such decisions may affect the carriers, but anything that makes Apple's hardware more useful is good for Apple.
