Apple has proven willing to brick jailbroken phones in the past. Have they? The famous case of "bricking" back in 2007 was not related to a jailbreak, but was a botched unlock tool[1] that corrupted data in the baseband firmware. The corruption then led to problems with an update. Apple issued a warning when the update was released saying it would affect unlocked phones, and I can't imagine this is out of malice so much as it is out of Apple's pre-release testing activities revealing problems. If it were an intentional attack against people who had jailbroken phones, why did it only affect those who used that particular flavor of unlock software? With a jailbreak being simply a software modification, when has strictly a jailbreak (not an unlock) led to a bricked phone? At worst, a software update from Apple will just lead to the phone being restored back to non-jailbroken state. http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/iPhoneBrick http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/iPhoneBrick
