From someone who knows what is going on during the iPhone restore sequence, and from what he said, the iPhone NOT bricked. If it is offering to restore, the bootloaders are running (it's actually impossible to brick an iPhone via software), so he just needs to mess around a little bit and restore to the latest software. I'm sure that with a little Googling of the error message, he could get it working again in an hour or two. I still don't understand how this has to do with Apple as a whole. Hell, in that case, I'd take it in to the Apple Store, even if it's out of warranty: they'd probably replace it anyway. All I see here is that the author is lazy, and doesn't want to bother doing anything to make their paid-for device work... even if that just involves going to the store and having them fix it.
