While Apple would deny warranty service if they discovered the phone is or was jailbroken, a full restore from iTunes completely reverses a jailbreak, so as long as your phone is either dead or restorable, there are no warranty issues.

- lallysingh 17y agoSir, did you reboot the computer? That didn't fix it? Ok, reinstall windows and the latest drivers from our website. That didn't fix it? Ok, here's an RMA. Not that different from other platform vendors...
- modoc 17y agoI've found that for better or worse, most of the real world involves compromise and taking the good with the bad. So while I'd love Apple to totally open up the iPhone (I'd also like a free yacht) on the balance, I personally choose to have an iPhone instead of a G1 or whatever else. The upside is bigger for me than the downside.
- jrockway 17y agoThe difference between an open iPhone and a free yacht is cost. A free yahct would cost someone money. An open iPhone would save Apple money (no need to pay app store reviewers, etc.)
- anticitizen 17y agoNo way - Apple gets a cut of all those app purchases.
- litewulf 17y agoI find this view disappointing. RMS (famously) remarked that he uses open source software, even if there is a superior closed source version because by using it, he can contribute to an open ecosystem. When I look at the mobile phone market, I am quite willing to use a G1 solely to support the prospect of a handset that I can control. The more people use an iPhone because it is epsilon better, the less companies will be inclined to give users freedom.
