Re: Unlocked Apple iPhones disabling themselves

Also, there is a question regarding whether Apple's update damages the iPhones on purpose of not. While Apple is most-likely to stated that such an effect was caused unintentionally, the law requires that the company prove it beyond any doubt.

However, if the iPhone was rendered useless on an intentional basis, then Apple faces an already lost battle, since such an action is clearly against the law.

All in all, there has been no lawsuit filed up to this point. Still, many users are likely to find (if they haven't already) that their iPhones won't work after the update and that spell a huge PR problem for Apple.
