Apple tried to disable the on jailbroken devices

Saturday, August 28, 2010

Apple has filed patents covering a variety of methods to identify and disable unauthorized use. Including jailbroken and various other methods to hack on iPhone and iPad. Although the U.S. government officially gave permission to the jailbreaking process (ie the code that gives access to users for the use of extensions and themes that are not official Apple product) on the iPhone and other electronic devices for the purpose of "education". But Apple seems determined to gain further control over the device. Currently, the Cupertino, California company based companies technology automatically revoke the warranty on all iPhones that have been in jailbreaking and hacking.Patents filed in February and focused on the efforts to identify the user's device if the device is stolen and protect all the important information in the device that was stolen (such as credit card numbers and passwords). Then after the Apple knows that it is stolen then the user can perform remote Appla directly from the server and delete all the data directly from the server. But the patent also covers methods to identify the device that has been in jaibreaking, such as the monitoring of an abrupt increase in the memory of the commonly used memory. Apple also wants to patent the party at the time of authentication hacking programs Apple is running the party can unilaterally remove the personal data directly from the device and disconnect the phone service.

In other words, Apple explains that it wants to fight jailbroken with the pretext to protect customers from theft because of the fact that Apple can not determine whether perngakat has been stolen or when the user performs the process of Jailbreaking by users.

Understanding Consumer Reports’ iPhone 4 advisory


Consumer Reports’ revised iPhone 4 advisory is bound to make all of the nightly newscasts as Apple staffers are scrambling to delete user comments referencing the report. How could a well-respected product evaluation agency advise against buying Apple’s baby and at the same time rate iPhone 4 as the best smartphone on the planet?You could be forgiven for thinking that Consumer Reports hates Apple’s phone. Its revised advisory says you should hold off buying an iPhone 4 until Apple fixes the so-called death grip. It also slams the gadget maker over the claim that an upcoming firmware update will fix the issue as it contradicts their lab tests proving that the signal bars drop when you bridge the antenna gap found in the phone’s bottom left corner.

It’s a design flaw that cannot be fixed in software, Consumer Reports insists, and has nothing to do with AT&T’s network or anything on the network end. The post also makes a brief mention of the phone’s overall performance that places it “atop the latest ratings of smartphones.” The problem is, those ratings are available in exchange for $5.95 a month or $26 a year, meaning the vast majority of readers didn’t get the full picture.
