Apple has made good on its warning that a new software update for the iPhone would disable unlocked iPhones, according to the BBC News website.
Last week, Apple warned that the scheduled update would leave unlocked iPhones ”permanently inoperable” because the unlocking techniques caused ”irreparable damage” to its software.
Some Apple critics accused the company of using scare tactics to discourage users from unlocking their iPhones, particularly as Apple announced exclusive iPhone deals in the UK, Germany and France.
However, the BBC reports that many iPhone owners are reporting their phones no longer work following installation of the software update.
Interestingly, some owners of iPhones that were not unlocked are also reporting post-update problems.
Some owners are reporting on technology blogs and Apple’s own forums that the update is deleting contacts information, as well as photos and music, on iPhones that have not been modified in any way, the BBC says.
